Reason: right now autohosts have to give admin by username(password is possible but cumbersome), if client is given permissions and changes name, anyone is able to illegitimately acquire access by registering/changing to the old name.
Take phpbb for example:
memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=5900
my name can be changed but that link will always point to my account because i'm always user 5900

Re: permanent unique id for account
Hm, this could be done by using some sort of handshake, the user gets permission so he's given a key he can use to authenticate himself to the autohost, this would of course be done automatically by the client software... I think something similar could be used for proper game banning, password the game with a random string and have the client automatically send a request via PM to the host (this wouldn't show up for the host), if the host allows the user to join he receives the password...
