What I'm thinking is you can have a master MySQL database, then whenever you ban someone, data is stored in the database on who got banned, what gamemode he was banned on, and what he was banned for. Then you can have a little derma gui that you can open, and it checks if anyone on the server has a recorded ban. That way admins can get a head start warning on who may be a minge. This might not be the best idea, but i'm trying. This would be bad if there were abusive admins that randomly banned everyone on the server, then people would have false warnings. Maybe it should only be logged if the ban had an actual reason.
Let me know what you think :P

Already one out there. Its easy to use and install.
This isn't what I meant. I mean you can see a database with ANY ban that occured on ANY server that had MingeWarn installed.
I think what he means is, That server owners will be able to ban players, And a record of the ban be published to a global database where other servers can access. Note: I don't think he means that the player get a global ban, But rarther that other servers are informed of the ban, And admins can make an informed judgment on the player.
Kind of like Punkbuster, but instead of banned on all servers, its a notification.
I think that's what he's trying to say.
If anyone were able to make such a system, unexploitable and unabusable then we would have one already.
Also it's kinda dickisch to be blackmarked on every server if the admin of a popular one with a good rep just hates me or something.
Also who cares if a player has minged on another server if he is acting fine on my server?

I agree, and servers owned by 12 year olds with Dark RP are just screaming to be minged on
This HAS already been done.
Source bans figured out this problem at the begining: What if one roque server starts fucking up the databse. This was then limited to a group of servers would could apply for an API key, And be trusted within a certain of other servers. However, Then it just grew down to individual communities for cross server banning.
A better idea would, However, Be that an inidivdual server can hold its own individual records on the database, And other server could 'friend' others, To get notifications on bans.
