Commands are not toys

[stormeus]

Just a moment ago, I was asked to go through some logs due to reports of lastlogin abuse, and what I found was disturbing. Instead of writing my usual incredibly long speeches, I'll just get to the point:

lastlogin is not a toy.

Sure, some of us may have had a little fun looking up weird names and really old players, and it was not really disruptive. However, using it to harass, troll, and irritate other players anonymously is a gross abuse of the rules, worse yet, coming from established members of the community. This next part goes for everyone -- you guys were entrusted with the command, and still, it seems that every so often, there's a breakout of abuse of it.

To wrap this up, I'll just say that I wouldn't anticipate this happening again, because the scripts are being modified so that /c lastlogin, sur, wanted, etc. are all PM-only as in SA:MP. It should help cut down on the rest of the spam issues we have with them as well.

If I may just add, in the meantime while these commands remain server-wide, many of them also have /c pm variants which will only display the resultant text to the typer.

For instance, /c pmlastlogin.

Does /c pm work for all the commands? So by doing this, it will stop the yellow messages that everyone see's?

Given the age of this scripting system, it's more than likely that the commands enabled to do this are just PM-variant copies of the original commands in the code, meaning that they were explicitly coded separately for each command, rather than something that made PM'ing available on all of them via one piece of code. If that is correct, then it's possible that most commands can do it, but likely that not all of them were done this way for many different reasons.
