So, I don’t really know the problem, but I will give you some information on what I did for my admin system, which may not be perfect but it works.
I like your code, but from my experience with BaseAdmin, this is what I coded for unbanning, if it detects the rank is ‘-1’
if rank==-1 then

You might be thinking how can I understand all of this!? which is why I’m here.
Basically, the simple thing it does is detects for this thing called BanData. BanData is documentation on the previous rank and the time the player should be unbanned.
Based on this, there’s only one thing that’s wrong with my code. The ban time can be different based on the server local time.
So, unlike doing this:
I did this:
t.unban = {function(Player, plr, ...)
local msg = getFilteredMessage(Player, ...)
local bmsg = ' unbanned by '..Player.Name..(msg or "")
local userId = game.Players:GetUserIdFromNameAsync(plr)
if userId then
local banData = datastore:GetAsync("_Ban"..userId)
if banData then
datastore:SetAsync("_Ban"..userId, {
message = banData.message,
unbanMessage = bmsg,
time = 0,
rank = banData.rank
})
local new = {}
for id, v in pairs(http:JSONDecode(datastore:GetAsync("_Bans"))) do
if id==userId then
v.status = "pending unban from "..Player.Name
v.message..= bmsg
end
new[id]=v
end
datastore:SetAsync("_Bans", http:JSONEncode(new))
notify("✅", Player.Name, 1, true)
else
notify("This player isn't banned!", Player.Name, 3, 'e')
end
end
end, 'Unbans the target player.', '<plr>', 5}
For unbanning.
Unfortunately, I didn’t have any luck with tables, so I used JSON instead.
The “_bans” datastore contains all bans. Don’t worry about that.
The “_Ban” datastore contains the BanData. That thing I was talking about earlier. What this does is sets the time to 0 so the user is no longer banned when they join again, since the script will look if the local time is greater or less than the ban time.
I know this is lots of information to digest, but I think this is a more detailed explanation of what BaseAdmin does. And it does work, so if you’re willing to try a method like this and it works, that’s good for you.
