A few people have asked me about these messages.
So I thought I would take a moment to explain them.
The messages are part of an anti-cheat function built into the admin program I'm using.
When a player joins the program checks for several settings which are used for certain cheats. If it detects any of the setting it will trim the end of his name by either 4 or 3 letters based on the length of their name. It will then put up the name for display ( for me it will read ruidCP ) This is being done this way to not draw attention to the innocent players who may get a C and P but allow you to see who they are. CP by it's self doesn't necessarily mean a cheat. If you ever see someones name with more than CP or anything but C or P, it most likely means the person is cheating.
Some of the other letters and what they mean.
A = nolight
B = fullbright
C = Challenge missing <<<-- doesn't mean anything
D = dietouch
E = cg_lagometer <<<-- doesn't mean anything
F = farplane
G = nofog
H = novis
L = lockpvs
M = showSmp
N = nocull
P = Protocol missing <<<-- doesn't mean anything
R = lightmap
S = 3rd person
T = acidtrip
V = voodoo
Y = gamma
Z = forceModel

Several of these are not cheats by themselves but are used to make other cheats work or work better.

I could have it set to auto-kick for some of these. At the moment I'm not going to because some people may use them without know just what they are for. A perfect example is [PKU]_ashe who had novis set because a readme that came with a crosshair mod told him to add it.

Another nice feature of this program is the ability to let other clan members access it remotely. RealDeal is helping me test it right now.
I will be setting a few MOB people up with the remote program.
With the remote you'll be able to
Kick a player
Ban a player for a day
Permanently Ban a player
All at a click of the mouse.
It should be a big help in keeping our server free of cheats and idiots who don't know or want to play well with others.

Not a word was spoken to contradict or disagree with S@bot when he called me a....
bully, dictator, snide, hypocrite, arrogant, smartass and lets not forget,
according to him the way I act is reprehensible.
Yet, you're going to censor my signature because it's inappropriate and might hurt his little feelings???
Sorry. don't think so
