Two problems:
First, you're handling your bans in entirely the wrong place. A ban should be handled in the first Login() or before (in client/New()).
Second, since you have null.name popping up as the culprit, there's your clue; whatever you put before .name is null. If you'd posted code, we could point out immediately what the problem is, but you didn't do that. When you post in Code Problems, include code.
My guess is your SaveMob() proc is peppered with usr, where usr shouldn't be used at all.
Again, we'd need code to tell what the heck is wrong with this one.
However, "Cannot modify null.something" is the easiest bug to find and fix.
This is a BYOND bug, and what you should do is package up your code (with the other bugs included) and send it off to [email protected] with an explanation of the bug.
This is probably related to the other one.
