Here is a screenshot: http://gyazo.com/4153d7e3dba1731d329a32a8dadec30e It's 1.8 vanilla on hosthorde, completely vanilla: http://gyazo.com/b401943b4405981d7385b6827b9b6559 I deleted the entire entry associated with him in: banned-players.json. I did not restart the server but then tried to /pardon and /ban again in game to try it again and I kept getting that message. I will restart server after more people are off, but I have a feeling he will still remain banned. I could try to find out his IP and unban that but his friend who has the same IP was on so I know it's not the IP that was banned, just by nickname. Any help? Thanks!
