You just edit the name that the applet sends to the server. It's a simple editing of a variable and all the server does is check that a username is in admins/ban list and gives permissions based on that.
I'm not going to explicitly announce how to do it, nor will I disclose such information privately. I'll just say, it's incredibly easy to do. And a lot of people do, do it. Either way, it should cause you no harm to follow my instructions and enable verify-names. If there wasn't a vulnerability, this option wouldn't be there at all. Right?
They say knowledge is power. Giving this information away to everyone would improve the mass intellect of those that use the game since they would have prior knowledge to such "hacks" and how to better avoid becoming a victim of them.
You don't need to know the cause to know the prevention.
Do you know exactly how cold and flu pills work? Do you even need to know? You just know that taking them will cure what ails you.
And I'm perfectly aware of what you're trying to do, weasel the information out of me. It does nothing for your credibility and I will not fall for it.
The prevention is to turn verify-names on. Why, because that checks who the client says they are.
Information in power. And giving this information away is giving away free power to those whom wish to abuse it.
I can dare say the pleasure has been all yours. You have poor credibility in my books now and I'll take everything you say with a pinch of salt. You basically also advertised yourself a griefer by requesting information that's classified as "hacks". And since the only useful value of knowing it is to cause mischief... well, you get the idea.

Anyway, just get the admin to remove those ips, and verify names, and done. This problem is over.
EDIT:
I am convinced some monster is eating words from my posts.
Quality of output = Skill * Effort
For all we know, you could be anybody.
Quality of output = Skill * Effort
I assume that the server has gone to hell?
Wich will mean we need ANOTHER reset?
Well hopefully the admin will unban us in a while...
Well until then just gotta wait.
Permanently...
So if you want you may feel free to lock this.
