I honestly don't know. I think sts added TKL as a "better" way of banning
while AKILL is there purely for backwards compatibility. I am also 
confused as to why unreal lets opers use AKILL (it's the same in 
nightmareforge). TKL is definitely the superior system, although
I myself prefer bahamut's system (*gets tomato thrown at him by sts*)

I also note that this problem is not specific to unreal. Bahamuts
S-fill-in-the-blank-LINES are plagued with reentry into the network
as well (I think) but they do not have automatic killoff when they are
added. AKILL does, but it doesnt reenter. read my RE: to ron's comment
