Can we please get the 20 ban max fixed?

I know the reason why they had to, but realy on some servers we do need more than 20 and we can't realy wait untill TS3 comes out.

use tcpquery for bans ?

Well,

the problem is - there is no simple fix for the problem. Most servers should be able to live with the 20 ban limit, in my opinion it says much that the problem with too many bans in the list was only discovered relativly late (meaning that very view server ever hit that limit).
On the Public -1- server (which is probably the biggest server around currently) we manage to get along quite well without often running into the 20 bans limit...
We clean up the banlist regularly, note that if somebody changes his/her IP by reconnecting (to his ISP), you can immediatly delete the old ban (since he no longer has this IP).
For banning somebody with a dynamic IP permanently you can still use netmask bans (i.e. put something like "217.80.*.*" into the banlist).
Keeping all this in mind you shouldn't have big problems with running through the 20 bans limit - and if you really want to ban more than 20 different people at one given moment, then you should probably consider putting a password on your server ;).

I knwo, not a real solution, but what about a firewall ? Here you should be able to ban much more then only 20 IP's

I host a free css ts2 server for my css server(ingame voice sucks) and we get alot of random jerks that play on the server join on there and just act like... well their little kids. anyway, i have hit the 20 player ban on my sever and can't ban anymore. putting a password on the server would be useless because i would just have to put the passwork on the css server so people could join. so i have a good reason to have a higher ban list. why would there be a limit on how many people you can ban anyway?
