SmacBans: Block

SmacBans: Block is a plugin designed to keep cheaters who have been detected by SMAC away from your server.
Smacbans.com provides a global banlist where caught cheaters are stored, this plugin will check every player against this list.
If they were found in this list they immediately will be thrown out of your server.

Because some people get confused about our name, we aren't the developers of SMAC.
We only provide a community driven global banlist and the tools to use it.
