Summary0000368: normal chat cannot be formally distinguished from system messages, commands, etc.
DescriptionAs you can see in attached txt file, commands and system messages are formally indistinguishable from non-team chat.

Possible fix: add (CHAT) in front of those lines.

 I dont see the issue.
Normal chat looks like this:
[playername] chattext

 And exactly that is the issue. Assume you have two players:

One named Player, one named [Player].
"Player" now says "has left the alpha team".

The resulting message:
[Player] has left the alpha team

is ambiguous: It is not possible to know whether "Player" just wrote a chet message, or "[Player]" actually left a team.

(The whole protocol is a horrible mess anyway. Filtering out messages is basically brute-forcing and matching against possible masks.)

 I'd rather throw current admin protocol to bin, but tweak would be useful either i guess.
