Player logs on to the server. He does something neato like /cdrive_register NAMEHERE MYLEETPASSWORD. We yank his steam_ID as an identifier and store that wench somewhere along with his NAMEHERE. This way, we can compare it if some jackass just tries to use different names. In this way, you can have a bit more control over banning someone on the forums. The problem being that the db for the forums/vbulletin would have to interact with a new DB we create or be altered to compensate for the little steam_ID check (wouldn't be that hard under SQL I'd wager). I honestly don't know if all of that made sense..I just woke up.
