Now it's like that:
[xREDIRECT]:

It should be like that (without the collon of course):
[xREDIRECT]

Non-regular announcements should be with a star:
* [xREDIRECT]

Regular announcements are those which are frequent - these do not require a "*", because there simply would be to much of those kind of announcements.

Non regular announcement is a special announcement, triggered by something uncommon.
For example:
[xREDIRECT] Say '/server' to see other servers you can be redirected to.
and
* [xREDIRECT] This command is disabled.
or
* [xREDIRECT] You are 2 in queue to join Z
but
[xREDIRECT] X has just followed Y to Z. Say '/follow' to blah blah
(since it's very common)

Why? Because that's the way AMXX is. Plugins should follow these rules and not use 'alternative' announcement formats when it's really not necessary at all.
That is just my suggestion though.

Just to let you know, we have no rules that dictate the format a plugin must use for chat messages. The plugin author is free to use whatever format they wish without any restrictions. While lots of plugins follow similar message formats, these are not forced at all and never will be forced. We like giving the author as much flexibility as we can with the small rules list we currently have. Also, I personally see no benefit or necessity for the message format to be changed for this particular plugin, I think it is fine the way it is now.
