What if you wanted to remove a ban from the banned.cfg, and only had rcon access to the server? You wouldn't be able to do this if writeid behaved the way you would like it to. Also, I see no benefit of extra blank lines at the end of any file.

I still think it's pretty lame though. A writeid should do just that; write the bans in memory to the file. If there are no bans, then nothing should be written to the file! At most it should do an append, not a complete overwrite, and you get a couple blank lines at the end of the file. Elminst -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
