10 Digit Id Keys

[Aussie]

After wasting my time sending PM'S to BIS and forum admins here,I will ask the question. Can someone from BIS confirm that 10 digit ID keys are illegal?

[Wildgoose]

Please could you confirm if 10 digit game Id's are pirated games?

I confirm this (this does not necessary mean all Ids with less than 10 digits are valid, however I cannot provide you more information on this subject).

Where did Suma post this? If this info was made a bit more available we'd ban these guys until they bought the game, doing BIS a favour.

That code could certainly be added to a mission for connecting pirates...

The bananaphone room from Evo comes to mind.

If this method for detecting and blocking 10 digit keys could be sorted that be a huge help.
