Custom chat warning messages #303

Closed TheMikirog closed 3 years ago

TheMikirog commented 3 years ago

A clear and concise description of what the problem is. Because bots are starting to catch onto the existence of the tool, they start to spam fake warning messages as a means to spread confusion. This means that legitimate users can get blamed by other users as potential cheaters or trolls for just using the detector's chat warning messages.

Describe the solution you'd like In my opinion being able to customize the warning message should sidestep the issue of people mistaking the warning as a bind. This way it can be personalized while still retaining its power of informing people.

Describe alternatives you've considered If a bot is on the other team, the chat message seems to be the only way to inform them about the threat and I couldn't find any other ways of informing people in a less intrusive manner.

Additional context My day to day use of the tool made people blame me for spamming binds, trolling or worse being a cheater myself despite meaning no ill will, since bots started to use the chat warning aswell.
