I know that's an option, but sourcebans' plugin just handles that automatically -- it grabs the IP and steam id and puts it in the mysql database. When users connect sourcebans does the checking, not the srcds engine itself. Therein lies the problem.
Having to ban everyone a second time through the engine to prevent the messages seems like... well like that shouldn't be, haha. Seems like I should have a way to either suppress the connect message for another 10 seconds if the connection continues, or.. Anybody else?
