About banning -- AA supports it now. Well, I am not entirely sure what it does but I have a bans.txt file in my config dir.

I wonder what it does. --Lucifer
BAN Bans the specified player from the server (kicks him first) for a variable time in minutes. BAN_IP Bans the spedified IP address from the server for a variable time.
I wonder if there is a 'forever' setting.

Who wants to be my guinea pig? Failing that, maybe we can just get zman to document this for us? :) --Lucifer
It is documented :) I the "Network Play" documentation page, there is a section on kicking/banning. To ban someone forever, just ban him for 10^20 minutes. The docs fail to tell you: the time argument of the BAN commands is given in minutes; in bans.txt it is stored in seconds. (does my sig get added automatically? If not: --Z-Man)
