This is almost like trying to hunt down and stomp out a desync bug.

hes on now if you want to ban him

He has 2 accounts, 1 with "s'a d d" for spamming other is with (^__^) name. Ban both pls. He often uses them at same time.

ICO also generally gets very laggy while spammer is on. Makes it very difficult to host games. Whether this is under influence of the spammer, I do not know.

He spams from multiple servers, so logs in with multiple "s' a  d d" names at the same time (at least 3). May be an attempt to escape ban from one server.

It'll be pretty embarassing if they can't decisively ban this guy.  How hard could it be?  Can't they just ban his CD key?

This is one way increase sales; However if he is using illegally obtained CD keys this can be a difficult issue to solve.

If it becomes a real serious problem they could probably track him down in real life and threaten to sue him based on something like trespass to chattels on the Internet.  If he works for a rival business attempting to sabotage his competitor, then it would get very spicy.

In all seriousness the fact that its taking so long for a company to ban 1 guy from a game with such a small community speaks volumns of the underlaying fundation problem that admins have over their lack of control over ico.

This person may be doing us a favor in exposing the major problems ICO has and may encourage the developers to take action and show ico some much needed attention.

I always thought that access to ICO was CD-key based.  If it isn't then it seems like it would be susceptible to use by clever pirates.

I think if ICO was key based you would need impulse to run in the background.

Pretty much the whole online community is asking for him to be banned, I don't know who they could be waiting for.

If they would prevent him from updating, he wouldn't be able to log onto Diplomacy as of the next patch.
