Arma 3
In Arma 3 #exec kick and #exec ban commands require quotes (string) for Name, UID or Player#. To do this for the UID or Player#, use format command to turn the user ID into a string.
#exec kick "5" #exec ban "imah4x0r" #exec kick "938679499494"
#kick command can still be used either way:
#kick imah4x0r #kick "imah4x0r"
In case of banning, ban.txt file is created in root Arma 3 directory that contains a list of banned UIDs. To unban a user by UID (UID is the only option) or to clear the ban.txt:
#exec unban "98749837498374" #exec clearbans
