"[SourceBans] Failed to ban"
 

So a fellow I host a few servers for from my VPS has come to me to ask me about this lovely little issue where SourceBans does not seem to want to get along with sm_addban.

Normally, he uses SourceBans in combination with some form of a "Ban disconnected player" plugin to ban people who bet on things (such as tic-tac-toe) and run when they lose to prevent having to pay up, but if I remember correctly the Ban Disconnected Player plugin(s) he was using did not get along with SourceBans.


Anywho, here's some deets on his server:

SourceMod Version: 1.6, Latest stable snapshot
Metamod Version: Latest stable snapshot
SourceBans Version: "SourceBans" (1.5.0-dev) by GameConnect

Has anyone else had the "failed to ban" issue before? And does anyone know of a way to make SourceBans and a "Ban Disconnected Player" plugin play nice?

Still looking for help on this issue..

We fixed it yay! Turns out it was the 1.5.0 version of SourceBans was not playing nicely with Ban Disconnected Players.

That, and we were using 1.4.11 on the site-side, but 1.5.0 on the server-side so that may have also not helped.

Upon downgrading the server plugin to 1.4.11, everything works as it should! So remember children, make sure your plugin and site versions match or else bad things could happen!
