In the context of a TF2 parser, they were, to my knowledge - though you're right that general 'source' stats parsers didn't have o deal with this before. This is stupid though - the point is the parsers have some responsibility to work around broken input - in the same way the linux kernel wouldn't boot on many buggy systems if it didn't work around buggy BIOS implementations. Valve still needs to fix this in the end though. > Can someone make a plug-in that "corrects" bad usernames? I might work on that - a plugin that allows you to 'map' bad characters to good characters would be workable. ( " to ', < to [, etc) > Can u lot stop spamming my inbox?
