Kick/Banning issues with people with similar names

Open Xandaros opened this issue 12 years ago • 2 comments

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.

Use SteamID for kick/banning ??? Profit!

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)
