OK So you have found an annoying bot. How do you go about blocking that bot, if captcha does not work?

<?php
$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
//ecample ip of the bot
$blockip = 0.0.0.0

The variable, in this example the price of a certain good, that the player bought from an another player, is checked for abnormalities. We want to know, if the price is a low extreme or a high extreme. If the variable is a low extreme, then it is likely that the player who bought the resources of the other player is trying to...

Code:

/*START PRICE CHEATERS CHECK*/
$tabcoresult = mysql_query("SELECT COUNT(*) AS pricescount FROM taberna WHERE shoptype ='$shoptype'");
$tabcorow = mysql_fetch_array(tabcoresult);
$shopscocheck = $tabcorow[pricescount];
