Is SourceBan Web Abandoned?

Reason I am asking is I am dealing with a ban that is over 2 years old claiming the attempt of crashing servers. The protest system doesn't work it keeps giving error about filling out the form, while it already is filled out.

There is no direct email contact to go on about getting help either. What is even worst is that The last ban ever made was about a year ago to begin with. Looks like SourceBan is dead, or no longer being managed.

To top it all off, servers are still using SourceBan, and I have been stuck playing on my local server since the dawn of time. Every time I do a matchmaking lobby for Coop or Versus I end up with the message: You have been banned...etc.

SourceBan, I hate it. It is bad enough there is only 900 players on Left 4 Dead on average, now I am blocked by any of those that use sourcebans. I was hoping someone can assist on resolving this.

SourceBans is a per-community-hosted system, you'd need to contact the community you're banned by.

Unless you mean http://steambans.com/

Nope, sadly I mean them SourceBans, and I tried doing a protesting, but It wouldn't let me. So I have no idea on how else to get in contact with them.

Well, particularly, anyone that can unban the "Web Ban" executed by the name of Mark. Let me link you the direct ban section:

There seems to be two:

http://attackspeed.com/sb/index.php?...6901013&Submit
http://lessthanzerogaming.org/bans/i...cus101&Submit=

I am slightly confused though, they seem to be separate websites...so I honestly have no idea how sourceban works. What I do know is, I have joined about 5 out of 16 games in coop and versus with a total of 2 only being successful, and thats not alot of games to play. The rest were blocked by sourcebans.

SourceBans is a program that people can install, just like SourceMod, it's used to manage a banlist across all a community's servers.
And just like I (a SourceMod dev) can't unban you from a server using SourceMod, the people that made SourceBans can't do anything about a community that's banned you.

You've been permabanned from two different communities for two different reasons. That alone means that there's no global conspiracy against you.

If the protest system doesn't work, register on that communities forum and lodge an appeal there, or contact their administrator using the forums PM system:

So SouceBans is not a global system? How come I see more and more addresses of servers banning me for the same reasons?

Correct. Each install of SourceBans is completely and 100% separate from any other install.

We cannot answer that. That is something you have to take up with the communities that are banning you. We don't have any control over how they operate or who they ban.

maybe you're confusing with steambans ?

Or maybe the communities you attempt to join subscribe to one of the following global ban systems:

EasyAntiCheat
E-Sports Entertainment
Kigen's Anti-Cheat
