Because they think european keyboard.

On french keyboard, / (us) is ! and with MAJ it's §.
To bind it, open console (or edit config.cfg), type "bind / command".
In-game, i press "!" and bind works.
It's the same for chat, have to learn US keyboard (quite fast to learn often needed keys).

This is the fix I made, either the command name or /name can be used, chat is *always* visible so other people take note how they can change their name. I have to add that changing the name in TFC is particularly difficult, since Valve messed up: http://forums.steampowered.com/forum...d.php?t=944223

Caution: This fix might not work in CS, I think for CS it needs an additional setinfo command. I made this specifically for TFC though, where simply typing name in console is sufficient.

/* 

This plugin is originally by KyleD, I modified it slightly so you don't have to use a slash in front (useful if the keyboard layout isn't American).

I also fixed a major bug, originally global chat wasn't visible anymore because handle_say would *always* return PLUGIN_HANDLED.

version history
1.1 - inital release as described above
1.2 - minor change: made name change chat visiable so other players can see how it's done
