Anti Chat bot Script

[ShadowZero]

What the title says.
Im tired of people joining servers just to have a chat bot spam the hell out of your server.

chat bots are client sided, and send commands to the server in exactly the same way the client would otherwise.  Honestly, it is hard to tell a chatbot from an obnoxious servergoer, and i very much doubt that anyone could write a script that could discern any difference.

All methods to block chatbots could easily accidentally go after regular users. And not just users being annoying, but your friends.

For example: You want to block a greeting bot. You make it so, if a players name is said within a few milaseconds of them joining, it bans. Now say your friend invites another friend to come play, and sends the message "Blah is coming." Just as he hits enter, the person joins. Banned.

You do it using a sort of 'ping' test.

You make the chat bot say '24572474282825682568258258 connected.'

Then, if anybody says the long number in the next couple ms, they are banned.

No human could copy it down fast enough.

EDIT: It might even be possible to somehow 'hide' the chat or something. Idk.

I use secureClientJoin or whatever, not some choppy join checks. As such, you can't send fake joins to chat and make me sing.
