@Surfjamaica Nah, the line is split into 5 parts. The ban message is always the last part so no matter how many commas the ban message contains it will be fine. Read this javadoc http://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.4.2/docs/api/java/util/regex/Pattern.html#split%28java.lang.CharSequence,%20int%29 It is the very piece that is being used.
