Remote Moderation
Ok, in 2.8.0 kicking is different than in 2.7.*. I've had lots of people asking me how to do it so I just finally said I'd post it on the wiki. Now it works like this:
Notice: Everything will be typed in the chat! Type:
/login username@lt
Every server worth playing in nowadays supports global ID. If you have been granted moderator or admin in a server, you probably already knew about accounts and logging in. But, in any case case, please see Authentication_for_Players for more information.
You will continue to be logged in until you logout or leave. To logout simply type /logout. It's not necessary to logout though.
To kick you can simply type:
/admin kick player_name
And this will successfully kick them. It's pretty fool proof, because thier's not much chance of you kicking the wrong person. Now, here's an easier method.
Now, for the easier kicking. Type:
/players
This brings up the user list like the ul command did in 2.7.1. Find the client number you want to kick (Note: you don't have to be logged in for this). Then:
/admin kick #
Where # is the client ID or part of their name. And they're gone! Muahaha! The only problem with this method is that you might type the wrong number in and kick the wrong guy, then you got to explain it was a mistake.
So, what if they come back over and over again? Then type:
/admin ban #
This will ban them for a server default 60 minutes (unless the admin has changed it). You can also define how many minutes you want them to be banned too. Like this:
/admin ban # 5
This would ban them for 5 minutes.
Please don't abuse your rights! If the admin doesn't want you banning then don't ban!
Tips & Tricks
You can use instant chat keys for almost everything, here is an example:
- Instant Chat 13: /login myname@forums
- Instant Chat 14: /players
- Instant Chat 15: /admin kick \
- Instant Chat 16: /admin ban \
- Instant Chat 17: /logout
You can kick someone in about 2-5 seconds this way. The backslash tells the chat to leave it open so you can fill the rest of it out with the needed info.
Disclaimer: We are not responsible for anything that happens to anyone because someone abused their right to the server console, be careful who you give it to! In-game admins are all powerful, don't forget that!
