Description Karl Southern 2006-05-14 13:55:39 EDT 
Technically these are 2 different bugs, but come up the same area, I would've guessed.

1. Nick spamming. Its possible to change your nick extremely fast. This causes lag, and if the personal reponsible is particularly irritating they'll make it have loads of colours. 

2. Is is possible to have a nick with only a space as the name. Unfortunately the kick system will not kick this character.

If a name is truly blank, then UnnamedPlayer gets set.  I think what was going on here was related to this:

1. Throttled now, by g_minNameChangePeriod
2. Spaces are fine in names, you just need to enquote the name when using the kick command.
