Im working on soft, which, if are host, can kick player from game... if U want it and/or "the bad" Ip are saved to Your ''Sh*t list''.

Is there future for that kind soft?

Yes there is; except for the swearing. You should really remove any swearing from it.

Etho evilworm2 has made such a tool, but never released it, because most people didn't like the idea.

Also, Deadcode has spoken out against a kick feature.

Unless there is a sophisticated voting feature, I'm absolutely against it.
Better try to only play with people you know and like.

Yap, but this is somekind java based strange programm... ^^
Kick kommand can disable and keep just IP recognizer!
For example: player x (noob or lamer), change nick to y and log to wormnet.. but IP is saved to database and when player join, programm will automaticly beep. Then may kick manualy from in-game...
If they don`t like this idea, then they are people who do such things... :D

This is a bad thing, that could easily be abused. DO NOT release this program.

Sorry, but whats there is bad?

IP recogniser sounds ok, but the ingame booter is bad. I dont think it will be overly needed though, most dont change their names and most DO change their IP's.

That boot command can be removed... but about ingame booter i meant that someone who play game and the game not started, he notices that ip is recognized can now boot player from the WA.exe, meaning in the game, before it has started...

Also, lots of people don't have static IP addresses, but rather have dynamic ones.

If one player from a popular (or even the only!) internet service provider in a region/country gets logged/kicked/banned he'll simply would have to cut and reconnect his connection and get a new IP address.
And some other unlucky player may experience ruthless kicking in the game.

I think a kick/ban feature only makes sense together with a vote feature for really, really extreme cases.
Excessive spamming/flooding of a player can simply be ignored in-game, and if a noob player repeatedly ignores the rules KTC is the best you can do.

Although Deadcode has already spoken against a kick feature for the updates, I could imagine that such a feature could work when official ranking is re-established as players would need to register.

You can already kick players in the lobby before a game has started. :-/
