If, as and when I get round to it, I'll try it again. However, the whole point of us having this plug-in, as with many others obviously, is that it runs on the layer where our Procon is hosted, so is working 24/7 with Procon. Are you now saying that this plug-in will only work if installed onto an end-users local machine that is connected to the layer_____? Meaning whoever is running it locally has to also keep their machine on 24/7 to ensure the plug-in continues to work 24/7? The whole idea of having Procon hosted remotely is to avoid this issue, so it is run centrally, and doesn't require a local machine to connect to run a plug-in surely? I've not read of anyone else having to run this plug-in on a local machine, and they have had theirs running where their procon is hosted. Quote * Restored post.

So... my suggestion may already have been tackled by you in some form or fashion. But... as just an ordinary player that visits lots of servers that appear to be running your votekick/ban plugin, one thing that always bugs me in a busy server is that quite often a vote is progressing and I invariably fail to see which player is targeted for the votekick/ban. Eventually, if I wait long enough and watch EVERY message that comes out of the plugin it will let me know who it is. But.... my suggestion is to include the playername that is the subject of the vote in each/every message that the plugin sends to everyone via chat. Basically, when it says "vote registered" it should instead say "vote registered for/against PlayerX" when it says there are "5 votes yes and 2 votes for no" it should instead say "5 votes for yes and 2 votes for no for PlayerX" Quite often many of us slow old guys aren't sure who the vote is for and often it can occur that people are issuing the votekick playerY command just as someone else is typing votekick playerY. Anyway....... I think I've rambled on long enough. I just think it would be useful if it *ALWAYS* included the playername in the messaging. Take care Quote * Restored post.

There's a limit to ban reason length and your plugin should check for that and truncate the reason to meet that length limit. That should fix the problem.

ImportBot Posted December 13, 2012 Author Share Posted December 13, 2012 Originally Posted by IAF-SDS*: If the "reason field" has more than 80 characters in total, the ban is dropped. Good idea to have the plugin check for that and truncate the reason to meet that length limit. Hope the plugin developer or another can add this fix. As a result of this post, I checked mine and realized it could easily exceed the 80 characters if the player had a long name and if they inputed a long reason, so I cut it down to 51 characters, which leaves 29 extra characters to hopefully cover a long name or player reason. But if someone enters something like this, it will drop the ban: BAN by players' Vote Ban - %player% (Reason: %reason%) = "BAN by players' Vote Ban - TrollingHackersUnite (Reason: TrollingHackersUnite is using an aimbot and intentionally team killing!)" The above hits 129 characters easily, which will be dropped since it's 49 characters over the 80 limit. Even this would cause the ban to be dropped at 97 characters: "BAN by players' Vote Ban - TrollingHackersUnite (Reason: TrollingHackersUnite is using an aimbot)" Quote * Restored post.

ImportBot Posted January 2, 2013 Author Share Posted January 2, 2013 Originally Posted by IAF-SDS*: TimSad, I came across an issue and vulnerability to abuse with Vote Ban yesterday. I talked about this in the Cheat Detector thread as it related to both Cheat Detector and Vote Ban not banning an aimbotter running rampant. Here's the part as it relates to Vote Ban: first, let me thank you for your donation :-) really nice as for voteban or votekick, i have lower percentages needed on my server (for example only 2 players are needed to start a voteban but about 35% are needed to pass that ban), but i guess that depends on a lot of things. i have lower percentages because i want votekick or voteban to be used to kick baserapers and such and i see some players just dont vote, so i lowered the percentages. -grizzly I thought by setting the Start Vote Ban Number to 10 with a Vote Ban Pass Percentage of 70% that this would mean 10 people need to vote (yes or no) and only 7 of those 10 people needed to vote yes to ban. But this interpretation is totally incorrect. Regarding VoteBan settings, I set them in a manner I thought would avoid a group of friends or gang of idiots from coming into the server and banning everyone. But I see major flaws in my settings now, because I misunderstood the settings themselves. With a Start Vote Ban Number set to 10, that actually means 10 different people need to type @voteban Name Reason and only once 10 different people type this @voteban command, then 70% of the total people voting during the set Vote Ban Duration (in minutes) time will have to vote yes. Here's what happened: Code: Tonight, I encountered what all server owners fear with a hacker, and that is one who is blatantly open about his hacking while running rampant without an admin on to stop him. Neither Cheat Detector nor VoteBan stopped him. Aimbotter entered the server at 23:09:11 and I banned him at 23:31:17, which was within a minute of receiving the @admin notification in ProCon because I happened to be working in ProCon at the time. Had I not been there to see this, Im confident this hacker would have emptied out a full 64-slot server (had 62/64 players at the time). VoteBan didn't work with so many people starting votes and even more voting yes. My start Vote Ban number is 10, and my Vote Ban Pass Percentage is 70% which means 10 people are needed to start the vote, but once it starts, only 7 need to vote yes to ban him. (This understanding was wrong.) In just 20 minutes on the server, he reached 114-5. Had he stayed the whole map at this rate, he would have hit 345-15 theoretically, assuming he wouldn't have cleared out the server before reaching such an absurd score.

Thanks for contacting me. xXDeadlystrikeXx BANNED by IAF SDSI just wanted 7 people required to vote yes to be able to ban at any time, regardless of how many are voting or how long the duration lasts, with 10 minimum voting either way. But the settings available in VoteBan don't support this. With this discussion, I see now I should change the Start Vote Ban Number to 1 or 2 people required to type out @voteban player reason. There is confusion amongst the players as to what is required when the plugin incorrectly shows this: admin.yell LeHozay has put in a @voteban request to initiate a Vote Ban on xxdeadlystrikexx! 9 more @yes or @no votes needed to start the vote! 45 This is what added to my own confusion on how it works. Technically, it should say: 9 more players need to execute @voteban PlayerName Reason in chat to start the vote! 1. How about an option in the settings to allow an absolute number of players needed to vote @yes after the first person executes the @voteban (this would make it consistent with the plugin's admin yell shown above)? 2. Without this new option, what should we set the pass percentage to prevent the buddies of a banned hacker coming in and banning the server? With only 1 or 2 people required to type @voteban to start the vote, and at 35% as the Vote Ban Pass Percentage, all it would require for lets say a gang of five to start banning people is two of them to vote yes (if others in the server didn't vote No to stop it and we know most don't bother to vote). Even at 70% as the Vote Ban Pass Percentage, a gang of five would only need four votes to ban innocent people. I'm posting my thoughts about VoteBan to see if you have any suggestions or tweaks you want to perform to VoteBan to prevent the scenario of a gang of troublemakers banning the server.

But if there are only a few players in game and then a gang of players join up then the best thing you could probably do right now is to use that Vote Ban Player Count Threshold and set it to something such as 8 to 10 that way Vote Ban is disabled until that many players are in the server.

Ah yes, I recall now that I did modify this because I was trying to make it easier for the players to know what to do. But I had misunderstood how it worked, and by modifying the language, I made it worse instead of better. Thanks for clarifying this and for your help. Do you see anything wrong if I changed it to this: yell "%1% has put in a %2% request to initiate a Vote Ban on %3%! %4% more players need to TYPE %2% to start the voting process!" all 45 Quote * Restored post.

Are you hosting your ProCon layer somewhere? If yes, you should upload your plugins to your layer server through FTP client like FileZilla... Quote * Restored post.

I just rented the server a very first time as well.... However, to start with can you tell me if you are hosting your ProCon anywhere? If yes who is hosting your Procon? Quote * Restored post.
