BanId Whitelist
« on: January 21, 2014, 02:40:11 PM »
I wanted to prevent my admins from banning my superadmins but it seems that you can only allow certain STEAMIDs to be banned which seems rather useless. Not sure why this is a whitelist instead of a blacklist, unless I am missing something.

ULX/Team Ulysses doesn't have a whitelist.
Remove "ulx banid" from the admin group as a work-around.

2nd option - best idea that just irks me when people don't already do this.
If an admin bans someone they aren't supposed to, don't let them be admin any more.
ULX is like a gun, a very powerful tool.
Misuse the tool, administrative teams get hurt.
Remove the weakest link.

I'll just code a group check like the post suggested, but I was hoping that there was something simple I was missing. The whitelist I was talking about is in the attachment.

We break arguments into generic types. The steamid is a string type argument. Whitelisting the strings makes more sense for other commands.

We're considering making a new argument to use for banid to do what you're thinking of doing, but it's not a priority for us at the moment.
