Someone told me that after a servers IP change or server restart all bans are lifted D: is this true?\

EDIT
And how could i make sure someone is banned for good? without a database

Have you written following in server config.cfg

exec banned_user.cfg
exec banned_ip.cfg

Remember, too, and check the files is located on the server

But doesnt the banned_user erase after a map change or server reboot?

It means that the file is empty.

Your server.cfg needs to contain this somewhere, in this order:

exec banned_user.cfg
exec banned_ip.cfg
writeid
writeip

Any temporary bans will be cleared when the server restarts, but permanent bans will be retained. To save temporary bans, you need something like SourceBans.

I dont have sourcebans because i cant get a database if my life depended on it but i am using This to save temporary bans,
and i have the code:

exec banned_user.cfg
exec banned_ip.cfg
writeid
writeip

in the exact order in my server.cfg

You should be good to go then.

I had all of those in my server.cfg and it didn't work. Then I left

writeid
writeip

in my server.cfg and put

exec banned_user.cfg
exec banned_ip.cfg

in my autoexec.cfg. Then it started working. I guess it's got something to do with the code or that autoexec is used only when server restarts and server.cfg in every map change.. not sure. You should try this but if it doesn't work you could try to contact bacardi or get that sourcebans.

Always execute bans first.
Then write them.
Right order or else it will create blank file everytime when you reboot server.

*I have suggest exec perm bans just once when server launch from autoexec.cfg
Just for that reason that ban plugins not need read 10,000 perm bans lines every map change.
