improved auto kick (jitter & packet loss)

What about an improved server auto kick, that kicks people with too much jitter or too much ip-packet loss?
For that we would need new server commands, for example:
/jitter "value"
/packetloss "value"

At the moment servers are only able to kick if too much lag.

I had this thought way back in 2.0.0 - it's been done now, I've seen it on action (mana's public hix server, iirc).

Hmm. I readed all server-names and server-descriptions! But didnt find both servers.

If those servers still online, plz someone tell me the exactly server-name.

I talked with some developers:
-----------------------------------------------
In version 2.1 jitterkicks will be possible. But 2.1 will not be compatible to 2.0.x!

But if u compile yourself 2.0.9 u will have the jitterkicks, too, with compatibility to 2.0.x!

The jitter commands are principal same like lagkicks i am told. So i assume it would be:
/jitterwarn value
/jitterdrop value
-----------------------------------------------

Tks cannonBall, yeah on the serveradress u told there is jitterkick, and it works!
Wondering that this server is version 2.0.8 and even works! Perhaps they added jitterkicks manually into 2.0.8 code and compiled..?
I tried /jitterwarn value-in-milisecond on an 2.0.8 server and it didnt work.

If someone has more information, or knows that it should work on normal 2.0.8 servers, then plz tell the servercommand for jitterkick.
