One of the bigger problems lately has been due to anyone being able to change the options.  For my server I may just leave it as a free-for-all for now.. But you want to host a server, you can

1. Set the options how you want
2. /deny options - so nobody can change the options
3. /topic - Only (blah blah) games, just press Start - to change the topic on screen so people know why the options don't work anymore.

You can even do stuff like
/deny join - to stop people from creating teams

etc...

FYI, the Windows installer still calls the version number 1.0.

And while we're at it, Macintosh "get info" on the application still reports version number 0.0.0.
