some of you may wonder why the submission counters on the front page have changed but the submissions are still closed.
We did a bugfix to these counters. In the past submissions which were marked for a quality control were not displayed in this overview. That is the reason why the counters were going up yesterday.
At the moment we are testing some other things on this system so don't pay attention to it.
we know it was a bit silent around here but people are still working on the problems. It's always hard if you face some huge problems and if the important work can only be done by a few of our longtime admins.
So what is the current situation?
Our devs are finished with the new plugin version and it is been tested in a closed beta. There are still some issues with hl1 server but it works on hl2 / orange box.
As you may noticed we have slipped up the submission system so we can manage our submission sorted by mods. This should help us to get a better overview on the amount of submission and closing/opening the submission for each mod.
We will also enable submission limits for each user and each team. This will benefit good submitters and will help us to filter and control bad or inexperienced submitters.
The important question overall :
When will we reopen submissions?
The answer will be : As soon as the plugin testing is finished and it works without any major bugs. It shouldn't take that long anymore.
greetings and thanks for your patience and support

The Steambans team would like to wish all our friends, submitters, partners and affiliates a merry Christmas and great Happy Holidays.
2009 is coming to an end but the work still remains. steambans.com staff will have a break until 2010 and we will be back with fresh motivation.
Sadly our work on the system/security fix is more difficult than we suspect in the first place.
That why we won't be able to reopen the submission in 2009.
today we are closing the submissions to get us time to recheck on the latest submissions. We got a huge amount of 1.6 submissions which need to be reviewed on a closer look.
Also we have some updates going on which will be added to our system along with changes to our proof requirements.
We try to be back as soon as possible and we thank you all for your support and trust.

The hardware issue with the pluginserver has been resolved, and it is now running again. Due to the backlog of requests, it may be a little slow for a few hours.
Last saturday our pluginserver went down because of a power supply failure. We are currently working on this issue, but still have to wait for the server provider to fix the hardware. Unfortunatly we can't tell for sure how long that will take.

One of the SourceMod developers (Antithasys) working on Sourcebans and many more projects, has created a very nice but handy plugin that a lot of you server administrators probably want on your servers. The plugin called Simple Spectate allows you to spectate a player and follow them through death with a menu and all the information you would need including an automatic sb_status call once you start following a player.
Features:
* Follows a player thru death
* Displays player name and steamid on screen
* Displays ipaddress to admins on screen (Menu/Panel Hud Only)
* Displays kills and deaths on screen (Menu/Panel Hud Only)
* Checks for Steambans availability and if so, uses sb_status
* Admin menu integration
You can find this very handy and free SourceMod based plugin over here.
at the moment we are working hard on our website to implement new systems which will help us to process demos better. These changes were mostly for the staff interface and not visible to the public.
However, there was one change for you. The ban submission was moved from the different team overviews. You will find it under Options now. We marked it "a little" so you won't have problems to find it.
Just choose the team and the submission will be linked to it.
On behalf of sslice (James) and myself we are shutting down Detox anti cheat. The main reason behind this decision is that we no longer have the time or energy to continue this project, especially not with the current amount of anti cheat projects and our own projects to work on.
Instead we want to forward you to Z-Block which will soon have a very nice Public server feature in 4.5: http://zblock.mgamez.eu/
Thank you for your support over the past 2 years in Detox!
ps. we are NOT giving away the sourcecode so pls do not ask about this.
Our primary webserver suffered a hard disk failure, and we were forced to move to a backup server. However, due to the location of this server, the site is acting a lot slower then usual. We are investigating solutions to this, however we do not yet have an ETA for this.
The pluginserver is not effected by this, so you will not experience any lapses in protection.
Last week stammkneipe.de league admin dani asked steambans.com for a third party review of an ESL counterstrike 1.6 ban. The female player sTani was banned after a 5on5 match for the use of a wallhack. As there were some doubts in the german gaming community steambans.com did an independent review of the demos which lead to this ban. During our discussions about this demo steambans.com protestadmins found no conclussive evidence which would lead to a ban.
With this results steambans.com can't agree with the votings of the ESL anticheating team. Informations about our voting which explains our decision in detail were sent to the player sTani.
We agree that anticheating can't be done without making mistakes but we are very irritated how such a demo could pass a second protest review like it did.
After the Lunatic ban this is the second time we have to disagree with the ESL anticheating team. I personally hope this is the last time.
greetings

After one hard week of voting and over 350 submission finished we will reopen the submission for our community.
I want to thank our staff for this outstanding job.
You are all free to submit new demos now and I want to remind all of you to update your server to steambans plugin version 4.0.0,

- short demos will get declined !
- the server side admin esp is turned off while recording
Today we're releasing a new generation of plugins to
the community. It's a complete rewrite of the old plugins

- Auto updater support
- Plugin unload and load-late support
- Loading support with Metamod as well as VSP (Valve Server Plugins)
- Support for Goldsrc AMD64 again
The plugin combines all the engines into one single version 4.0.0 now.
You can find the downloads under "Manage servers" in the menu
on the right side of the page when being logged in.
Additionally the server list on your "Manage servers" was fixed
and will now show you the correct list of servers currently active.
Questions and other comments go in our forums.
Have fun, and thanks for taking part in this great community.
due to a bug with the submission page we are forced to do a planned submission lock.
For the last three month we got a high amount of cs and cz submission coming in so the backlog was growing and growing. While the submission are closed our staff will focus on all old demos and try to solve all discussions.
The downtime will be last for about a week. We are working hard to reopen the subs as soon as possible.
Important Note:
There was a bug in the submission page today so it's possible that demos that were uploaded on 1st March are lost on our system.
If you have submitted a demo today please save it and message me about it.

As we announced a few months ago, we have been working with Tobi from HLstatsX on implementing Steambans detections for HLstatsX premium users. This basically means that besides detecting VAC for a specific player on a HLstatsX server, it will now also recognize if a player is banned by SteamBans and if so, put the player on the cheater list in HLstatsX.
We would like to thank Tobi from HLstatsX.com for his amazing job in making this possible and hope that this will be a good addition for a lot of users from both SteamBans and HLstatsX.
Ofcourse, this has nothing to do with the SteamBans plugin itself, it will only remove the players rank from HLstatsX. If you still want those people blocked aswell you will have to use our SteamBans plugin next to the HLstatsX one.
Expect some more integration features very soon...
As you might know, the SteamBans development team is currently working hard on a brand new plugin for HL1 and HL2 servers, to make things faster, more stable and reliable for the future.
Next to that, Im very proud of the team we had for the past few years and months as they have been working very hard to review the thousands of demo's that are being sent in every week.
And since 2008 is almost over it's time for us to welcome a brand new year with lots of new things to come. SteamBans is still the number 1 anti cheat community for over 9000 Half-Life 1 and 2 servers worldwide and we are proud to be in this position, still after all those years.
You can expect a lot of things to happen from the SteamBans side, as we always strive to continue making our services as good as possible.
The SteamBans team wants to wish everybody happy holidays and a good new year to come! Enjoy!
