On most servers that have stats enabled you get the rank-whores that type "rank" and "session" etc. after nearly every kill.
Gets annoying after a while.
I know I could disable the commands but that would mean punishing the rest of the server because of a small minority.

It would be great if we could set it so that if someone types certain commands more than a defined number of times they end up being slayed with a message explaining why.
I wouldn't be surprised to hear that there's an Eventscript to do this but as I hate eventscripts I'd much rather this was built using MetaMod / Sourcemod.

You can hide those commands with the chattriggers function of the Mani Admin Plugin if you use it. Fill your chattriggers.txt with the following and you are done:

"chattriggers.txt"

        //
        // This file is currently used for blocking say commands. This is
        // useful for things like HLstatsX to block spam from the in game console.
        // HLstatsX uses commands like /rank, session to get real time data.
        //
        // This file will be expanded over time to provide more functionality other
        // than just ignoring chat phrases.
        //

        "Ignore"
        {

                // blocked from being seen in the game. The chat however
                // will still provide an event for other plugins and still

Indeed I know you can hide those commands but then it disables the command altogether (as I'm using MANI stats)
I want to allow the commands (rank, session, top etc.) to be used maybe up to 3 times per map and then after that many the spam-punishment is triggered.

it usually DOESN'T disable them unless you tell it to.

It does disable MANI commands though.

If we were using an external stats system then the command would work even though it would be blocked from printing to chat.

Hence why I'd like the feature I requested in my original post

Good thinking actually Extreme, a simple script for sourcemod that could 'hide' set chat commands would be great indeed.

Yeah! If the command was simply hidden but still parsed to MANI so that the rank appeared to the payer that typed it ... there'd be no irritation to other players!
