I accidentally perma-banned two poor sods.
They were ignoring me when I was trying to enlighten them to the rules. I had warned them, kicked them and had my fun slapping them around. But the point I realised they were ignoring admin even though I had gone to the effort to TYPE to them to communicate with them the situation, I decided to ban them. The ban from console command seems to work a bit different recently, and no matter what I type in as the length it gives a permanent ban. I had intended to give the fellas somewhere between a few minutes and a few months off our server.
I would appreciate it if a server box admin could please help me revert any bans I made last night. But no rush there... I mean... seriously... feel free to take your time

More importantly I would like to confirm I am using the ban from console command correctly, with reasons and lengths. Any help would be much appreciated.
-Ouch!
