Well this topic has probably been brought up but i would like to know a solution. Someone of server 108.61.46.59:27015 Ctf_2fort a person named Angry_Worms (http://steamcommunity.com/id/angry_worms) posted a link in chat that actually bans you from the server. I would really appreciate a admin help to resolve the problem. Also any admin who needs proof, I have this copied into a document and willing to send it if this helps the with further situations. http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=10nyoad&s=5 (just a quick upload) This is what shows up when I try to join.

This is what happens..
Just a random 2fort night people killing people and I kill this person named angry_worms
After about 20 seconds he posts a link called (NOT RECOMMENCED TO CLICK LINK) http:// gyazo.org/MTA4LjYxLjQ2LjU5OjI3MDE1
My curiosity made me copy and paste it and low and behold it bans me
Found some history of him posting it http://stats.skial.com/stats/hlstats.php?mode=chathistory&player=855587 he spammed it a few times..
I found a old post he made on the same subject http://www.skial.com/threads/a-link-that-can-ban-you-on-skial-2fort-ny-108-61-46-59-27015.40787/#post-460

That was resolved by the server owner rebooting the server, not something that most admins can do.

Angry_worms should be banned.


I feel the same! But sadly you cant not be banned for being obnoxious. I would feel like this is a phishing link but it doesn't take any info on your account, from what I know of.

I just went to the server, I found the website that he was putting in chat. I pasted it into Firefox and opened it, I also opened it in the built-in browser in TF2. Neither one of those banned me from the server.

Odd when I did it i was on the server when i pasted it onto Google Chrome browser. Maybe need to be on the server before entering the site?

I was in the server.


Well I don't know what to really say. When I went to SourceBans it did not show me being banned, though it kicked me off the server saying you were banned. I restarted tf2 TWICE and when i reconnect it says, "Connection failed after 4 retries".

I figured out how he did it, and I will be notifying Valve and fixing it soon.

And yes the link really does ban you for a single server.
