[quake3-bugzilla] [Bug 3593] New: voting system is insecure

[monk at rq3.com]

I thought there was a bug/feature request about being able to kick by
player id or guid or something, rather than name?  Man it's been a while
but I think on Q2 when someone with rcon typed something like "playerlist"
it got a list of names and numbers, like:

0 Monk
1 Zakk
2 Loser

And I think there was some ability to do "rcon kick #" or some such.  It
might have been a mod extension in Q2, but it got around the name issue.

I had thought someone on this list had brought it up a year or so ago, but
I don't recall offhand.  If it's not already a feature, it might make
sense to add as an additional command, like, "rcon kickclient #" or some
such, as long as there's a command that can display the playername/#
association.

I'd test myself, but I currently broke my 3D card, 2 hard drives, and some
capacitors on my motherboard so I can't do much stress on the system. 
Heheh, dangit.

Monk.
