It already shows the banning admin/punishing admin how long the ban was:

 

You TEMP BANNED somePlayer for 6d23h

 

And it shows the rest of the server:

 

somePlayer was BANNED by someAdmin for reasons [2pts]

 

The rest of the server doesn't see how long the ban is, they don't need that information. It shows the same message for temp bans and permabans too. This is intentional. We ran across this issue since our newer admins are only allowed to ban for 1 hour, and get a higher admin to confirm and extend the ban afterward. When they would ban hackers people would complain that it was only a 1 hour ban, when in reality it wouldn't be.

 

Random people in server don't need to know how long bans are, only that a person was banned for a reason. Both the banned player and the banning admin know how long it was for.

 

Is there a reason you want everyone in the server to see how long the bans were for and not just the issuing admin and banned player?

Yes, I would like to ban all seen time and points, how is it possible to do?

Open a ticket for it, that's a feature I don't have yet.

'Unknown setting when updating faction randomizer restriction'

 

This is a known issue and will be fixed tonight, but it does not affect any of your functionality.

Are there any adverse effects when you have over 300 bans in AdKats? It seems to take longer for people to get in the servers lately but that could be anything.

 

Thanks

I'll need to actually find out all the features I added before starting the docs. Thanks for the offer, i'll get back on that.

Last i checked we have about 28,000 bans in our ban enforcer, haven't seen any issues.

 

You mean people who click join on battlelog are taking longer to load into the server? I don't believe that can be affected by procon or any plugin.

Yes, it seems the time you see %playername% has joined the server in procon and time the player actually show up in-game and as a player in procon has increased by 50 to 100% in the last month or so. I am also seeing more and more players simply not making it in but I see them trying to get in. (I don't see anything strange in logs)

 

Thanks for your quick reply and your great work on AdKats. I am guessing this is just internet/Blaze stuff and we do have a lot of people from all over the world for our Dice Camo and Phantom tags servers.

 

thanks again!

AdKats needs to contact several sites to perform its normal actions. These sites are all noted in the web requests section of the plugin docs, linked below. Contact your layer host to make sure your layer can connect to all of them.

The one specifically for global timestamp is http://www.timeanddate.com/

Ok. That message is just to make sure that your DB and layer are at the proper time differences. You can ignore this message if you don't see any other issues. Cheers.

Remove the spectator slots from all your admins. If anyone is in the spectator slot list, nobody else can spectate.

I don't have more info on this yet, people can have player names with weird characters and spaces in them now, and getting that converted for anti-cheat is a hassle.

Someone talked about blocking certain messages earlier in this thread, but I don't believe they actually said which messages they considered spammy.

 

Please open a ticket at the below link to add an option for hiding the spambot messages in procon chat. There is currently not a way to hide those messages.

In most cases that team wins in the end...

Bit of a noob question, how do I process that query through phpMyAdmin website?
