Kick/Banning issues with people with similar names #34

Open Xandaros opened 11 years ago

Xandaros commented 11 years ago

Let's say there are 2 other people on the server, one is called "a", the other "ab". You want to kick the Player with the name "a".

It won't let you, because the name matches both players. It needs a way to handle such cases.

I suggest allowing !kick and !ban to work on player IDs or adding commands !kickid and !banid. When trying to kick a player with a "non-unique" name, it prints out all matched players with their IDs.

This post reminded me of this issue: http://www.wiremod.com/forum/off-topic/10418-longest-thread-ever-1one-junk-thread-423.html#post271593

Use SteamID for kick/banning ??? Profit!

Xandaros commented 11 years ago

Yes, but if you have a spammer, you want to get rid of him as quickly as possible. Figuring out the steam ID first takes a while and is not intuitive. (You need to realize you need to do that in the first place)
