    The little red circle around people who are being vote kicked and/or identified as a griefer are nice.
    Things that would be nice:

    1. A login to just "view" the map as an admin, so instead of being a player you just have a map view and you get to watch everything.

    2. Is there a way to change how long someone is banned for when they are admin kicked? I'd like to make it permanently but it seems after an hour or so the ban goes away and some problem people always come back.

    3. Much like the little red circle, can we have say a purple circle for people who get the "building too fast, warnings" ?

    4. Again this is more of a question because I can't seem to see how to do it, is there any way for the dedicated server to "talk" in game? In order to give any commands you have to log into the server as a player. Would be nice to just be able to type in commands on the dedicated server prompt.

    Names are just names. -shrug-
    I go by something else now anyway.

    Another thing to list is when people respawn, from the server perspective it says "joined the game".
    Shouldn't this be "respawned"?

    ... alternatively - there should also be an option for exactly how verbose the server is.
    I mean is it really necessary to see how many people die? (its a lot)

    Ahhhh! And where is the list of "banned users" if you were to unban someone?

    And what does it tell people when they attempt to join a server that they've been banned from?
    Because there are some very persistent people and I don't think they understand that they won't be getting back in.

    \kick(id) accepts an optional second argument as the duration of ban

    I think \msg can be used for console announcements

    oFFal I think the problem with having a ban list at the moment is that it's difficult to identify a single person each time they join your game.
    They can mask their player ID, etc. Without accounts there's no solid way to ban them I don't think.
