Greetings all...
I had piggy backed this question on a different post a few days ago, but it's been lost in the shuffle so I'm reposting with more details.
I am running a dedicated SRCDS server for CS:S on Windows Server 2003. I am using Mani-Admin as my admin tool. I also have Sourcemod installed to support the CSS-DM plugin.
Here's the problem. I recently had an influx of noobs who were there only to cause trouble, so I perma-banned them. Then, five seconds later, they're right back into the game with the same STEAM ID. I immediately went to the banned_user.cfg file and their STEAM IDs were there. So, I banned their IPs. Same thing. Their IPs show up in the banned_ip.cfg file, but they can still get in.
I even performed a manual ban directly from the console (not via RCON) and still nothing.
I have the following four lines in my server.cfg file and they execute every map change.
writeid
exec banned_user.cfg
writeip
exec banned_ip.cfg
I have found similar references to this dating back to 2005, so I know I'm not the only one this has happened to. Please be kind enough to share any information you might have on this topic.
If you need any additional information to help, I'll gladly provide it.
Thanks in advance!
