I believe it was Tim Willits... I remember seeing an interview with him where he was credited for creating "possible the greatest map ever", "The Edge". I tried finding it- a quick Google search only returned various references to him being the creator.
Where the game permits this kind of behaviour, there isn't a great deal you can do directly. You could try asking in chat if any of the server admins are online (without initially mentioning your complaint until you've engaged an admin). Basically don't say anything to the offending player(s) - that will only encourage them to continue by informing them that it's bothering you, and bothering you is almost certainly one of their objectives as much as score boosting. Knowing the psychology of these idiots is helpful in defeating them.
If you can't find an admin and your game is being ruined, find another server. Bookmark/Fave (can't remember if Q2 supports this) some trustworthy servers that you've had good experiences in, and try and join those ones. I do this with BF3, and I have 15-20 servers running various maps/modes which attract good, sportsmanlike players, and frequently have admins present kicking out the trash.

At any rate, I'm quite certain he is the original creator. He even did a remake or two for other id tech based games.
