Veterans Only
(veterans)
v1.3
Introduction/Features:
Sale after sale we have more cheaters in the servers and more accounts dedicated to cheating. And Valve's VAC system is not very helpful with its two weeks ban-waves strategy when it comes to cheap or F2P games. In these circumstances, if you have a community of experienced users who hate cheaters you can use this plugin to prevent joining of the inexperienced players including cheaters and players with new accounts.
- Kick players based on their TF2 or CSGO prime status
- Kick players based on their Playtime
- Kick players based on their playtime minus their last 2 weeks activities: Useful when dealing with those players that leave their game open for some days to gain some playtime
- Banning players: Instead of kicking players, you can ban them for a short time. Very useful to prevent an attack against your server
- Check against another game: It is possible to let the players join to your CSGO server if they are already experienced in CSS (or any other Steam game)
- Exclude all privileged users or only ones with reserved slot
- Exclude CSGO and TF2 prime users
