Crow King Autokick will do the job along with Serverwatch. Take a look in the forums and you will see the posts with links for them. As for official released by IW.....we are waiting on it, but the news is positive...

Well then I gues you'll have to wait. I take it you aren't able to drop your game screen. But lets face it, Admins never get to really enjoy a full map anyways. Lord knows I never have as long as the idiots are around.

i found out that if you have the rcon pass and you type /cmdlist in the console it brings up everything you can do

/rcon banuser "name"
/rcon banclient "name" this bans their cd key

Yep it doesn't appear like they have activated these cvars. We will have to use external kicker programs untill the CoD Patch comes out.

Ummm, im pretty sure the old commands work for COD. I have banned a few people on my server with

/rcon addip 0.0.0.0 (thier IP there of course)
/rcon g_banips (brings up the list of IP's you have banned)
/rcon status to get the client number then
/rcon clientkick 10 (number representing the client number by thier name)

Hopefully that is what you are needing, if not I tried :)

Hrmm ok, well if it has worked for you then great. I'm not admining on a public server right now so I don't have a test bed to work with....granted there are plenty of numbskulls to use as an example.

Hmm... I cannot get it to work then, any ideas. Are you running Linux?. I have tried putting my own IP in. Banning my self the way you typed in your post and by using the commands below, it says I am banned but yet I can rejoin with no problems. I have used Hammers config for banning as well with the ips added and it still doesn't work. Has anyone else got this working?

/rcon banuser "name"
/rcon banclient "name" this bans their cd key

Nope...it doesn't work at all. If someone insists they have it working then they need to provide more information. The addip command does in fact add it to the g_banips variable but it doesn't appear to work.

Well its more than a matter of FF idiots. You have to take in to account alot of servers don't tollerate swearing, racial slurs/names, and excessive complaining. When a non compliant player won't leave after being asked to do so, you can only kick them so many times... This is where banning them for what ever period of time you deem necesary comes into play.

Yeah what Sitting Duck said :wink:

We are currently using reflect for damage, so if player shoots his own team he gets hurt and not the teamate, which does help. But I don't want C*#$breathe in our server, he/she can play somewhere else with that name or use a better name. And normally these players with the well thoughtout name come back with an even better name after you kick them so being able to ban would be nice.
