What is SourceBans?
Submitted by Viper on Thu, 08/13/2009 - 14:20SourceBans is a free global administration and banning system for Source engine based servers.
When running SourceBans web interface and the SourceMod plugin together, you will be able to instantly ban people from all of the servers you have added into the system. Once you either ban a player from the server, or though the web interface, the specified player will instantly be banned across all of your communities` servers. You will no longer need to add the STEAM Id's of users to all of your servers` config files, and keep the configs synced and updated after each ban.

gameME adds Sourcebans support
Submitted by Viper on Wed, 06/29/2011 - 09:13gameME Stats, the global ranking and statistics system for HL1 and HL2 based games can now synchronize player bans from SourceBans automatically and integrate these into gameME Stats. Banned players will be hidden from the ranking, listed on the banlist and marked on gameME Stats webpages.
Every account is sychronized once a day and only permanent bans are integrated. If a player is unbanned, this is recognized as well and unbanned players are not hidden anymore from the ranking and displayed normally on the webpages again.
Player bans imported to a gameME Stats account are not transfered to other gameME Stats accounts. Also, the bans won't be added to the gameME VAC banlist.
To active gameME Stats SourceBans sychronisation it is only required for gameME owners to setup the option "Sourcebans URL" within the account options to point to your SourceBans webpage. The bans will be sychronized automatically within one day.
The team has also integrated support for SourceTV enabled gameservers now.
More information on gameME can be found on www.gameme.com
