Permabans are being removed

[DarthTealc]

I'm a Lead Administrator of an Australian Gmod community. We run a few servers, with TTT being the primary one.
All permabans are being removed on each map change. I try re-adding them to the ban file but on the next map it removes them. Even issuing a fresh permaban for a single user in-game gets wiped on map change. And nothing appears in the server log or ULX log to indicate why this is happening.

Is this an issue other people are having?
If so, how are you managing permabanned users? Do you have a temporary fix?
If not, any idea as to why it may be happening on our server?

Any help would be much appreciated!

Just to build on this, the ban is getting stored in banned_user.cfg but isn't saving correctly in ulib.

I've recreated it and made a screenshot.



To make sure it was nothing on our end, I removed all custom addons (exluding ulib and ulx ofc) and did the test in sandbox.

Fixed in latest push. Just as a reassurance -- the bans were being dropped from the ULib bans file, but they were still saved on the server ban list. The cause was from a typo when changing all our function calls to garry's new APIs.

EDIT: iSnipeu beat me to the punch between the time I started working on this and replied.

Thank you very much, I'll upload the latest version shortly if iSnipeu hasn't beaten me to it
