Ban Cloud

[-Setro-]

I think it'd be nice if you could make a list of people you want banned from your server on a website, then use an add-on to connect the server to that website. Anyone listed on the website will automatically be banned from your server.
If you have multiple servers, it would work as well, with you being able to use the same website for as many servers as you have.

It would basically work like the cloud add-on zapk made, but for bans.
It should support permanent bans and non-permanent bans, as well as using a BL_ID to associate someone with a ban rather than name.

You literally can't ban someone without their BL ID. I guess you could make a server mod to ban people based on their name if you really wanted though.

uh yeah you can
I'd be surprised if you can't
if it can be done for admin and clearing bricks it can be done for bans

But you're doing it by their name when you do those things. The server gets their BL ID and does it with that.

This can be done easily but it's a little more involved than just admin list
For the admin list it's fine to just manually add entries to the file on the web server, but for this, since you'd (probably) be adding entries much more often, you'd want a script on the server to also take additions to the list.
Also, since it could take a second (or more) to get the ban from the server, you'd have to allow the player into the game, then kick then after you get the ban, or re-request the ban list every few minutes, and cache it

You can ban by IP with add-ons, but that's it
