"Get out"?

You shouldn't think an add-on is pointless just because you have no use for it, Trader.

Couldn't you just have it ChatMessage instead?

This isn't an opinion issue. Using events to manipulate things that have no relation to the brick running the event is factually handicapped and pointless. If the event system had been intended to be used in this fashion, Badspot would have used it to set up game preferences.
Ladios:
Its easyer for younger and less intelligent (no offense to anyone this time) members if they have something "physical" they can work with, rather than having to update some txt file in the dark recesses of their add-ons foulder.
It also allows these to be updated quickly.
I do see a point that a server GUI by the host would make it easyer, but this allows it to be used by all clients.
Also, /whatis whatis
...
that sounds like soemthing from a really bad song...

Not to sound totally ungrateful, but I was sort of hoping for something like that. I'm happy with the way it was done, don't get me wrong, but a txt file to edit (like the server rules mod) or a GUI would be nice too.
