Default The new global banlist is now up!

It took me a few days, but the banlist is now up and operational.

To see how to update the current banlist or install the plugin altogether, read here: http://bans.beardchewer.com/index.php?topic=14.0

Discussing the list, reporting players, and disputing bans is all done here: http://bans.beardchewer.com

We're still looking for admins, you can read about it in the Discussion forum.

Any chance you can add bans by IP? This would have to be reserved for special cases (i.e., documented intentional griefing involving multiple SteamIDs, but originating from a common IP). These would require a mandatory expiration (1-2 weeks) so if a legit player picks up the address via DHCP, he won't be subject to an unfair ban. This would purely act as a countermeasure against grief-a-thon's by people with mutiple stolen SteamIDs. You could also cross-check the IPs against the list that I 've been compiling.

I'm not sure, I'll need to ask devicenull. I have the database setup to accept IPs, but I'm not sure if the plugin will accept them (from what I've seen, its IDs only).

EDIT: I've looked into it a bit, and it doesn't seem like banning IPs is supported.

IP is less reliable then steam ID.

The old banlist allowed us to browse the list... Is this going to be a feature of the new banlist at any point in time? I can see pro's and cons either way.

Sure, I just didn't even think of it. I'll get something like that up soon.

EDIT: I haven't put up a way to browse the list, but you can now lookup entries if you have a SteamID. It's in the top-right.

Agreed, with the sole exception being individuals who have access to multiple steam accts and thus cannot be banned easily using SteamID. The exception is rare, but significant.

No it's not, because it's just about as easy to skip an IP through proxy as it is to look up a separate steam ID and sign in with the other account. Strictly put it's basically impossible to permanently ban an actual person from your internet access point, steam ID is the most reliable system I've seen used though.

I can probably add that to the next version of the plugin.. the next version is going to be very different (No on-disk cache of banned steamids, instead, each person is checked on join)

Basically the next version moves most of the work to the web server.
