With regard to the recent reports of incidents of "poor administration" I feel compelled to take a moment away from programming and ask that people please take note of two handy commands, this applies to Players as well as Administrators
To players:
Some are already aware, however most are not, that if you open a teamchat command line (usually set to 't') and begin a phrase with "@ " it will be forwarded to all online administrators
e.g.
teamsay:@ Hey guys, I think that fish guy is hacking, would you mind watching him if you get the chance?
To admins:
ma_psay, sorry guys, no shortcut I know of for this one, and it's a little tricky to use.
if someone is contacting you discretely, or you wish to contact someone discretely, this command will Privately message players. It's a little tricky because you have to identify a unique set of characters in that players name.
e.g.
Players
fish (_(Crayola(_(> TheKillingJoke ()R][()N gOOCH SharpShooter Rez Prophet
ma_psay ( Hello >> will message Orion and Crayola
ma_psay oo Hello >> will message SharpShooter and gOOCH
ma_psay fish Hello >> will message fish
ma_psay o Hello >> will message gOOCH, Crayola, Sharp and Rez
This works well with clan tags.
Hope this helps to improve the quality of the server.
