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.

Thanks Orian!
We need some more good ideas like this!

Let me share something I use too.
I find that @@ in any talk mode with a cut and paste (or letter resolved) user name is easer than the ma_psay command.

lol, I'm guessing that's the shortcut that, previously, did not exist to my knowledge :P
