Instead of having us to grab a users IP, ( which we all know how that will end), there should be a built-in ROBLOX feature in Lua that bans players when you use that set function.
For example:
game.Players.devAstral:ipban()
How would this benefit developers?
I've played a lot of games, where people will exploit, and get banned via Kohls Epix Admin. They can easily bypass this by creating a new account.
Also, imagine how much people would suffer to those who use paid exploits. They'd have to purchase a whitelist for that exploit for another account.
Opinions on this? |

I have actually been thinking about this, but I was thinking instead of a complete IP ban until the script is removed...
A timed IP Ban, a script that is timed and stored into a server storage system. So while the person that's IP Banned is away from the server, the timer would still run.
So, yeah. I agree, a LUA ban that's perfect. but just one issue.
Example:
Exploits into dev's account.
Deletes ban script.
Continues on exploiting in game.

I mean, in order for a dev's account to be "exploited" would be a small chance. He would need to give away his information for that to happen.

Its a small chance, but It could happen. |

there is no reason to ban anyone from your game unless they have done anything against the roblox rules
if they did do something wrong, then you should report it and it is roblox's task to review the report and ban them if needed
you shouldn't be banning people from your place because it's roblox's task to do so
|

and in case you've never been IP banned and never tried to change your IP, then you should know that changing your IP is as easy as changing your internet SSID
therefore this is an unnecessary suggestion as bypassing any IP ban is easy enough that it would render this feature useless

GodShowsTheWay,
The only reason why you would ban them if the person/developer has no provided evidence, And typically Roblox takes a while until there banned. And since they can just make a new account when there main is banned. Roblox needs more evidence for a IP ban. The way IP bans work is there's either a 2 week IP ban or a full on IP ban. If Roblox has no evidence then they can't be IP banned. So this idea for a LUA IP ban is brilliant. |

GodShowsTheWay,
Changing your IP without letting your internet provider know is considered illegal, internet providers check your IP once in a while to check if you've changed it without letting them know. |

Thanks and I agree but it should have some sort of a strike system a one-off offence isnt much but if it counts the offences from that ip and if it hits 3 they get a ip bad I think that will be better.
Also each time they get a strike they get a notitfacation,

This wouldnt be a script, it would be a feature IMPLEMENTED into Lua itself.
For example, let's say I make up a random function,
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
if plr.Name= thisIsAnExample then
plr:ipban()
end

I honestly support this idea maybe a timed IP ban though but leaving the perm IP block to roblox staff. |

Some of you are getting confused, and think the IP ban will apply for the website.
NO, that is not the point.
The point is, users will be able to manage their games more better ( ban exploiters, etc ).

a surge of users with vpns lagging everywhere while exploting.
cookies is a major food group |

bad ideas 2015
one can play under a vpn
one can get into memory and somehow find ip

Yeah but people will rely on virtual private networks to try to access your game. But meh this is why I decided to not to develop games on roblox the firewall and security sucks. |

"Changing your IP without letting your internet provider know is considered illegal, internet providers check your IP once in a while to check if you've changed it without letting them know. "
I've changed my IP many times for various reasons. Changing your IP isn't illegal, so I don't know where you got that false information.

My guess is that you live in the UK because they have strict laws that prohibit you from changing your IP without legal permission.
