Dedicated server supporter to stop Steam's Friends and Family (FnF) ban bypass.

The mod is for administrators wanting to stop people (ab)using the Friends and Family system Steam allows its users to partake in. Note that abusing Friends and Family is against Valve's Terms of Service (ToS) and can result in account suspensions of its services.

But for those server administrators out there who don't want to bother with the hassle of having a potentially malicious user coming back week after week, this mod is for you.

What it does: Every player that connects to the server is checked against if they are using FnF and cached. If the user gets banned and is using FnF, then the mod will ban the original owner's Klei Userid (KU) as well. The mod will check every connecting and disconnecting client, and all currently connected clients at those events, for being associated with a FnF account that was banned. Every banned user that the mod does will have an associated log entry in the default print out stating if the user was an alternate account (alt) or an owner of a FnF account for your administrative records.

What it does not do: If you have already banned a FnF account before installing the mod and the original owner pops onto the server, then the mod will do nothing. The mod does not iterate over previously banned accounts to check for associations and it does not store any of them- it only caches. Since the mod bans the owner as well when a FnF user is banned, it doesn't need to store the FnF connections.
