That sentence is not meant as an announcement that you will be DDoS'd, but rather as a disclaimer that it has happened in the past and we prefer to inform you of that before you become an admin rather than after. As a staff member, the chance you will be targeted increases from extremely small to very small.

I only got DDoS'd once but that was like a few years ago so, the chances are slim.

The best way to prevent being attacked this way is to not click on links sent by ops. The last time I was DDoS'd, that is how an op got my IP to do it (and yes the op got permbanned for it). These attacks generally do not last very long though. You might be without internet for maybe 5 to 10 minutes.

ok so basically if you don't make yourself a target, then you should be fine
however, if for some reason savnith the degenerate decides you deserve such a stupid fucking punishment then you're kind of fucked

1) if you're not a dick to players you should be fine
2) if you play on a vpn you should be fine
barely any ddos threats any happen according to my knowledge

Even if thats so, I wouldn't click any URLs because I would be wanting to play minecraft more then wasting my time on looking at websites. But thanks in general!  |

This thread doesn't need to continue due to the fact that I already got the answers I need, but you can continue chatting about it. Thank you for giving me info about how often are DDOS attacks!!!
