To clarify on this, the issue is that there is a bug in BYOND that causes ghost sticky bans. It’s extremely rare (to the point where I thought it wasn’t even relevant anymore) and has to date only impacted 2 people here and 3 people at TG (that I know of).
I have tried to work with MSO and Lummox to resolve this, but we haven’t been able to make a lot of progress due to the nature of the issue itself. Disabling the sticky ban system entirely might resolve the issue, but sadly we rely on it to detect ban evasion.
I’ve reached back out to Lummox for support, but I can’t guarantee a solution at this time. It’s super frustrating but I’m sadly unable to actually do anything to resolve this myself…
