PRs that touch the web panel (web/**) are covered by a Contributor
License Agreement; see CLA.md. The CLA bot leaves
one-line sign instructions on your first such PR; you only need to
sign once. Plugin-only PRs (game/addons/sourcemod/**) stay under
GPLv3 and don't need a signature.

Security issues: please open an issue with reproduction details, or
contact a maintainer on Discord if the report needs to be private.

Sponsors

SourceBans++ is built and maintained on volunteer time. If your
community, server network, or hosting business depends on it,
sponsoring development helps keep the panel healthy and funds the
modernization work landing across v2.x.

Sponsor on GitHub

service to third parties:
that use case is reserved by the
