RSC and IP range ban

Okay now

EDIT:
Maybe the / sign dividing the different nicks was making problems as well as flash signs are used in code..

So just to summarize:

admins should NOT use the manual IP range ban function in RSC but sent a message to Snowman / BetterYouThanMe to ask the IP range to be added to the server text file? And same goes for unbanning an IP range? Is this correct or did you fix more Steff?

BTW it's great we have this function again! But all admins should be aware that banning common ranges could also include fair players, so we have to be precise with it.

Edit: about the / sign, I had this trouble already before I made that / entry. Only error message I got was when I defined a range divided by the - on the main keyboard while you should use the - on the numpad.

i have banned two players on Windows firewall which works as well. That's how i did it in the past.
Did not fix anything, that's Jonny's job..

Alternatively i could make the ip range text file available via FTP. So you could download, make your changes and upload it again. But with admins working on it at the same time could make some problems..

I think it's probably better to keep it away from normal admins like me, it could get messy and IP range banning won't happen that often. It is also good to keep control over it so nobody starts banning ranges at random.

Hmm, I still see this guy chips playing so it don't seem to always work...and his IP is in the range 1.196.0.0 - 1.196.255.255, can you try to ban him in firewall?

he was listed twice maybe that's why it did not work..
Just to make sure the IP range is banned now via Firewall too.
