You know that shadow person who is supposedly connected when you get disconnected and
you have to wait 5 minutes for the Uniserver to disconnect them? How about shamus
introducing the "knock the person off while they're on" mode, so we don't have to
deal with this anymore. And this could also help tell if someone knows your password
or not. ;)

how about inport and export contacts feature to copy contacts from citizen
to citizen... You can already load them using contacts.txt but not save
them.

What about:

If Winsock produces an error on trying to send a message to the client then
disconnect it?

Simple :-D

then people will get disconnected whenever they get the slightest trafic
problem, not that simple.

well, first, if its server side, the only way it will be able to tell
weather or not it is connected is by checking for packages not arriving! so,
if someone is having trafic problems, the packets wont arrive, and they will
get disconnected.
b) if it is client side, how the hell is winsock gonna send an error if you
get disconnected, since you wont be connected to the internet!

the way it works now is better, just it waits too long before finally
disconnecting the client...
