/ping


chat spamming causes lag, so a possible fix is a chat fliter. But /ping goes unseen by all, but it can be used just as easily to spam and cause lag. WOuld it be possible to limit /ping to once a second?

Huh? the /ping command just prints out your current net stats to your console.

Ya mean it doesn't actually ping the server? Darn!

Right, and it especially doesn't ping everybody else. The protocol doesn't have any extra special pings, it just keeps track of ping in the background in order to keep things in sync.

oh. i figured it could be used to spam the server with ping requests.
