Re: [hlds] blocking the server's PLAYERNAME has joined the game message
Actually, even with bans, we found that we would see the PLAYERNAME has joined the game as they must attempt to connect for the bans to process. The plugin that was linked by Jeff S. did the job. Sure, we can't see when ANYONE joins the game, but it stopped the vulgar names from spamming our screens constantly, and that was the goal. Thanks again all.
