RE: Subject: [hlds] Timed bans in HLDS
I have noticed similar things. Just a thought, why don't you (valve) add extra value to the ban files saying when the ban was given and I time when it expires, no expiry time = perm ban ? -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of stalker333 Sent: Saturday, 9 July 2005 1:12 p.m. To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: Subject: [hlds] Timed bans in HLDS I've also noticed this, seems it has always been stored in memory. Which is kind-of silly to me as well, it's not like you can't remove the ban from the file when the ban-time has expired. Sometimes I ban people for a day, or week even. With those bans only being held in memory, I currently have to perm ban, then remove it when it's time. Really I'd like to know why it's been done this way for so long?

Re: [hlds] Timed bans in HLDS
On the other hand though.If you want a good script to issue timed bans with and it holds information on why the ban was placed ect you should check out AmxBans 4.0 for amx.I use it on my community and its awesome as far as bans go and seeing what your admins are doing.It also displays a php page showing the offenders steamid and name and a reason why they were banned.If you have admin privledges to that list also,it will show id,ip,name,reason and the admin who banned them.That plugin for amx is simply awesome.If you wish to see a demo of it just visit my webpage and click on "Ban List".

Re: [hlds] Timed bans in HLDS
If you want timed bans to persist, you must avoid restarting the server... I believe there might have also been an addon to a stats program that would propagate timed bans. Not sure about AMX though. Sorry, I don't use 1.6 often, so can't help you much more than that. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi!

[hlds] Timed bans in HLDS
Hi! This is my first post to this list having only eavesdropped up until now, so please bear with me if I go about it the wrong way. I'm one of the admins of a small CS 1.6 (HL1) server park and for some time we've been puzzled as to how certain time-banned players were able to play on our servers before their respective bans expired and using the same SteamID they used when getting banned. Last night I finally decided to try to have a look at what's going on and I noticed that only permanent bans are listed in the banned.cfg file. None of the timed bans were present. I've checked our server logs and all bans are executed as they should be (we're using "banid kick; writeid".) Now, the only logical conclusion I have for the missing presence of any timed bans is that they are stored in memory and automagically disappear, when the server is restarted.
