If I do not have a website, what to do?

SourceBans doesn't work well without a website. Try getting a website first.. Use your fast DL server, etc.

This plugin works fine in-game, it even puts all the info into the database correctly. Only problem is, when I delete a ban, OR change the timeleft to -1 OR even reduce the ban length via the database, it doesn't change anything or lift the ban. The only way to lift the ban is via in-game (removectban). Is there any way I can get it to work both ways?

Is this happening to anyone else?

There is no reason to be editing the database in realtime any longer ... the reason the changes aren't immediate is because the actual CT ban status is stored via ClientPrefs, which turned into a make-shift native before I knew about natives in SP. As for the times, they're cached locally by the plugin so any changes to them while a player is in game is futile but if you change them when the player isn't in the game then it will update next time they join.

So it would be pointless to make a website-front-end script that lets you unban perma-banned CT's (by deleting the record or moving it elsewhere for history), since you can only do it by typing the cmd whilst in-game?

No, your code just needs to account for it. The database you're looking at is only for logging information. To unban someone you need to hook into wherever your ClientPrefs database is and look for the appropriate cookie_id corresponding to the CT Ban flag. If you show everything in the sm_cookies table you'll see it right away.

Would be nice if there was a list of CT banned player names/steamids/timeleft on ban. Maybe like !ctbanlist or something.

Hey boss, you should add a cvar to change the URL for the ban appeals. It currently sends people to vintagejailbreak's site. The only way to change it is to modify the source atm.

Just a suggestion since not everyone knows how to recompile the source.

Yeah that would be a good idea.
