Every CS:GO server comes equipped with a built-in banning system that allows you to prevent unwanted players from connecting and playing on your server. Of course, you can also unban a player that you previously banned if you would like them to be able to play again.
GETTING A USER's ID
Before you can ban a user, it is important to know what their User ID is. To find it you can use the status command.
After running the command, you will want to locate the user you wish to ban. The data is displayed in the following format: # [user_id] [number] “[user_name]” [steam_id]
