And yet, servers are restricted as to what commands they can do to
clients in Source. This is because servers were abusing commands in
GoldSrc. For whatever reason, this is referred to as "slowhacking"
So no, just because you as a server owner want something mean that it's
hacking for a client to block it.

You are hacking your way around plugins taking up the slots of players who
obviously are willing to contribute to the community. You already have the
ability to blacklist servers and disable the motd.
As admin, I already choose whats on your game screen; I choose the map; I
choose the plugins. You do not get to decide how I run my server.
I offer a pinion bypass to all my players for $1 a month. It already has close
to a hundred people who are contributing. So our players obviously like our
servers enough to contribute.
Also the game is free stop acting like you shelled out a boatload of cash to
play a 4 year old game. You can justify it anyway you want you are just a hack
looking for excuses to justify your behavior.
Thank you for this, Ryan. Should come in handy.
In response to the circlejerk happening over there, it's all good and
well for server owners to put in ads, but in the end a server operator
is just that -- a server operator. The client is still in control of the
client, and I'll be damned if I'll let you choose what I get to see on
my game screen, enough that I don't even want a bypass config or a
plugin, I'll just not visit your server.
It would probably be a wise idea to invest your time and energy into
less-annoying and obtrusive advertising methods, as I know I am far from
the only one with these opinions. The Pinion may be giving you money
right now, but in the end you will be in the red as more and more users
get sick of it.
Strive to treat your server users like server users, not sacks of money.
Be professional and courteous to their needs. This is a game, they are
there to have a good time and enjoy themselves, not sit through
obnoxious advertisements.
