It appears that when I ban a player AFTER he has left the server, when he tries to rejoin, it says he is banned and for how long but it doesn't tell him WHY he was banned. Is there anyway I can fix this? For example, I see in the logs (which I check every morning) that overnight a player spammed 20 votebans. I ban him for 2 days. When he tries to rejoin the server he has no idea why he was banned and so comes back in 2 days and repeats the behavior. Thanks for any help!

The Source engine is responsible for kicking banned players and we have no control over it, sorry.

It writes it to the default "banned_users.cfg", which again is not controlled by ULX, but Source engine itself. So I don't think there's any workaround for it.
