Add 200 ban list capacity ⬆⬆⬆

[river karma]

The update that made passlists from 50>200 was very useful, especially for KvK where there are more than a hundred fighters roaming from shell to shell, but we also need the 200 ban/block list capacity.
In order to ban spam member applications and to avoid mistakenly accept to DW or rogues using disguised in different names either as a farm or a current member.
Expanding the ban list to 200 names would provide leadership more safety from rogues getting into Zone 3 and zeroing farms, DWs from accidentally getting accepted during wartime, or from rogues in other kingdoms within a camp to hide from their own kingdom.

I am not against, but if you need to ban 200 accounts that kingdom has some SERIOUS issues.

[river karma]

No, but there are times that we would need over 50 ban slots, and it is for KvKs mostly. I just find it unbalanced how they gave 200 pass list slots, while letting the ban list stay at 50.

[west condor]

ok but there arent even 200 people in 99% of the kingdoms, the average kingdom is like 80 to 100 people.

Wait what kd are you in?

[river karma]

Are you sure about that? What KD are you from?

You are right about the 80-100, but saying that 99% of KDs dont have over 200 players is more than an exaggerated statement. Poor 1960/2377, just being the 1% outlier🤣

[west condor]

Its not an exaggeration. Outside of a few imperium all other kingdoms in SOC are 1 alliance kingdoms. You might see 300, 400, accounts but most of those are farms. I am in C seed right now we have about 60 main accounts. Last A seed I was in was around 100. The name of the game is be as small and lean as you can to avoid imperium so you dont have to face kingdoms like that.

[river karma]

I understand that. It is still exaggerated to say that 99% of all KDs does not have 200 players. You can say your KD has 60-100 players, but you are excluding the DWs from that. If you are in a very old KD, of course the population will go low over that period of time as people quit/migrate, but if you are in a recent KD that came from the 3000+, there would still be around 200 CH25s in those KDs. Check your own KDs data to verify first. Most of the lowest of C seed or already D seed have less than 200 CH25s, and that is what we want to ban. Are you a part of your KDs leadership? Try asking your data team on your KDs no. of CH25s, those are the people we want to ban, especially if they are actively playing within smaller alliance or even without any.

You are from 3027?

[west condor]

300 level 25s doesnt equal 300 players. A lot of the time 1 person has 1 or 2 lvl 25 farms/filler accounts.

[west condor]

Currently yes, but before that I was in a few different A seed kingdoms.

[river karma]

true, so we need to fix the wording then. From 200 players, to undesirable 200 CH25 accounts that keep on applying to alliances.

You are lucky to be in a KD with that little amount of DW

But know that, the 200 ban list does not necessarily need to be for DWs. In KvK, there are rogues from other KDs that our camp mates want to ban. It is still useful to expand the ban lists to cover all of the unwanted players from coming in.

Expanding the banlist is still important, smaller shells need it more than active ones, as main alliances can actively monitor who applies, you will never know if the smaller alliances mistakenly accepted DWs/rogue. The headache is that if the alliance have access to Z2 or Z3 in HK.

My farms are victims for that🤣. We forgot that there were a few people in past KvKs that were rogue, and they were accepted because their names were removed for the new rogues. They got accepted and began zeroing farms in Z3

[west condor]

but again I never said I was against this idea, its more of a thought that I dont see it as a high priority.
