BRenBot has problems with player names containing spaces.
I used "!kick Yrr (1)" and "Yrr (1)" was kicked and added to kicklog.
If I rejoin with "Yrr", I get kicked, because the kicklog contains "Yrr (1)" with same IP.
If I use "!allow Yrr" it does not find the entry in the kicklog.
If I use "!allow Yrr (1)", it looks for a kick entry for "Yrr", which is not present. ("!allow <x> <y>" looks up "<x>" instead of "<x> <y>")

The reason for this is because the space is used as a division between parameters, hence anything after a space is considered to be the next parameter in the command. Since direct connect and gayspy allow any character to be used in a name, there is no alternative character that can be used to delimit parameters, hence the problem.

Kicks expire after 24 hours anyway.

Since there is no need to have more than one parameter for the allow command, the whole parameter string could be used.

*edit* Alternatively you can allow parameters with spaces by adding quotes.

!allow "Yrr (1)"

Ah, and then you have the question:

does "yrr (1)" mean the player called yrr (1) or the player called "yrr (1)" ? As I said before, someone people have some seriously retarded names with all sorts of stupid characters and symbols in them...
