I played for a while with some UG players, and briggs... they later left and Briggs stayed. Map changed to lostarena, we played for another while, briggs left and I was with some gotg player (can't remember right now), and with joule.
Suddenly ...."added to banned list"
Can anyone unban me please?

Actually, I've thought about it. Do you have any rcon commands bound to a key? You might've hit that and inadvertently banned yourself.

Someone unban this guy before it's too late! D:

no joule =( I don't have those kind of commands among my binds.... someone must have done it from outside the server.
Gas_mask said it could have been my ping, but I played 3 maps so I doubt it was that... can you help me in this one WT? ;)

rcon spamming usually only bans you until the server is reset. It's not a permanent thing. I doubt you find their steamids in the cfg files.

Yeah ban files are empty. I restarted the server, please try again and let me know. I have seen one server that said I was banned once when I really wasn't, so maybe there is some bug somewhere??? If you have a spare account from nvidia offer etc. you may want to try a different ID and see what happens also.

Don't put rcon passwords in your configs if you have them. Various anti cheat systems a server mods will download you config and they may be able to see your rcon password. A server may even have some sort of stats system that would post it on the web for all to see.

He's right here. You can look at different things via a plugin. If you have any cfg files or binds that have your rcon password, I would remove them.

Just to be safe.

Can you be banned for using the rcon many times? This is not the case but, just to make sure I don't abuse it somewhere else D:

D: , that shouldn't be possible >(
Luckily I don't have any of those kind of binds....
What if I have a personal config apart with those binds....can those be seen too?

The anti-cheat plugins, I believe, can detect when you use the exec command. Then they can read those files.

I remember reading some things about this at one point, because I was going to do some anti-cheat things. But I never got into it. But I think as long as you are trying to read and not write, VALVe doesn't have an issue with it.

He'd prolly have to look at the log files (if it's even logging) to see what you did.
