I don't see how. We already had a number of colors available before. It could of been just as abused then as it is now.

Besides, they would not have added it if they thought abuse was possible.

The only way to abuse this that I see is if clients can use it on any server.

Man, I guess I just have a different definition of "abuse" than others. It feels like 'abuse' is one of those words that people throw around for anything much like calling someone a troll when they don't agree with your points or have the higher ground in an argument. Oh well. I'm all for this new text color, can't believe it took them this long to implement it.

random colors per char is pretty though it'll be annoying to see it on a daily basis

Abuse will only be defined by the players. If a server "abuses" the colors in chat and the players like the look of it, there is no abuse. Otherwise, if it looks terrible and players are complaining about it, yes it is abuse.

Simple enough if a sever abuses it, they will loose Players, simple as that.

It's the server's choice of how they use scripting language...

Just my opinion.

I wonder if when I'm telling my kids "No" when they ask if we can stop @ McDonalds is considered child abuse? I mean, surely they don't like being told no.. right? right? I don't think abuse means what everyone thinks it means in regards to text color lol

Players can't use them. That was a plugin.

It is a question several people including myself have raised. It wont come to be unless someone creates a newer version from scratch using the new color code and creating a ConVar to enable your own HEX Color Value.

Thought I put that in my first reply. Guess not.
Yes, it was this plugin that allows players to have green, olive etc. chat colors, which in turn allows the usage of Hex codes. You still have to manually type in the Hex code(along with a required hidden character) in the chat to get the color you want. So in a way, players can use them so long as the server has a color chat plugin running and the players can use the feature.
