The Remove ban by username button fails in the AdminTool

[jjduran]

Hello,

We're running the latest version of SFS (1.6.7) on our server. I'm running version 1.4.0 of the Remote Administration tool (AdminTool.swf).

We recently attempted to use the "Remove" button within the Ban Manager tab to remove banned users by username from our banned user list. After removing the user, when you return to the Ban Manager tab again the user name reappears in the list. It seems impossible to unban a user once they are in the list. (NOTE: this issue does not occur when removing bans by IP, that seems to be working just fine).

The only way I have found to successfully remove bans is to delete the bannedUsers.sfs file on the server-side.

Has anyone else experienced this issue? Thanks for your help.

I was able to quickly reproduce the issue. It's likely to be a server side bug. It was added to the bug database.
Thanks for you report.

Great, I look forward to your response about this issue.

I'm also waiting to hear details regarding the severe issue I emailed involving the destruction of static rooms that should never be destroyed. We're still experiencing that problem, although my workaround is holding strong for the time-being.

Do I need to restart the server after deleting bannedUsers.sfs? The banned username still seems to show up on the ban manager.

If you want to remove all banned user data you have to proceed as follows:

1- stop the server
2- delete the bannedUsers.sfs file
3- start the server
