How do you do that if he recycles before we all get him out? And what if he keeps changing his name? And what if he keeps changing sides?
It isn't anywhere near as good as a votekick option.
There's a Steam Group of some server admins so that you can contact them directly through Steam chat. Failing that, you can also google the server's name and find their website, but chances are you won't be able to find an admin's Steam id easily.
Sounds like a troll, get an admin involved, for the official servers, ask IronHorse, provide video evidence (Use Fraps or dxtory and youtube) and his or her steam id (sv_stats in console), you can also try to find his or her Steam profile and use "Report Violation".
As for the "don't name and shame", the above is a good example, they're in for the trolling and the fame, no need to give them any attention here.
Reporting them to server admins and Steam Support will get them out the quickest.
Is there an in-game command to bring up a kick vote and temp ban of a player? Or is the only solution to go find the server admin?
A community effort is underway to make a list of known offenders: http://forums.unknownworlds.com/discussion/129777/ns2bans-com-name-and-shame-here#latest
To view the IDs of players, open the console with ~, type sv_stats and hit enter.
Note the ID of the offending player, record their activities(use fraps or ezvid), upload the video and contact the server admin and provide ID and video proof.

Even better if you record the shananigans, and provide he admins whit actual profe
it also sucks if the commander forces the team to concede if the vote concede did not pass
i mean there is a vote, and if it not pass then respect it ... it means most of the team still want to play!
Anyways, trolls gonna troll. All advice above is superb, though. Also, trying to play on the same servers regularly can help, you'll find ones that have better player bases and/or more active admins.
*Hops into command Chair at beginning of game. Sees only one Infantry Portal. Immediately recycles it* The hell? Why'd we loose????
EDIT: I'm a terrible speller...
If power is out ips don't work so no need to recycle.

But if you have three bases and one is lost and you see no chance in keeping everything intact, why would you not recycle it? You'd recycle everything, IP included, whilst building elsewhere.
