how could you 'accidentaly' ban players?

and the master mode works by giving admin controls to the first one who joins the server

by not RTFM-ing ...
to be on the safe side (see $sauer$/docs/game.html) :

Servers operate in a so called "master mode" which allows people to easily and painlessly have games with people they know, without being disturbed by cheaters.
The way it works is very simple: the first person to enter a server becomes the "master" of that server. The master has 2 commands at his disposal which other players have not:

mastermode N
Sets the server to master mode N. N can be (ranging from very open to very private):

0 (open): anyone can enter the server. This is the default mode. It is good for games with random people, if no cheaters appear to be around.
1 (veto): as 0, but now the master can force map changes. This is good when playing with new players who may not understand how to vote for map changes.
2 (locked): as 1, but anyone joining after this mode has been set will be forced to be spectator only. This mode is ideal for tournament play, or games with friends only.
3 (private): as 2, but now noone can join the server anymore. Good for games with friends when cheaters are around, cheaters wont even connect, so wont have the chance to try and screw things up.


kick N
Kick's the Nth player on the score board off the server, and bans his ip until 4 hours or the server is empty. N is counted such that the top entry on the board (you) is 0, and the one below it 1, etc. You can't kick yourself. N may also just be the player's name.
This command is useful when you started playing an open game, and a cheater joins. Additionally you can move to a higher mastermode for additional protection.
Don't use this command for anything other than cheaters or people otherwise obstructing games.
spectator B
spectator B N
Sets whether a player is a spectator (B=1 to enable, 0 to disable). N is specified as for kick. A player can voluntarily make himself a spectator, but only the current master can make other players spectators.

The important thing to see about these commands is that they don't prevent cheating, nor are necessarily a fair way of adminning a server. They just make it real easy to have fun games with friends without being disturbed by cheaters or people you don't want to play with.

In the event that a cheater is the master, or someone is being abusive with his masters powers, you can simply leave the server and start a game somewhere else. There are usually more servers than players anyway, and more players than cheaters.

If the current master leaves the server, the next player in line will automatically be made the master. Mastermode will be reset to 0 when this happens (also when the server clears). At any time, all
players will see who is the master in a game because his name is marked in a different colour on the scoreboard.

It actually would help if someome would, instead of posting the contents of the Help File, just say how the syntax is for a Server with Mastermode.

Where do I put that Mastermode ? In the command line where i do the player number and the Servername or where ?

That would be interesting. Anyone cares to detail that a little ?

Thx
