Detailed description:

Reduce /login Timeout to 30 Seconds to Prevent AFK Lobby Blocking​

Currently, the PikaNetwork console gives players several minutes to log in when they join the lobby. While they are on the /login screen, the console continuously prompts them in chat to type /login <password>. It takes about 3 to 5 minutes before the system finally kicks them for being AFK.​

​

The developers need to lower this timeout limit to a maximum of 30 seconds.​

​

Right now, players are abusing this long window to grief others. They rename their launcher to match the username of a player they want to target, join the server, and just sit AFK on the login screen. By refusing to log in, they block the actual owner from joining. As soon as they finally get kicked, they immediately rejoin and repeat the process, keeping the target locked out of the server indefinitely. Lowering the login threshold to 30 seconds would make this griefing method incredibly tedious and much harder to maintain.​

Reason(s):

Prevents trolls from locking real players out of their accounts.​

​

Developers only need to change one number in the config file. It takes 5 seconds to do.​

​

30 seconds is more than enough time for any real player to type their password.​
