Declined Auto read VAC bans to source list.

I reported a guy yesterday that had been VAC'd by the time I had the demo ready. I checked the ban list first thinking he was probably already there, but wasn't so I submitted the report.

It could save a lot of time if there's a way to simply read a VAC occurrence from the console automatically and add it. Since you also IP ban, whoever it was would need to be dynamic/proxy to get back on using another account.

Our servers are already VAC protected. If someone joins that means they weren't vac banned before they joined, or they are vac banned in a different game.

That's not what I mean. I'm talking about VAC bans that actually happen in-game. When I checked the source ban list this guy wasn't actually on it. I thought he would have been added automatically but I had to report him.

As I said this would then add the IP ban since SMAC had obviously missed them. Unless this is done but on a delay or something?

Thing is, can we actually trust VAC bans? Innocent people do get VAC'd.

SMAC can also cause false positives and has in the past. I would assume that SMAC is probably more false positive prone than VAC given SMAC also looks for certain behaviors (like the aimbot detector looking for players snapping around all over the place and getting in tons of kills in a extremely short amount of time) but even so the false positives for both of them are very rare

There is no way to do this except to spam the steam website every second for each player which will get you IP banned.

And even then there's no way to tell which game the VAC is for.

I know this has been declined, but for the record I don't think anyone properly understood what I meant.

1 - player joins a skial server
2 - they are caught by VAC and removed from same server
3 - SMAC/admin didn't catch them though
4 - console sees VAC ban and server has players IP logged
5 - player can just come back on a sock account
6 - automatically turning VACS from console into IP bans will stop them, if they're on static IP.
7 - If they disconnect at the same time the VAC is read then it had to be for TF2

Just to clear it up.
