Maybe you have a dynamic IP and other dude was caught cheating using your current IP.
I meet once a situation on my old DSL line, I notice as being banned in a tyres site where I was dropped by Mr. Google when I looked for UT99 mods, LOL. Once changed IP, the ban gone.
Anyway I "like" admins like this one banning forever an IP.
Facts:
1) A player have forever the same IP, ID, Name to play 15 years with the same data ?
2) The server will surely run for 25 years or forever

?
Leave them alones with their crappy policies. Maybe have something like:
DENY, *
Reason: VTableHook
The banning system offered by Nexgen is indeed bored, I looked more times for enhanced ban tools because of dynamic IP-s used, and INI files changed at once with name make such a ban to look like never existed. Beside this, an inocent guys entered with a banned IP will be restricted without any reason. What can I say ? GOOD WORK, ADMIN ! Keep your forever policies and teach your kids to not remove them
