issue with bans!
 

Some players are getting banned when they try to join my server but they are not in the banlist, do you guys have any idea where the problem is?

Re: issue with bans!
 

It's because of some people use special chars in their name. Change code in sourcebans main.sp

SQL_SetCharset(DB, "utf8");

=>

SQL_SetCharset(DB, "utf8mb4");

and recompile the plugin, same do with sourcebans comms.

Are you certain the sbpp_main is even loaded and connected to the database?

Also, this belongs in https://forums.alliedmods.net/forumdisplay.php?f=152

sbpp_main is loaded

there are still players requesting for unban but couldnt find their ban anywhere...


Edit: i just noticed that these players are getting banned for 5minutes when ever they try to connect to the server

Thats what i get when i type "listid" via console

console:

and one more thing that these players couldn't join at all even when these 5minutes are expired...

Are there any connection issues? Can you check if they are in the backup database in data/sqlite?
