Hello, first post on the TF2C forums!

 

I've noticed that on lobby pages, the lobby chatbox will also contain messages from the TF2C console informing users (and more importantly, the lobby leader) about the state of the server password, rental time, etc. The way this message is presented I find problematic because it is presented as a message from "TF2Center", and someone can easily change their name to "TF2Center" and post incorrect and false messages, as was the case in a lobby I was in today;

I suggest changing the color of the text, similar to admins' text posts

Another option is to disable the name TF2Center, in the same way you can't have the TF2C tag unless you're an admin. this should be a fairly small fix.

Well observed! We will be blocking players named "TF2Center" and system messages will get a special color.

Implemented! http://rc.tf2center....elog#2014-08-08
