If you have FTP and rcon access to the server, Aliasfinder is awesome. It 
parses the punkbuster logs and gets guid and name info. If you let it monitor 
the server, it will spam every alias that players use to the server.

You can also get a guid (pb_plist) and enter it at this site:

There are some custom models that might appear sideways at times... 
XaeroRetard, for example. (funny model)
Also, at extreme speeds, some models will "fold" at the waist, with their 
bodies being horizontal and legs flailing vertically. You can see this in 
trick videos.

Could be something as simple as lag, or as another poster pointed out a 
strangely engineered model of some sort.

I thought it could have been a model issue - but I dont have any extra skins 
loaded - and so I would not see a different skin used by another player (it 
would default to sarge).  I think now that it was a 'warping' as the player 
was pushed from the pad beneath.  I have seen bodies (characters) do some 
wild things in this game..  lol.  Cheers tho -

Ok - NO.  I just saw it again - and this time I can see where it came from. 
On the same map - 69pickup - a player comes up from the water - onto the 
pad - and jumps upwards - but the figure is still acting like it would if it 
was still in the water - that is - it is horizontal and as if still 
swimming - but as it goes through the air.  I put the crack pipe down some 
time ago - this is real.  How is this so?  Fault - or fix? - Cheers -
