Add a configurable nickname ban filter, similar to the chat filter except this is defined in the properties file since it doesn't need unicode. Any user that attempts to use a nick that contains anything on this list will be denied.
Fix a bug with /kick and /ban that caused it to only work against users with entirely lower-case nicknames.
Add a check that the user's IP address hasn't changed. This probably isn't as needed now that /kick actually works against everybody.
When users connect (or reload the page), show a permalink to that session's games as well as a permalink to their entire play history, if they haven't opted out of that tracking. When a game starts, or a player/specator joins a game in progress, show a permalink to that game's rounds.
The "when a game starts" bit required removing the tracking of the 'dealing' state, as there was no other easy way to determine that a game was starting. Nothing actually used that dealing state, so it was harmless to remove. Now, a transition from lobby to playing can be detected as a game start, as opposed to a transition from round over to playing.
This takes advantage of the metrics logging, the metrics processor, and the metrics viewer to provide a permalink to a particular round, instead of requiring players to take a screenshot of the round. This will not be enabled immediately as the viewer is not quite ready for deployment, but this is all that needs done on the game server to support this, so it can just be dynamically enabled when it's ready.
First load handler needs to send those things so the client actually has it. Doesn't really need the persistent id there, but it definitely needs the sigil to avoid undefined errors.
Server startup time is included in first load response, and game creation time is included in game info. IRC bridge uses these, and perhaps a way to see them in the web client will be added too.
Trying to figure out why some people can still get in while banned. I cannot reproduce this, and it does not make sense that it is possible as the admin page lists their current IP address in the ban list... and those are all trimmed, so it can't be spaces. Weird.
