DDoS? Read logs please Mods+.

I was JUST reporting gilpvm, and all of a sudden...

king, gilpvm, Alex, PPD, and Anicked1 kept repeatedly leaving and joining the server.. Which could've caused it to crash.

I believe this could be an attempted DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service). Which I wouldn't tolerate.
I would ban them. But I am not a Mod+. So I may be wrong. My ideas aren't always right.

But gilpvm was messaging (most likely) people as someone replied (I believe) outright in chat..

I do not know about the rest.

i doubt this was a DDoS issue, as this also happened to me.
Thing is:
As soon as they logged, they were immedately disconnected ue to "End of Stream".
This made it look like it was massive join spams.
But alas, this was fixed

Yey, thank you Killa, now I can talk on chat.. xD A few people still cannot connect though, apparently.. D:

What to do as admin when there is a ddos? /kickall or just ban the names? Or is there a faster way?

Kick the names? And if they keep DDoSing, Kick-Ban? But not perma? I'unno. I wouldn't /kickall as the sexy players like me may not be able to connect again. :c

But as for which is faster, it REALLY depends on how much DDoS'ers there are. If there is 1-4 of them, Ban the names, and 5+, /kickall .. UNLESS if there are a lot of people on the server, which is what normally doesn't happen.

That is my hypothesis... But I can't make these decisions, as I am not admin, like you! c:
