Title: Wordlist Kicker - Prevent certain words in playernames
Post by: Decicus on May 05, 2014, 12:13:01 PM
Wordlist Kicker - V1.1 - May 16th 2014
I moved the backstory to just a normal pastebin, so it won't take up so much space: https://pastebin.com/WabLuKQ0 (https://pastebin.com/WabLuKQ0)

List of features:

Planned features: These are features I'm not too sure how I want them to be implemented yet. Don't you worry, they will come soon.

Configuration (settings.txt):

List of commands: The commands will be displayed like this: "console command" or "chat command". As of right now, all commands are silently run.
* You cannot add a word that already exists in the wordlist, nor can you remove words that don't exist in the wordlist.

Requirements:

What can you use this for?:
While my main idea for this was to prevent people from having curse words in their names, there are more ways this can be useful, even if you're not trying to use it the same way I originally intended it for.
If you use the whitelisting and "IgnoreAdmins" settings properly, you can prevent admin impersonators if you have a big clan server, for example. A lot of players look for a clan tag that matches the server to find an admin, and they could easily be fooled. If your clan members are admins, you could enable the "IgnoreAdmins" setting and blacklist your clan tag. That way non-clan members wouldn't be able to use the clan tag in their names and impersonate real ones.
Your clan members won't necessarily need to be admins either, you can whitelist connected players or a Steam ID so that they also will be able to use the clan tag. Although, that can be a hassle if you have many clan members without admin powers.

Of course, this is just another example I figured out. There are probably more situations where this is useful.

Other notes/FAQ (even though I haven't gotten any questions yet):
