I know that, i even suggested that it should be somewhat improved not to affect messages given through server console directly but i got no reply. Propably there is some sort of flood filter / caching solution which also now makes names appear in wrong order or missing information about all players and the output is something anything but clear.

Its should make a difference between a admin/player. Where the admin (one
with rcon access for instance) is allowed to spam it.
To fix the problem by denying all aint a good solution..

   Status command (and i suspect also ping too) are limited on purpose.
Valve employee or then it was sub contractor for CS Source (Hidden Path
Entertainment) stated this on the forums but gave no reason. It is known
exploit and players could spam these 2 commands on their client to make
servers lag.

If it was anti spam, one would think that valve introduces some cvar
to set the nr of query's to it.
For now I consider it to be a bug though.

Been a problem for some time, discussed on the Windows list.

I think it's some anti-spam thing that limited queries to one per X
seconds.

I actually just tried this out myself - seems to not like when you
give it status in quick succession, this _does_ break a few things
(such as using SRCDS.py to query the server multiple times).

I don't think it was doing this before.

When i have my console open, typing "status" does not always give me
a reply .. only it takes 3 to 4 time before it works sometimes.
This issue was out there before and I thought they would fix it but
it seems not.

Its random too, status, status,
status(work),status,status(work)status,status,status,etc,etc

Anybody knows  if valve is aware?
