Summary: new ability for administrators - force pause

Initial Comment:
Often when an admin sees a problem (teamkilling,
carrying own flag out, spawn camping [when against
server policy], rejoining for position) that might be
simply naivete on the part of the player, the admin
might like to take the opportunity to instruct the
player of proper behavior without kicking or banning
the player.

It would be nice to temporarily remove a player from
the game so that the admin can discuss the problem with
that player without the player continuing to cause a
problem.

I propose that there be two new administrator commands:

   /pause "callsign"
   /unpause "callsign"

(or freeze/unfreeze, whatever) that would forcibly put
the player into a paused state.  Then the admin can
work with the player to resolve the problem, and
hopefully avoid having to kick and/or ban the player.
