    Hi, is there a way to use this mod (or please recommend another) that supports banning by STEAMID? I have this ahole "http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198066615499" who has been coming onto my server every few days and telling players to not play on this server. I have added his steam ID to my bans.cfg file in the \cfg folder and he still gets on.

    Rust bans by Steam ID, are you sure he's not using another Steam ID? You could use Enhanced Ban System too, but it likely wouldn't make a difference.

    Hi Wulf - yes I have the correct ban ID.
    Rusty shows me this:
    50.27.108.119:58867/76561198066615499/=]WE[= heiden joined [windows/76561198066615499]
    [Oxide] 11:38 PM [Info] [Notifier v2.10.2] :: =]WE[= heiden joined the server, from United States.
    50.27.108.119:58867/76561198066615499/=]WE[= heiden disconnecting: disconnect

    then I used "steamid.co/" to validate the steam ID and view the profile and check his aliases used. I also then looked at my bans.cfg and added he was listed.

    NOW here is an interesting info. Even though he was listed in the bans.cfg file. I used the banid command in the console and it added him. I tried a 2nd time and it would not add - said he was already banned. so I am thinking my bans.cfg file was corrupt?

    thanks for the info on enhanced ban. I think I am good for now.

    I have noticed players able to do this as well. I added the plugin to block family share accounts and all was fixed.

    If you modified the file while running the server, that would actually explain it as the server wouldn't have loaded any of your changes. You would have had to shutdown the server, modify it, else use the command as you mentioned. The command is the proper way though really.
