I actually think the name ban was a good idea.
Goonstation players get attached to certian names, in most servers each round is expected to be a blank slate, If someone repeatedly acts the same way and people get used to it, and they just treat the round as an extension of any other round, it's not really a blank slate.
If people are less likely to react to someone like Kingston assaulting captain and stealing his ID because "It's just what kingston does" that ruins rounds because instead of investigating a potential traitor or griefer, people are just encouraging the behavior by inaction.
TL;DR By ignoring stupid behavior because of someone's in game name, you are metagaming, please stop crying about Btek.
