    Well basically I was playing on the only zombie server I have good ping in (30-66) so I'm not laggy at all, then it started freezing up and it told be i got kicked from suspicion of hacks or too low ping, now I'm blocked on that server, was wondering if there was a way to fix this? Oh, and the server was [AOE] Argh Monsters

    I think this is related to a bug I just started talking to MM and Geti about, however zombies are not complete/actually released yet so bugs are to be expected.

    It used to be that bans would be cleared when the server restarted (I think), but I know major improvements were made to the ban system. I'll ask Geti to look at this thread and comment.

    There's an autoban for 72mins when "suspected of hacking". I've reduced it to 10mins for next version, if someone's actually caught hacking they can be booted manually.

    Bans are very much not cleared when a server restarts any more fwiw. You can reload the blacklist at runtime with /reloadsecurity

    Additionally MM/Geti might have a bug or less than ideal logic in the hack detection they'll try and improve
