Description Jenova 2012-08-16 04:21:03 UTC

As it stands, admins who do not have server access cannot permanently ban a player because the banlist will be wiped upon server restart. Likewise, admins cannot ban players from multiple servers at once without manually writing to banlist.txt.

What I propose is that the addban command (and all variations) instantly write the file to the banlist. This makes it easier for players who do not have access to the server to ban players.

I am working on cleaning up the banlist codebase at this moment.  Implementing a banlist is part of this bringup.  Keep an eye on this branch for more details:

This was implemented some time before; 0.6.2 already has persistent ban list.
