sv_kickBanTime.
I was curious if anyone has been successful in getting this cvar to work correctly.
I was also curious to its exact usage. I assumed that it was to control the amount of time a player was "kicked" from the server.
I have added the line to our server cfg file
set sv_kickBanTime "180"
with the hopes of keeping the offending client off the server for 3 minutes. But they are able to return instantly.
Any ideas what I am missing here?
The other issue I am curious about....is it possible to allow voting but limiting what the clients can vote on? ie rotating to the next map is fine but being able to choose a diff map altogether is not.
Ideas?

Thanks

hum i dont know how your kicking em but i got a feeling your doing it the wrong way...
to make tings happen u need to set sv_kickBanTime "180" in your master cfg
and reboot your server !
now when you want to tempban someone use these commands:

/tempBanUser [name]
Kicks and temporarily bans player by name from server.

/tempBanClient [id]
Kicks and temporarily bans player by client id from server

and bout the voting well from what i know u cant limit the options (correct me if im wrong )

hope this helps

Thanks for the info. I found out that the timelimit worked when using the Call Vote menu process. In other words...I did figure out that it only worked with the tempban command and not the kick command as you state. Thanks for reminding me that the server has to be rebooted for the cvar change to take affect. I am still trying to figure out how to limit what the clients can vote on...there must be away to do this...I will continue my search.
Thanks again for your response.
