I just joined the server, I got disconected, then when I try to come back it says im banned  I don't know what could have happenedEDIT: BluePhoenix and I were talking, and just when I joined, a man got banned due to his clan tags. When I went to check to options, I saw that my clan tags weren't there (deleted). I played in two modded servers before (ninja xp and SnR server) ------------------

Ah this is an interesting one......... .... so we have protections to not have racist names as player names or clan tags. These are evaluated at three distinct times. 1. When the player joins the server 2. When a player joins a team of a game (in case they change the clan tag after joining server) 3. When the player kills/dies or text chats (in case they change clan tag during the game) In this case: [NI**]CrypticArtz joined the server in slot 14 and due to #1 he got banned. The ban does these steps: A. rcon status to log file to capture IP address B. PERM BAN MESSAGE on screen C. actual rcon ban of player's slot is performed (we do slot number and not name since characters used can be problematic for rcon command). D. The server finally recognizes the ban command and removes the player. Now the sequence was initiated for the server join #1. But then while A B C above were being processed the Join Team #2 event occurred triggering a whole new redundant set of ABCD. #1.D then occurred after the #2 join team event so that player got booted from slot #14. Sam fisher joined the server at precisely that time (must have been waiting to get in) and before he could register his own #1 join event the prior redundant #2 A B C D completed and perm banned him since he was in slot #14 which was in the process of being banned. So I think it would be safe to ignore the #2 join team event and that would fix this issue. Or at least lessen it by 1000x. Anyway, you are unbanned Sam..... You were just joining at exactly the wrong time Last edit by BitterSpock at 2017-09-07 at 12:20 AM (3x Edited) |

Thank you Bitter! Just to add more information to the situation: Yes, the server was full, so I was trying to join without success, also the server was with only 34 players of size. That's when I asked to the present admins if they could write "!public". Interesting case! ------------------
