Just wanted to let you know I’m on your side here. I personally don’t use the backend parts ingame but a lot of users prefer the web listing for maps (showing you all your records, which place, images for the maps, callvote button, etc.) and the ingame UI options we have are just not cutting it generally. > Plz plz plz dont make me depressed by hitting delete on years spent coding my > administration panels. Honestly I’m at a point where I would just delete the servers with it. It’s just no fun anymore to „play“ according to the rules whilst others cycle their GSLT’s every day with virtually no consequence. And for the nay sayers: You were always able to block HTML motds client side and if the support weren’t so bad you wouldn’t have to resort to invisible panels that from the nature of things blast with full volume (or whatever the Steam WebHelper has in your mixer, it doesn’t care about your game settings). For me, get rid of invisible panels or disallow audio to combat ads but then again, radios, etc. depend on the same thing. Opening URLs in the overlay sounds like a good idea but that won’t prevent ads either, to the contrary without any sort of limiting they are gonna open hundreds of tabs for you :) But Volvo making „sv_disable_motd“ a protected CVAR and disabling it by default (back in late 2017) speaks books to me, they don’t really care about us or how we provide the community with custom experiences.
