Alternately, you could steal some coding from my plugin here: https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=240626

That is Sourcebans 1.4.11, edited to check bans on owner IDs, ban game owner if alt account is banned, check IP for bans with same IP (which would help on your TF2 server), print notifications to server and admins console for each connecting player (listing their ID and the owners ID), log players whose ID doesnt match the owners ID, and ban any alts that they try to ban evade with. As always, you're free to grab any code related to what you're looking for.

But, if you're only wanting the logging piece, go with Dr. McKay's.

See, I'd use that modified SourceBans, except once again, I don't think TF2 is Family Sharing-eligible because it's a Free To Play title.

I may still give it a try though...

Ohhhh, so Premium players are unable to use TF2 in Family Sharing.

TF2 as it stands however is able to be shared. So it's those sneaky F2Ps I've gotta watch out for.

I'm no expert on family sharing, but I find it highly unlikely that family sharing uses a shared sub 0 license.

As I mentioned, the feature that would be most useful for you TF2 server is that it checks IPs for bans. Sourcebans doesn't quite do this by default. Thus, if they get banned on one account, then switch to another, but dont change their IP address, they will be re-banned on the second account. We use this technique on all of our TF2 servers and catch a lot of ban evasions with it.

In the US most cable ISPs don't really rotate IPs unless you force it (which I won't explain in a public forum) or they perform system updates.

Typically, users can have the same IP for months on end, even if they reboot their modems.

that depends on how your isp company configured the dhcp service.

Can you expose ISteamGameServer::RequestUserGroupStatus?
