I assume this is in response to all the server operators who are using those MOTD ads and abusing the system? If so - why can't you simply disable javascript/flash from working instead? This action punishes legit server operators (yet again) who don't use any of those kinds of advertisements on our servers from showing a standard HTML motd - something we were able to do for years until those pinion ad-farms came along.

HTML MOTD’s will no longer be shown by clients that connect via quickplay. Those clients will show the plaintext message instead. (The file identified by the convar motdfile_text, which defaults to motd_text.txt.) 2.) When sending a URL to the “info” panel by name, the URL must begin with ‘http://’ or ‘https://’. Note that this change does not affect putting a URL in motd.txt directly, which has always required a protocol prefix in order for the file contents to be interpreted as a URL. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds
