Thanks for the replies. My assumption was that it expired when the map changed but I wasn't able to find clear proof of this in my logs (the banned players mostly gave up trying to reconnect for at least a day). So it seems that the "banned for 5 minutes" message is a lie (just like the cake). Is this true?
