After looking at the script and doing more tests, I was able to reproduce the "issue", and I can conclude this report is yet another case of someone who does not understand how the autobalance works. Your screenshot doesn't really prove anything. Because you're using the F5 scoreboard to look at players but you dont know if they're actually spawned. You say there's 5 players on the red team but they're not all spawned.

The autobalance system only takes spawned players into account. You should have used the /splayers cmd to get the number of spawned players of each team.

If I change the system to count unspawned players aswell, then every time some idiot looks at the F5 scoreboard, it will look balanced, but in reality, it won't be balanced at all. Because some players are just AFK on the spawnscreen or are just spectating.

Players who claim there is a bug are usually either:

- Using the F5 scoreboard to compare the number of players in each team (which doesn't show if players are spawned)
- Or think the server will assign already spawned players to a different team when players leave the server


Not sure how many more times I have to explain this to people...

I asked Halchter to reply here too because he had already replied about this before this post was made, it just wasn't public, he replied in the staff section of the forum, where he said that sometimes he gets carried away and doesn't pay attention to the chat and he apologized for it. He apologized before this report was made. So I don't think there's more that needs to be said here from either side. I'm not going to take any action seeing as me and other staff members dont think this was something he did on purpose and he apologized already anyway. Thanks for the report but with that said, everything has been resolved, so I'm going to close the report.

It seems that when we moved servers, something was misconfigured which caused some very weird issues.

It's been corrected now. Give it another try.

Your IP is dynamic and keeps changing every few weeks, this is not a problem but unfortunately for you, alot of the IP's your ISP is assigning to you, are already flagged as malicious IPs in alot of IP databases which is why the server keeps blocking you.

I've whitelisted a few more IPs in the ranges that your ISP is assigning to you. Give it another try now and see if it happens again.

It might happen again if your ISP assigns you a different IP that's already flagged as malicious. If it happens again, reply here so I can whitelist more or pm a staff member on IRC, they can do that too.

Ok check it again

It's usual for IP location not to be 100% precise, however it's usually not as imprecise as to show a completely different country. I've looked into this and it seems like this a new batch of IPs coming from Pakistani ISP's is not yet updated on the GeoIP DB we're using.

Mohib please try again, I've eased up the restrictions on some of your IP ranges. Let me know if it works.

Ah well we dont allow VPNs. Stop using the VPN and you'll be able to join

Try joining again and see if it still happens. PM me on discord if it happens.
