A malevolent player on a CTF server didn't like me for some reason. He created a kick vote but it failed so, he tricked everyone into kick-banning me from the server by changing his name to match mine exactly. Then he simply created a kickban vote and succeeded in getting me banned from the server.
I know that getting the ban removed is an issue I must take up with the server admin. However, can't something be done in the game to prevent this from happening in the first place? If not, then maybe there should be a solution in the next version.

There are some griefers that do random kicks to people on the server. Often those of us with high scores. Normally it doesnt make a difference because people can generally tell whos being the utter moron.
I read the circumstances of your issue in another thread, it seems that we have to prevent people from having identical names

Possibly not the worst mapper in the world.

too bad there are enough ways to make names LOOK identical... but maybe we can do something anyway
1. Open Notepad
2. Paste: ÿþMSMSMS
3. Save
4. Open the file in Notepad again
You can vary the number of "MS", so you can clearly see it's MS which is causing it.

Well, I talked to players a little earlier today. Their complaint was, How do they know which player is the real playername? I logged onto the server tonight and five minutes into playing, the list jerk did it again before I even noticed he was online. He changed his name to match mine and initiated a kick-ban. I was kicked from the server but not before taking down his IP address and getting a screenshot.

Furthermore, his kickban notice says "impersonating me". So everyone thinks its the real me calling the vote when its actually the imposter.

Man he really doesnt like you... you could always go on the server with a different name then do the same to him for a laugh/revenge.

The guy goes by a few names but I'm supposed to keep this hush so I really can't say more. Galt took care of it, supposedly. Not sure how long it will keep the guy away.
