Bans will not stick.

<< < (2/4) > >>

Darksoul:
Does it require the quotation marks ("") because if not its been on there for a while already. I'm going to try reinstalling.

MrPresident:
however all of the other things are listed. for MY host it requires the quotes.. but its different for some people.

If that is already there.. then I really dont know. The only other thing I can think of is this...

If you use HLSW to ban people with the ban tab.. DONT

Sometime it will overwrite your banned_user.cfg file and you'll lose all of your bans. Try to strictly use ULX to ban. it's the safest way to do it.

Darksoul:
Neither option worked. Reinstall or quotation marks.

banned_user.cfg format:

banid 0 STEAMID

any other ideas?.

I'm going to say its either DarkRP, ULX, or something just not working right.

Would reinstalling ULX or getting the SVN ULX fix this?.

Reinstall of what, gmod?
As for quotation marks, they should be just like the other settings in your server.cfg

You were having the problem _before_ you installed ULX according to your Facepunch forum thread.
In fact many ULX versions ago we noticed that Garry didn't put the required 'load banlist' (exec banned_users.cfg) commands in server.cfg, and we were getting (false) blame for clearing the ban list when ULX was banned. We worked around that by loading the ban list at ULX startup.
To me, that rules out ULX. No, SVN won't fix your issue. Fixes several other quirks and oddities, but none related to the exploitation of a server.
If that were the case, we would have released a new update long before now.

As for other ideas; Sorry, I personally have no exact 'this is it' at this point.
Possibilities.
DarkRP (have you tried running just a plain build server/Sandbox?)
Lua Exploit (Difficult to find... running a build server from a straight brand spanking new no addons added Gmod server install would be the only way to truly test)
I saw you mention kickid somewhere, are you also using 'banid' and 'writeid' after kicking them? (Kickid doesn't ban I'm pretty sure)
Someone may have your rcon pass and they unban themselves?
Another admin on the inside unbanning others?
(A) Version(s?) of DarkRP (I don't remember which) would allow someone who wasn't an admin to use admin commands through someone who was an admin.
After banning someone, does the STEAMid of the player you just banned and kicked appear in 'listid'.
If it does, and they get in, you have a problem with Gmod server code, or a dll/binary plugin that avoids the ban portion of the server engine.

Darksoul:
The gmod server. I reinstalled it and the problem is still there.

listid shows the bans. They are written to the banned_users.cfg. banning is not the issue. They seem to be able to slip right through steamid validation (says validated on banned people)

The only other thing off the top of my head I can think of is that I use fastdl...
