[hlds] Vote kicking admin

Game CSGo Steam desktop My problem is that every time my server is about to be full a couple of "not so good people" come on and start vote kicking people and kicking me while I have full admin access. Is there a plugin for this solution? I have sv allow votes turned off until I find a solution

Sorry, I meant properly using the engines built in ban system for failed login attempts. On our servers I think we allow 5 failed attempts before we IP ban for an hour. On 1/23/2015 11:20 PM, Korrey Moore wrote: > RCON is fine if used properly, like issuing IP bans for failed attempts etc.

That's good for you, but some communities need it. RCON is fine if used properly, like issuing IP bans for failed attempts etc. In CS:GO sv_allowdownload and sv_allowupload can be set to 0 anyway to fix any download exploits since it doesn't support sprays and you should be used workshop/fastd

Sourcemods RCON has limitations. Try getting a full status output with sm_rcon, or anything that returns a lot of information. External plugins or logging tools(HLStats, GameME, Sourcebans) also require RCON. On 1/23/2015 4:14 PM, Weasels Lair wrote: I don't understand why people even enable R
