- Prevent game servers from opening the MOTD panel more than once if the player connected through matchmaking or quickplay
Would it be possible for Valve to implement a functionality directly in TF2, so the native client could trigger opening webpages based on keywords? (!rules, !join etc?)
While I understand that some servers are using the MOTD for bad, bad things, I think a lot of us are using it to better the player experience by giving access to additional information about your server, which really does not fit in a single, monolithic MOTD that players see when they join?
Or, maybe show a "Do you want to open a MOTD window" like when you are bounced to another server would be a possibility? Make http links clickable in chat would even work somewhat, so you could redirect players easier than them having to copy/paste an URL to get on.
All in all, this change is pretty bad for servers that actually try and educate their clients.
