I currently grant access to voteban for all my regulars but they keep banning people for 999999 minutes instead of 60 which would be suitable. I was wondering if there's a way to limit the maximum amount of time to 60 minutes?

To allow regular users to voteban other regular users (only) for up to 60 minutes, run this in your console:

Code: [Select]
ulx groupallow user "ulx voteban" "#user 1:60"
If you want them to be able to voteban anyone, switch out "#user" for "*".

Does this work the same if I put it in the groups.txt file?

No. No it does not. We generally shy away from instructing users to edit the data files by hand... too easy to screw them up.

This works gloriously but is there a way to prevent having to do !voteban user 60, Can I set the default to 60?

this would requre a small edit in the utility.lua file in the add-on and add a arg setting to the ban time for the ban command
ps: this is for people who know what they are doing  editing ulx files can result in breaking or errors
,default = 60
