Again I’m being impersonated by a spammer, I’m well known the the V40k module as I create it, and he’s posting fake links that take you to viruses and disturbing sites using my name, when he appears on the server I have too warn all the players to lock their rooms before he damages their games.

So a simple feature where he can’t take my name would be good. Even better would be a Moderator status allowing certain members to kick disruptive players from rooms even if they’re not in the room. Probably would require more work though.

It won’t be possible to impersonate anyone once we switch to the Jabber-based  
server. I can’t tell you when Rodney will be done with that, however.

Awesome. That’s great news.
