Suggestion TS Flooding - Occupying Servers

[heavybob]

Anyone tried messing with teamspeak clients to achieve a complete server takeover by client occupation?
Antiflood checks client unique ids to determine the threshold limit then checks ips on the client to determine the overhanging limit.
If a server doesn't have reserve slots working correctly, empty ts servers could be taken over by bots preventing players from connecting.
Why hasn't anyone tried this yet?

Because the effort is not really worth it (to my eyes). A serverquery can kick those. And then you ban the ip.

Most server owners who buy ts don't have access to serverquery. Hosting groups generally don't allow server query.

I have tried that. Doesn't really work if the server admin knows how to use server queries because those dont count as clients. Bans all of them and server is free again.

A lot of people aren't smart and overall this would be a great project to work on tbh
