How to ban/unban a player

1) Check the SteamID of the player you need to ensure it is correct. You can easily find out the SteamID of the player - copy the link to their profile and paste it on this website.

2) Open the console in the game panel.

3) Enter the command /banid "SteamID" "reason for the ban" to ban the player.

IMPORTANT

When using the /banid command - enclose the SteamID in quotes.
If you want to ban a player by their nickname instead of SteamID, then enter /ban "Player's Nickname" "reason for the ban".

4) If you want to unban a player, enter the command /unban SteamID, when using this command, you don't need to use quotes.

You can check the list of banned players in the config file of your server at this path: ./server/Server_Name/cfg/bans.cfg

Now you know how to effectively manage players on your server and take the necessary actions. Play together with GODLIKE.
