    We ban people and they keep coming back. This should be top priority fix for the developers maybe ? I mean how I can run a nice server if I can't keep out the idiots ? Are other server owners have this issue ? Please report.

    Have you tried using a deny_join seclev? And bans on any game are never 100% accurate, it's just the way they function.

    deny_join doesn't work also, it kicks the player from server but then he can re-join.

    In that case, you just have to be vigilant. There are many ways people can circumvent bans in any game - your part as server owner and/or admin is to make it as difficult as possible for them to do so, by having a vigilant and high quality admin team, and liberal use of seclevs. Also, i've used deny_join for some major griefers, and to date they haven't shown up again.

    Name bans do not work. IP bans do work.

    It's still possible to ban names using seclevs.

    I've had the same issue with permanent bans and I'm not sure what makes this happen.
    People have suggested the permanent ban option is actually a 90 day ban or something.

    Experienced this before, both in classic and beta. First I perma banned in admin menu, then I used RCON. Some month later they were able to join and disappeared from the ban list. Long ago in classic I heard that perma bans are not really permanent, only a few month long, because "permanent bans are a bit too harsh". I think a mod told me that back in classic if I recall correctly.
