About

KickPlayer disconnects a specified player from your server in real time. Unlike a ban, the player's Steam ID remains unbanned and they can rejoin if they wish.

Use this for temporary enforcement, rule violations, griefing, or clearing space, when you don't want a permanent ban. The player receives no warning; the kick is instant. You need their exact Steam ID to execute the command.

Both dedicated servers and single-player admin consoles support this command. It is a cheat command, so cheats must be enabled in your server settings.
