AREA69
The new global blacklist for SA-MP's most wanted (...or unwanted)

What is it?
Essentially, it's a replacement for the now-defunct SprunkBuster.
Area 69 is a new 'global blacklist' where cheaters and other unwanted players will be listed. The idea is that as more cheaters are listed and more servers use Area 69 to block players on the blacklist, the number of cheaters affecting SA-MP servers - disrupting gameplay and annoying players - will be vastly reduced!

How does it work?
For servers, simply grab the A69 script from our website, load it on your server and it will actively kick any players found on the Area 69 blacklist.

But wait, how do cheaters get blacklisted?
We have devised a set of rules similar to those imposed by SprunkBuster which cover what we believe to be 'generally unwanted' by most servers: cheating, exploiting, flooding and impersonating.
Breaking any of these on one of our trusted servers will cause you to get blacklisted and unable to join any server that runs the basic A69 script.

I found a cheater! How can I add bans to the database?
At the moment, we are working with a few well-known, trusted servers to add bans to the A69 database. Adding bans will never be directly open to the public, but if you run a reasonably popular server, check out this page for more information.

What happens if I get blacklisted?
If you were legitimately banned, deal with it! Bans will expire after thirty days, and that will give cheaters some lovely time away from SA-MP to think about what they've done. SprunkBuster bans were permanent, however this was a problem with dynamic IPs where cheaters were banned, then obtained a new IP while another player obtained the blacklisted IP.
If you dispute your ban reason, however, we have a system for blacklisted players to appeal their bans.

Awesome! I'm a server owner and I hate cheaters! Let's do it!
Grab the script from our downloads page and run it on your server.
The more servers that utilise the A69 blacklist, the better!

The project is currently run by myself and Potassium. If you have any enquiries regarding Area 69, please reply in this thread, PM us on the forums or email us!
