an Admin unbanning players who's ban time isn't up.

Admin's INGAME name: WHO EVER UNBANNED FERRET STEAM_0:0:14044658
You're INGAME name: Alex_mamaroneck (ibis.a)

How did he/she abuse (See TOS): there was a player, by the name of FERRET, that i had banned for 5000 minutes yesterday ON COSOLE (MA_BAN 5000 "STEAM_0:0:14044658") for disrespecting players and admins. he was banned numerous times BEFORE I BANNED because of it (minor bans). but he kept coming back and donig the same thing, disrespecting players and admins... when i banned him yesterday, someone told me he has more accounts and i said i'll be waiting for that. but i didn't see him after that. then today as soon as i logged on, he was banned for 30mins for prenuking in Atix. i wasn't able to catch his steam. the next 30 mins i saw him again and he was using the SAME STEAM ID (STEAM_0:0:14044658). i banned again....

he never logged on to his other steam accounts... someone was unbanning him and i strongly believe its an abuse to the admin's part. Ferret was banned numorous times for the same reasons and he keeps getting unbanned to do the same shit. i want to know which admin is unbanning him and to request to get his power, to unban, stripped

I have banned him at least once everyday for the past week and he just keeps coming back, he constantly mic spams (which we mute him), disrespects admins, and breaks peoples cades. The only admin I know who is friends with him is nicktendo, I only know theyre friends because yesterday ferret got on and started screaming into his mic so I muted him, then nicktendo joined the server and asked me to unmute him and when I finally said ok he left the server. So it appears that the only reason he joined was to get his buddy unmuted, which right after he left ferret started screaming again and I remuted him.

always use banip.

i'm pretty sure ma-ban only bans their name

ip=ip

Also can't people just use a proxy to get on if you ban their IP address?

[alex_mamaroneck]

always use banip.

I am pretty sure it goes by steam id.

Don't you ban by ip now so you know how to get the ip? The only way I know is to type status into console and find their name on the list.

[maynard]

banip works off of steam ID. you don't need his IP.

[acolyte_to_jippity]

banip takes either a steamID or an ip. banning the steamID's far more effective

[ZERO]

I think you enter their name still if you do ma_ban # playername this could be the issue. BTW I checked and no one unbanned him.

[hallwagner]

ma_ban is a steam id ban

[acolyte_to_jippity]

ma_ban is a steam id ban

it takes a name parameter (or partial name)

[Cal45]

The IP address as well as steam ID comes up when you type ma_users.

[Cal45]

Don't you ban by ip now so you know how to get the ip? The only way I know is to type status into console and find their name on the list.

Banning by an IP is far less effective though because it's too easy to change IP. A ban by steam ID will force them to buy another steam account.

Unless I missed it I didn't see the explanation for the following..


DO NOT USE the Admin menu to do your bans as they do NOT work!

Always use the console commands to do so as they DO work.

You will find that when using the console and the proper commands, the ban (or any other command) will stick vs the admin menu.

GLK :)
