Ban the IP address, too. Then you don't see the connect messages anymore. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Steven Sumichrast Sent: Tuesday, April 21, 2009 6:12 AM To: Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list Subject: [hlds_linux] Dealing with "retry" spam
Tonight I banned a user for some language that was against the MOTD. I'm using Sourcebans with Sourcemod and MySQL backend. I know how the ban system for Sourceban works (user connects, we get steam ID, check database, kick if they're banned). The problem is he kept doing retry in console, changing his name to all sorts of nasty stuff. He never got back in, but it caused a headache on the server for a bit until I went and did an IP ban at the console. I guess the question is does anyone have a way to deal with those connect messages and make them not actually print until the user's gotten farther into the game server (preferably once Sourcebans has checked to make sure the user is going to get in or not)? I've done some searching on Google, Sourcebans and Sourcemod forums, but haven't had much luck (mostly because I'm not sure what terms I should search for). I know this isn't a sourcemods help board, but thought some of you have surely dealt with this already. Thanks in advance. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
