Sometimes when you try to connect to a server, you can get this bug.
For Littlewhiteys, it would be like this:
Connecting to 83.133.126.170:7777...
The server didn't respond. Retrying...
Connecting to 83.133.126.170:7777...
Your banned from the server.
If you get this bug, simply try reconnecting to the server.
If you have been banned from the server (intentionally) you will not be able to login to your Littlewhitey's Server account. LWBot will kick you, with the reason, "Attempted login on banned account.". If you experience this, you should make a ban appeal in this board
before reconnecting to the server. Even if you use another name, the admins will know you are there and ban you again. This is called ban evading, and doing so will result in a
permanent ban from the server.
If you are in this situation, it does not necessarily mean you have been banned. If the server is experiencing down-time (aka the server has crashed) it may appear like this. A more reliable way to check if your banned/server is down is to click on the server in your SA:MP Browser, and watch the ping graph in the bottom right corner. If a green line on the graph doesn't appear, your banned or the server is down. The server can sometimes crash while restarting or updating gamemodes. This will sometimes say:
Server Closed The Connection.
or you will appear to timeout, then not be able to reconnect and keep getting this:
Connecting to 83.133.126.170:7777...
The server didn't respond. Retrying...
The best thing to do is ask a friend if they can see the server, if they can then chances are your banned. (Unless you and your friend share an ip/caught in a range ban).
I hope this post is useful and solves some players confusion on if they have been banned or not.
