From Brink Addict’s interview with Badman:

Q7. Could you tell us about how Brink will cater for clan/community admins with regard to administrating servers will it a use Rcon based system, or an external application?
Would love to talk about this, but we can’t just yet. We’ve got a few neat things planned that will soon be revealed. On the PC, we’ll of course support dedicated servers, so a lot of the things in that area will be similar to what players are used to from our previous games.

Adding this to a previous comment from (I think) Ham about being able to track kills and deaths on your own server if you really wanted to.

Could they be doing something like this?

I literally have no idea what your post meant. LOL.

I guess I don’t know as much about PC gaming as I’d thought.

Means I am totally guessing that they’ll have some cool ways to pull stats from servers so they are exclusive to that server, and let you set them up however you would like (or not). Some kind of easy way to tie the server info to web sites, who knows, maybe even admin it that way.

wild ass guess though.

Sorry, I don’t think so
I take it as all the old stuff still still work, e.g. server querying (i.e. remote rcon), server log parsing (i.e. custom per server stats)
The new stuff I think will be limited to an in-game server admin interface, i.e. an easy way to kick/ban from a scoreboard type menu
