For the longest time, when we kick a player off a server, we have the option
of giving them a reason for being kicked.

This is a great tool.

But there is a problem; we are terribly limited in what we can type out to
them as a message.

For example, I use my own ban system, and then kick banned players when they
connect. I'd like to show them a message that contains information about
their ban, such as who banned them, when they were banned, why they were
banned, and where to go to contest the ban.

The kick message also has the same redundant string "You have been
disconnected" "Disconnected: Kicked by console: " that takes up precious
space.

Yeah, I had no idea I was disconnected. I thought aliens might have abducted
my client or something.

So what kind of request am I making?

How about replacing this:

With something like this:

Preferably, making box blank by default so we can format the message however
we like.

I can't see this being that hard of a request and it would be nice.
