Disabling host's ability to talk as another player.

[Providence]

This is just loving stupid to have in the first place, but when the host knows how to do this, or a person can use the host's console via mod, such as eval, It can make an actually decent player look like an starfish. I don't know if Badspot can do this, but it would be much appreciated, even though this happens rarely.

Anyone can talk as someone else with events.

I'm gonna pull the "it's the host's server" argument on this one...
Yet there's that quote by badspot about how just because it's you're server doesn't mean you can throw a party then through stuff at everyone.

I'm really not clear why the host would limit him/herself, though.

The only way to stop this is to prevent any kind of message period.

Which means no chat. No messages in chat. Etc.

Not the point.

Isn't it the special mod by Munk that has the command /talkas [playername] in it?
How can Badspot do anything about this? It's just a mod.

His server pack and no. It has the command, but it's extremely simple to do via console as well.

Code: [Select]

findclientbyname(name).[Commandfortalkinggoeshere*]("Text");

*I think it's servercmdmessagesent.

If said decent player isn't afk and the host does try to make him look like an starfish, then I'm sure the player would object.

They can always leave the server and make their own server that is doing the same actvity.

Only super admins can use it, and I know several people knew about the command before.

Nope.

Code: [Select]

servercmdmessagesent(findclientbyname(name),"words");

This. There is a much higher chance for people to belive the one saying it that he isn't than anyone else.
