How to ban a player in GMod

Type banid 0 STEAM_0:1:12345678 kick in the server console to ban that SteamID permanently and kick them, then writeid to save the ban.

banid

Bans a player by user ID or SteamID for a number of minutes; 0 bans permanently.

banid <minutes> <userid|steamid> [kick]

Examples

banid 0 STEAM_0:1:12345678 kick

Permanent ban and kick.

banid 60 5 kick

One hour ban for user ID 5.

Arguments

minutesRequired: Ban length in minutes, 0 for permanent.
userid|steamidRequired: User ID from status, or SteamID.
kickOptional: Also kick the player now.

What it does

Adds the SteamID to the ban list. Add kick at the end to also remove the player right away. Run writeid afterwards, or permanent bans are lost on restart.

The game's own description: Add a user ID to the ban list.

Good to know

Make sure server.cfg runs exec banned_user.cfg so saved bans load on start.

Run it on your server

On a SLASHPLAY server, type it in the Console tab of the server page; the reply shows right under it. A value set there lasts until the server restarts. To keep it, add the line to garrysmod/cfg/server.cfg. New to this? Start a GMod server first.
