Hey, I was playing on a clan's server yesterday, and they seemed to be running some kind of mod you helped design (I can't remember off the top of my head what kind of mod it was.) It had curse protection on it, and whenever you tried to type "MOH" it would print out a long message that said something like "This script was produced by redsoccerdevil and bazookajoe of alliedassault.com" (or something similar to that.) The problem was, people would type MOH about 5 times in the chat box, and that message would pop up and spam the whole chat area at the top. Then someone thought it would be funny to type it about 20-25 times, and when they hit enter, the server actually crashed. It seems as though all of the "This script..." talking overloaded the server. Everytime the server reset, someone would come in and do it again. I think this is a rather large problem, so I thought you should know about it. Not sure if there's much you can do now that the mod has been released, but thought it was fair that you know about a method to potentially ruin a server (for example, if they were having a clan match clan "X," and "X" started losing, then
"X" could just crash the server and say they wanted a rematch or something.)

Good luck sorting this out (if you feel it is necessary to.)

Moved to MMS.

Thanks for pointing that out. This is the first complaint I've recieved about a server crashing due to excess messages, but I actually removed that message from the list, along with other words like "noob", "1337", etc. . .I figured since they weren't curse words, there's no reason to bleep them. That's in the newest version of the script, but it was never released. Hopefully, when Noctis gets back on the MMS ball, I'll submit it.
