We're kinda getting annoyed by this kid who keeps coming back after he got banned on our FFA server. He can't play cuz of multiple range bans, but I don't like the way he's joining, console keeps spamming "Multiple connections." while his bots join.
Is he using some sort of auto join program or something, cuz it appears he's joining all the time, non stop, this is second day it's happening. Is there any other way except waiting to counter this or some ideas how to stop him spamming his multiple bot names?

Is he actually joining; or are his bots actually filling up player slots?
If not, then just try to ignore it. I'm assuming you're using the patch against mohfill; if so, then just disregard it because it looks like it's doing what it's supposed to be doing.
I think it logs it in console, just so that you can see it's working, but it shouldn't effect the game play.
Either way, it's some immature kid that has too much time on his hands. I wouldn't worry about it.
Not sure about the patch Mohfill, i could ask blackwolf, our CL who has set up the server. What does it do and where can we get it?
No he doesn't actually get on the server, I think all those bots are just refused connection because of banned ips. It does show up on gametracker that he's trying to join: https://ibb.co/C55Pzrq
However if you try to join the server there won't be anyone there. Duno why gametracker even shows it. I hope it doesn't come to he point where our server lose rank because of fake players :d that's pretty much my only worry.
You misunderstood what I was saying. MOHfill, is a tool some "cheaters" use to fill a server with fake players. It just uses up player spots so that actual players can't join your server because the spot is already taken.
If you're using the Reborn patch, the patch should protect against this already. As long as you're using the patch, you shouldn't have to do anything.
I believe there are a few additional things you can do with Reborn, to at least make it less annoying.
I noticed that his attack is launched from various IPs.. however still 3 or more connections from the same IPs every time.
If you set sv_maxconnperip to 2 in the server.cfg it should only allow 2 connections of the same IP into the server (you could set this to 1 as well, but it might block innocent people who have 2 people playing in the same house.. but you could always do it temporarily).
Also ban the IPs that are doing this (or the ranges) with the Reborn ban system, which should disable the connections altogether, at least stop the names from showing up in-game I believe.
