Also, nobody cares about admin commands if they're not admin, so check if player is admin when you want to print admin specific commands.
Printing in console is not very effective becous if players dont know how to bring that up or if they dont know its there then its just useless in my opinion, now when pklayers connect they see it every time so they will know every command they can use to optimal enjoi the server and use all its functions.

thats right but the hud message only stays for 20 seconds, if they want to read thats at least the minimum time they willneed to read it entirely, they can always type help again to bring it up when they need it unlike displaying it in console.

for the admin part you are most certainly right, I might change that but then users dont know what the main important commands are for that server when they buy an admin offer.
its just a lil advertising :p

How about the plugin tells them to look in the console when they join ? If they care about the commands, they'll look.
And why 'unlike console' for reprinting ? That logic is flawed.

But I see, that server is just a buisness, that's why you shove a 20 second huge message down their.. screen
You seem to've solved the problem in the title so anyway.
