Some names immune to admin

[dukevin]

Players named as just " or « or » are immune to all admin commands

/admin kick " or /admin rename " somename
yields "No players found containing , be more specific"

A quotation mark has special meaning when parsing command arguments—a quoted term is expected (like "foo bar"). You have to escape it to get the literal quotation mark, or use single quotes around the argument:

Code: Select all

KICK \"
KICK '"'

I didn't have any issues kicking a player named », either through remote admin or directly in a terminal program. Maybe there's an encoding problem on your end?

« and » get changed to " in ladderlog. I was messing around with this because i thought escaping with \" would work, but it did not.

I think it is only a problem if it is in the start of the name of your full name
so "kyleit will not find nor will it find \"kyle
I'm not sure if it does not work OK with kicking, but PLAYER_MESAGE it does mess up

You can get the player ID with /players and use this for admin commands.

\" worked for me just fine on plain 0.2.8 to kick a player named just «. Plain « itself worked, too, but of course for that you need to set the input mode to latin1, not utf8.

That is probbaoly why it did not work for me
