I'm making a simple multiplayer tag game: https://repl.it/@Helixable/Multiplayer-Tag-v10
I want to make admins be able to kick other players. How do I do this?

[boolee]

records every palyers socket.id in local db,like redis in one room,then just emit to those players offline socket.to(player1.socket.id).to(player2.socket.id).emit('offline')

For future readers: this was implemented in b25495c and included in socket.io@4.0.0

Syntax:

// make all Socket instances disconnect
io.disconnectSockets();

// make all Socket instances of the "admin" namespace in the "room1" room disconnect
io.of("/admin").in("room1").disconnectSockets();
