Simple solution to a crazy problem? (Staff, please read this)?

[FrederickCaleb]

How many times have Staff said "Please use /ad"?

Whenever I join lobby, I see people advertising in the chat, "/join this", "/join that", and then there comes a poor staff member who politely has to repeat over and over, "Please use /ad ". Quite stressful... (Good thing that ranked players also contribute helping staff when things get crazier) https://omegle.onl/

As you know how powerful Minehut's word blocker is, why can't devs/admins spend a day in making a system where a message will be blocked if it contains "join" or "/join" or even a check if the player is advertising a server name which actually exists, e.g. Suppose I own a server called "Bonknote" and I type in "everyone!!! join bonknote quick! now now now!", you can check if a server called "bonknote" actually exists on Minehut before you block the message (example idea, pretty sure you can come up with better ideas, because I'm dumb).

It would make things a lot easier, and don't you think it would be worth having such a thing?

On top of that, at 13k player count, the chat gets crazy with advertisements, and Helpers, Mods and (rarely) Admins have to keep repeating "Please use /ad" over and over again.

Think about it, it's just a simple solution to a crazy problem. It will make things easier for staff, and prevent from some people getting mad like "SOTP ADVERTISING" and creating drama.

Helpers and Mods, you gotta motivate the devs and admins it would be worth it.

I suggest you read this post on Minehut Meta Github https://github.com/Minehut/Meta/issues/374, this is not a easy fix such as just blocking /join from chat.

If you wish to suggest changes/updates to Minehut, please do so here.
