In light of the recent WoM updates, i'm under the assumption that it also checks for the WoM version that we're on so that the transfer of files can be made properly.

In addition to this, hacking is only possible when you're on a more outdated WoM client. Therein, would it be possible to add in a warning to all staff members when a person on an outdated WoM client logs in, similarly to how it reports a high warn level and, when the staff logs in, informs them of everyone who is on an outdated WoM client.

Obviously, this list would exclude any form of Op+ members, so people like Catgirl12466 don't get flak for outdated clients.

This is mostly limited to staff usage and probably for destroyerx1's coding ability only. Not sure. Anyways, I asked in staff chat and it was an all-round agreement that it'd be useful.

This sounds like a really good idea. People already send "/womid WoM-<WoM version>" when they log in from a WoM client, so the server should already have access to the data. Being able to see this from /who would also be a useful check if we're investigating a player for hacking

Lolnope, I use old WoM as well! Have not needed to update x) I only ever play TNT so its hacks on or hacks off :p

On the other hand, this is a great idea and I think it would benefit all of us. Sometimes it can be hard to distinguish between wom and lag so...
(Possible reference to me)

...Why hasn't anyone thought of this before? It's an excellent idea. An auto-kick on an outdated client's login would also be useful, coupled with a message telling the user to update.
