Wasn't sure if this was a bug or a feature suggestion, so
decided on feature.

The new functionality provided by the output from
admin_userlist is enabling cheaters on our servers to
check when an admin has joined the server. This
obviously prompts them to leave the server to avoid a
banning.

While I think the new output is a useful idea, I think it
should not be a "public" command and that it should
have the access level of "1", or have a dual purpose
plugin, which will display access level as 0 ( or the
default level) to anyone who has no adminmod access,
and perform the extended actual output to anyone who
has that acess level.

    Open plugin_base in a text editor, scroll to the end of file and
    search in function plugin_init():

    plugin_registercmd("admin_userlist",....)

    change ACCESS_USERLIST in ACCESS_VOTE_MAP (1)

    and save plugin_base as plugin_base.sma
    to /scripting/myscripts and recompile it.

    I'm aware of how to edit this thanks, I just thought it would
    work better if it came this way, rather than a user having
    to "hack" it, hence the suggestion.
