We had the same problem in Garry's Mod.
And because of the method Moderators use to kick, he was able to stay on by
COPYING someone elses name so there were two "bob0Fishkins" on the kick
menu. The gibberish characters were like a Y and a T with three crosses.

To do it we had the owner go in to console and use multiple methods of
banning - name, steam id, and ip.
We never heard from him again...

So basically, add his steam ID to the ban list, and add his IP to the ipban
list as well.
Also, if the rcon_password server cvar is not defined, I'm not sure how it
works in L4D, but in GMOD, that means the password is blank so if someone
enters rcon_password in console, it accepts it as the valid password.
