Sourceban Augmented Moderator Steam Addon od nrtn

The Sourceban Augmented Moderator Steam Addon is a small plugin augmenting the Profile and Friend List views when browsing a user on Steam. It is intended for Community Moderators/Admins frequently using Steam Profile pages to check the creditability of players.

On the profile page it simply adds the Steam-ID2 (in the right pane, under potentially listed VAC/Game Bans). In case a SourceBan++ installation is linked, the SteamID is a link allowing to directly search the SB database for this user.

The Friend List page now loads substantially slower due to a lot of background Steam API requests. The benefit however is that friends are now sorted according to multiple queryable criteria. The idea is to make researching this profile's smurfs/mains and/or VAC banned friends easier.

Additionally in this view ban data is augmented for each user and a small orange area serves as a link to search the (optional) SourceBans++ installation for the corresponding user (similar to the main profile page).

*Important:*

In order to use this Add-On a Steam API key must be generated (can be done at https://steamcommunity.com/dev/apikey) and set in the Add-On options (click on the bug icon in the top-right area, paste key and confirm with Return).

In order to have working SourceBans++ links also enter your SB installation's URL in that same options area.

Apart from the SourceBans link and the Steam API key you have the option to automatically substitute the leading 0 in your Steam ID2 by a 1. While this flag usually signals the community visibility state, some Source Bans installations need to be queried using always a 1. In general you should know whether or not you need this option.
