OK, time to present what I have been working on during the last few days.
- Set a password for your U.S.G.N.. Grumpy Häppy ;) changed his mind and decided that Deus' proposal was actually pretty good. You can now use the !passwd command to set a password for your U.S.G.N., like this:
!passwd <password>
If you want help to choose a good password, use the !genpasswd command. It will generate and set a fairly good one.
Next time U.S.G.N. is down, you can use the !login command to set your U.S.G.N.:
!login <U.S.G.N.> <password>
Running the !passwd command without an argument disables logins for your account. Use this if you fear someone is trying to hack your account.
Three failed login attempts in a row will lock your U.S.G.N. for three hours.
Note: Do NOT use the same password as for your U.S.G.N. account at unrealsoftware.de!
Note 2: Choose a GOOD password! This is especially important for moderators and admins.
Note 3: All login attempts are logged together with the IP address. Trying to hack an account will lead to a permanent BAN!
Note 4: Your rank will NOT be updated even after successfully setting your U.S.G.N. with !login. It only works if you are really logged in to U.S.G.N.. Your activity will be registered, though, so that you can keep or gain V.I.P. status, for instance.
Note 5: Hot Chills staff will NOT reset your password if you lose it. However, when U.S.G.N. is up, you can change it without having to enter the old one.
- Sound effects for notifications, warnings, errors, PMs and GMs have been added.

it will help a'lot. :)

Grumpy happy became a happy happy, I know it makes no sense but I wanted to say it :D
Anyway cool updates as always happy :)
-
Nice work as always! Now get on that "push" command. ;)
Also, to all Moderators:
Since you have been given the password generator to aid you, sharing/failing to protect your account will not be tolerated.
-
Yeahhh !!! You listened to me xD !
-
Sorry, Blackflamm, I forgot to mention that you suggested this as well. :)
-
Had some time to test it out. Works well, haven't found any bugs.So the account being locked resets when you actually log in to your USGN?
Also lets hope nobody learns how to abuse the account being locked when USGN goes down..
-
Thanks for testing. Yes, when you log in to USGN and connect to the server the lock will be reset, but you will be notified about the failed attempts. It's your choice then if you want to remove the password and thereby disable password logins completely.
Yeah, it's possible to abuse, of course. If we trust people to choose good passwords, we could set the temporary lock duration to a lower value or remove it completely.

Do I have a chance to be promoted if I offer idea xD?
-
I am not the one that decides, but my feeling is that if you come up with good ideas, it will increase your chances to get promoted.
-
