i'm not a server owner or anything, just trying to connect to the server, but it's doing this for a very long time and then shows error. other people have this issue as well. is it something on txAdmin side, or something specific to the server itself?

:point_right: Error: Checking banlist/whitelist failed with code 408 and message: nil.
:point_right: Meaning: If you have any kind of Discord whitelist enabled, the error above means that txAdmin was not able to verify if the joining player is a Discord server member because the Discord API timed out.
:point_right: Cause: This happens because Discord blocked your server IP temporarily (5 minutes?) because the IP has sent too many requests in a short period of time.

  • You may have some Discord Logging resource (webhook or bot), which is spamming the Discord API.
  • You may be using a shared hosting, with lots of servers on the same IP, making Discord block the IP.
    :point_right: Solutions:
  • Disable any Discord logging that sends lots of events.
  • Change your host to a VPS where you wont need to share the IP address with other servers.
  • Disable the txAdmin Discord Whitelist.
  • Important to remember that Discord was not meant to be used as a logging service, if you are doing so, you are abusing their system.
