As an admin can I kick or ban players for impersonating clan members/saying they're admins?

I think IF a person is impersonating an Admin they should be asked to change their name straight away and if they don't comply then kicked.

 

This is just my opinion though so don't take it as gospel but I believe it disrupts the server in general if people are running around trolling as Admins.

Ok,is using offensive names kickable? Just want to verify what's a kickable offence .

Take a screenshot before and after kick for offensive name, while having the player list open.

I'm not officially saying that you are allowed to.

 

Regarding impersonating admins/members; I do wonder the same.

Though the provider do tend to say that it isnt a big issue to kick someone for.

since it is not allowed to "close" the server to anyone, it will be possible if you could ban them.
I dont think that you can ban others.

It would be nice if the Development Team would weigh in on the Admin posers and the Offensive names issue. 

 

It offends the hell out of me as the one who pays for the server. I personally feel justified in kicking those individuals and would hate to have my server suspended.

We just rented a server today and set it up. In the (BattleEyE) BEC configuration editor, there are options to filter for bad names and bad words... not sure how these function because I have not researched it. Additionally, there does not seem to be any things specific in the rules about impersonating but this would probably fall under harassment if they are being fools.

 

The "Do Not Do's" apply to abusive admins, so just be sure to have screenshots or some video and you will be fine. Oh and I thought you could click P and get a player list. Sorry I am just starting to play again and not familiar with everything. However, we have run into a good amount of players using glitches, exploits, ghosting, etc. and that is why we got our own server :-). Now we can deal with it ourselves.
