Some things I would like to see for server administrators:
Server admins override level limits
Server admins immune to ping kicks
Ability to unban users through the console
Ability to ban users who aren't currently present in the server via console (using vaporid)
Ability to specify ban length (I'm a fan of '0' for permaban - this really shouldn't be confusing if theres documentation) Apparently I'm bad at reading patch notes.
Ability to track the combat log and write to a log file (to enable server side stat tracking - like HLStats in steam games)
Ability to override/veto a vote in progress
Option to enter rcon password to join a server as an admin (right click -> join as admin -> rcon prompt : mainly to allow joining of full servers for administration tasks if you aren't a default admin)
Server mute - remove a players ability to chat on the server
Ability to remove specific players ability to call votes
Ability to specify which votes (if any) are allowed - kick, changemap, balanceteams, tournament, etc
An option to restrict spectating players chat ability. Mainly helpful for deathmatch games where people can reveal powerups, but I would assume the league may be interested in this for spectators as well - if enabled, spectators are forced to team chat (in 1 life, dead players are treated as spectating).
Ability to specify idle kick time - it would be nice to cut down on the /vote kick xxx "reason, afk full server" kicks
This is all that comes to mind right now but I'm sure I've forgotten some stuff - I'll update as I think of things. Feel free to discuss your own ideas; I'm trying to stick to things that wouldn't be too difficult to implement in a timely manner.
EDIT: I also completely support making many of the server config options accessible in the console and changeable as necessary; things like maxping threshold, map rotation, etc. I've been moderating the new england servers for a while now and most of this stuff is off limits to me unless I start bothering people. Simple "set [option] [value]" syntax seems like it would work well for this.

I agree with all of this. Except for specifying ban time, which has already been fixed. I started bolding my very favourites.
I'd love if idle kick time in full servers was very short by default.
