Hopefully I've made it so they can't actually enter the BZ more than once in a row. I'd like to do horrible nasty things to them, but I'll wait for Professor to pass fair judgement upon them.

so im guessing creating lag to exploit a crappy server would be braking one of the above...

Flip Side, it is not a crappy server. The server is fine, or at least, it is not cheap (about $80 per month in cost) and it is hosted by one of the more reliable hosting services. There are some problems, which might be fixed by a major cleanup of the database, but I want to do some testing first so we don't take the game down for an extended period of time by accident.

Yes, there are problems, but it does not help when people take actions to try and crash the server. That ruins the game for many others, and they will be banned if their actions are repeated and take down the server again on purpose.

I do not know what you were trying to do, but what you did do was harmful.

To avoid this harm, Iiridayn has suggested that anyone causing rapid and repeated BZ entry be blocked from using BZ for 30 days. I agree with this recommendation as being an appropriate corrective action which will both increase awareness of the harm caused and prevent future problems of this nature.

Therefore, later today, Iiridayn will implement the code to block battlezone entry for the three players within the past week or so who have caused problems by repeated BZ entry with the same ship in rapid parallel actions. This block will be removed in 30 days.

No other actions will be taken. This is enough to raise awareness and make the point.

for the record, when i did it (and i only did it once) there was no real activity going on, and i didn't keep doing it. and is it ok if i use the same thing to take down shield walls. cuz otherwise it'll take me like 20 sec to destroy one ship.
