Banpools / Crossbanning

note

Banpools and crossbanning is a premium only command currently. For more information about premium take a look at our article about it over here.

What are banpools and crossbanning?​

Banpools are organized groups of servers that share a banning system together. Meaning that if a user is cross-banned in one server they will be banned in all other severs that are connected via banpools.

Let's take a quick example:

  • Alice and Bob are friends, but they often need to ban similar bad people for breaking rules!
  • Alice creates a banpool with the name bad-people-club,
  • Alice creates an invite and invites Bob to join the banpool (the 2 servers are now connected to each other).
  • Bob crossbans a user in his server as he suspects that they will also join Alice's server and cause mischief.
  • The user gets banned in both Bob's and Alice's server, easy and simple, no fuss!

How to use it?​

The process is split up into 2 parts.

  • First you need to create a banpool,
  • Secondly you need to use the banpool ban command crossban.

Let's hop in, and we will guide you through the process, don't worry!

Banpool Create​

First we need to create a new banpool. We do this by using the command /banpool create <pool name>, here you will specify the name of the banpool you want to create.

OBS: These names are globally unique, therefore 2 banpools of the same name can't exist.

BanpoolCreate

Banpool Invite​

Now, we've got our new banpool! But, we want to invite our friends to join it, so we are going to use the command /banpool invite <pool name>, this is will generate a single use invite code for your banpool that expires after 15 minutes. Then they just enter the /banpool join <code> command in their server and you guys are fully linked together. Ready to ban all the bad people!

BanpoolInvite

Banpool Join​

Just enter the code you friend gave you, (or if they were very kind they gave you the entire command to paste!) BanpoolJoin

Crossban​

Now you and the servers that have joined the banpool are fully connected and ready to rock together. Using the banpool ban command /crossban <user> <reason> you are able to ban the user from all the servers that are connected via the banpool. Crossban

Banpool List​

If you wish to view a full list of banpools you are subscribed to/a part of, run the /banpool list command.

Banpool Leave​

If you want leave a banpool, run the /banpool leave <pool name> command, and you'll be removed from it. If you accidentally leave just ask your friend for a new invite, and you will be back again.

Banpool Remove​

As the creator of a banpool you have the ability to run the 2 commands, one being: /banpool remove <serverId>. This removes the server from the banpool.

Banpool Info​

The other banpool creator command we have is /banpool info <pool name> which returns a list of all the data from the banpool and also which servers are connected to the banpool currently.
