I haven't on the forums for a while - it's nice to see TT still alive and kicking.

On a rare occasion I've come across players with a nick using a forward-slash as the first or second character in their name. Due to this you can't ban, kick or even mention their name in chat.

Would it be possible to disable the use of this character or turn away players with a nick containing a forward-slash in it at the server level?

TT will no longer touch any /'s you put in a chat message, except for the first one.

ie.
"//oddname test" will send him a message, like normal.
"!kick /oddname reason" will kick the player named /oddname, as you would expect.

(There is actually a workaround already to type the / too. You can just type everything else and place the /'s in the end. That will avoid the autocompletion. With TT you no longer need this workaround.)

I think some bots kick players with weird names automatically anyhow though.

A workaround for this would be to kick via ID. Haven't been online in ages so if the command is wrong forgive me.

In IRC :

!pl (!players)

You will get a list of all the players and ID's and other information. The first number you see is the players ID. Once you have this and assuming you're Admin or the Admin has given mods access to the !fds command type

!fds kick <id> <reason>

That will kick the player from the server.. If you wish to ban change "kick" for "ban"

Hope this helps.

Additionally im not sure weather you can just use the !kick command from IRC and use the ID instead of the name. I.E in IRC !kick <id> <reason>
