How to kick/ban guys who contain a space in his name

[Sheepy1977]

Hi,first,pls forgive my pool english.:shrug: I hope u guys can understand what I said..if not,pls feel free to let me know...:)


I am the administrator of a S2 demo server.Sometimes,I got to kick some bad guys from my server.

But one day I found I can't kick someone who put some spaces behind his/her names.Fox exsample,the name "AAA BB ".When I type the command "/kick AAA BB ",the LFS respose nothing to me,and the bad guy was still there.

So my question is:how to kick those bad guys??

Thanks!

Click their name only triggle a kick/ban vote...and what I want is kick/ban them immediately (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&newwindow=1&q=immediately&spell=1) ...

press shift control so you see their real nick.... then right click on it so it comes up in the text box... use arrow keys to backspace to the front of their nick... type /kick then a space... hit enter and say bye. :) For bans you do the same but you also need to add a space and number after their nick for how many days the ban is for. 1 is normally good for a temporary timeout. Doing it this way also saves having to try to figure out the funny characters some nicks have. :)

edit: okay the above works for S2. I missed the demo server part sorry. :) In demo it works sort of the same. Right click on their nick... it'll come up in a text box... again use arrow keys to backspace to the front of it type /kick or /ban then a space. Hit enter and they should vanish quick. :) You have to use the arrow keys to space back before the nick. Using backspace only will erase text. lol Blonde moment. :shy: Ty Moonclaw for pointing out my mistake. :)

Right click on their nick... it'll come up in a text box... again use arrow keys to backspace to the front of it (or just press the "Home" key) type /kick or /ban then a space. Hit enter and they should vanish quick. :) You have to use the arrow keys to space back before the nick.

It's habit for me and I forget to add the little stuff others need to know and kick button only works if the majority click it. If you get a problem child and his friends on there, they can hold up the vote so it won't work. :)

Anyone here know what the 'spaces' represents ? Are they 'special'
caracters that don't show on all PCs (codepage thing i guess)
or are they really spaces, because i'd think that writing the spaces
should do, but as noted above, it doesn't. Unless it's LFS
that can't read a username with spaces ?! It sure can display them though.

[sil3ntwar]

they coud be using alt+255 which does a space but is not the same as pressing space bar

Exactly, that's what i mean. There are quite a few ASCII caracters that can
give a 'space'. I'm not too familiar with the newer standards/protocols but can
Unicode caracters also do this ? I'm not even sure that's the one i mean...is it
the one that can include up to 65535 caracters and includes things like
chinese symbols and russian letters, etc...?

Sometimes, often, this is used by people who purposely want to prevent their
name from being used in a kick/ban vote. As long as you can't reproduce their
name you can't kick/ban them. Is this the problem ?

Or is it more because LFS might not recognize the caracter so it writes a 'space'
which isn't the actual space caracter we ALL have ?

The magic words "Admin", "Banning" and "help" are sure to get Tiny's tiny feet pattering in your direction!
