Accidental ban/How to unban

[ShinoPuppy]

Hey.

 

I am embarassed to say a made a goof a few minutes ago. I was attempting to ban a player over a seriously raunchy porn spray (he'd ignored my last 5 warnings), and thanks to a rather annoying menu glitch (see below), I accidently banned the player one below him on the list. Is there a way for me to reverse this accidental ban or something?

 

Often when I'm navigating the admin menu, it goes one back (8. Previous) or selects option (4.) due to a lag spike (this happens fequently) and I end up selecting the wrong option. This is the first time it's resulted in major damage though. Hopefully I can apologize to him once this is fixed.

 

Help me fix this mistake?

<Aah, crap, the console scrolled too far, can't access the player info. It was the US Office Deathmath server around midnight EDT>

Instead of using the admin menu ..you can always type the name out

 

ie:

 

!ban Jessica 30 "UberBitch"

 

!ban (Commond)

Jessica (Person's Name)

30 (length of ban in minutes)

"UberBitch" (Reason for ban)

+1 on this method. I hate it though when some idiot has a name with all those stupid alt+ letters in it where you have to do status on them and ban by their #.

Oh and to the OP. Make sure you kick him for the spray after he doesn't listen to the warnings. If he comes back without changing, then ban.

How long did u ban him for? You could'nt haved permantly banned him.

Shino, next time grab the info as soon as you make the mistake and post in this forum and a staff member will fix your mistake. (Usually pretty promptly too!)

 

Also, a lot of people seem to be confused as how to ban by ID, so here's a quick little tut:

1. Type status in console

2. Find the person's name. Directly left of that, there will be a # (ex: #715).

3. Now instead of using their name, use that number (including the "#") in your command. (ex: !slay #715)

 

Hope this helps.

thanks all. I didn't know about the !ban method (wasn't in the instructions anyways), gonna try to use that in the future. And for the record, the person I was trying to ban had gotten PLENTY of warnings. Problem was I kicked the wrong person. >_< And selected the longest (1 wk?) option to boot.

 

Definitely gonna be more careful with the admin menu in the future.

 

Oh, one other thing... the sm_ console commands don't seem to work for me. The only one that seems to respond is sm_admin, the rest don't do shit.

This is good to know.
