I think a function where the name of the person who entered the room is coupled with a kick and/or mute button shows up for the host for a limited amount of time would be a good idea. The only reason I say this is because quite often you have people, usually young kids, enter rooms, say derogatory and racist things only to quit the room before you can kick them and do it 5 minutes later. It's annoying and is becoming increasingly tiresome. When they do this you have to figure out who it is to kick them and that can be a bit of a hassle in itself as most of the time they are either far away or zooming around the room. This may also give the host some better awareness as to who is entering the room at any given time. Might be something to look into as it would give the host the ability to kick an individual immediately upon entering the room which may be a deterrent to young people to say and do these things because they are not going to have the time to do it. The idea sounds good on paper, might not be in practice. Let me know what you think.

I like this idea. The ability to "kick"/"ban" someone who left in the last minute or 2 would be very interesting. Same for reporting them. Even if they leave right away you can initiate an ingame report
This wouldn't be something you would find in the Tools & Toys section though.
Sorry peregrine I didn't know where to put it.
This would fall under admin controls, and it's something only the admin of a room would be able to do.
I found that when this happens, I find the spot they instantly come in at and sit and wait for them to come in with my menu opened on the side of me and as soon as that brat pops in...BOOM Kick
As a follow up Perhaps rather than a short time window it could just be the room host can click a button and see a room history of people that come/go over the last ~30-60 minutes?
Kinda 'Kick-out' log... It would be good, if it provides any functionality. Example: Permanently/temporarily block a user based on the log.
As an addition, i'd like to see an IP-ban for users. Kids regulary change their username and relog to start all over again.
