I finally got banned for all the teamkilling.
Hate that stuff. It qas a good game too.

I really hope zuperman fixes this.
I have some suggestions to fix this kind of issue, as follows:
a) Forcing players to use names with, say, 6 to 8 characters, and to use only alphabetic (non spacing) chars and numbers (sorry, no name players...)
b) Forcing players to stick with the same name without changing it for at least 4-6 months or whatsoever.
c) Blocking players that use offensive names until they change it to a non offensive one.
I know that sometimes there are some good reasons for changing names (mods like to do it, for example, to be not recognized during a game for moderation purposes), but I think that this suggestions aims to a greater benefit. Of course, they are just generic ideas, but I think that something must be done. Remember: there are kids and girls playing this game. And MOMs can not handle all these children.
Edit: Part of these suggestions are not mine, but I don't remember who are the authors to give the credit. But as they are good ideas, spreading them do no harm to anyone.
