Interface BanEntry

public interface BanEntry
A single entry from a ban list. This may represent either a player ban or an IP ban.

Ban entries include the following properties:

Property information
Property Description
Target Name / IP Address The target name or IP address
Creation Date The creation date of the ban
Source The source of the ban, such as a player, console, plugin, etc
Expiration Date The expiration date of the ban
Reason The reason for the ban

Unsaved information is not automatically written to the implementation's ban list, instead, the save() method must be called to write the changes to the ban list. If this ban entry has expired (such as from an unban) and is no longer found in the list, the save() call will re-add it to the list, therefore banning the victim specified.

Likewise, changes to the associated BanList or other entries may or may not be reflected in this entry.
