Description
RH_ChatMonitor - Automated Chat & Name Moderation
RH_ChatMonitor is a powerful, standalone server moderation tool designed to keep your Arma Reforger community clean and enforce your rules automatically. This mod actively scans both player chat and player names for a fully customizable list of banned words.
Key Features
Standalone: Requires no other mods to function (builds on the vanilla SCR_BaseGameMode and SCR_ChatComponent).
Chat Monitoring: Scans all player chat messages. If a banned word is found, the message is blocked and the player is warned.
Name Monitoring: Scans player names upon connection. If a banned word is found, a ban is immediately triggered.
Infraction System: Warns players via in-game chat for initial offenses. After a configurable limit, a ban is automatically triggered.
Web API Integration: Communicates with RoadHouse web API to issue bans. The mod does not ban locally; it reports to Battle Metrics, which handles the ban and kick.
Live Reload: Admins can use the #chatmonitor -reload command to reload the banned words list from the config file without a server restart.
Status Check: Admins can use #chatmonitor -status to see if the mod is active and how many words are in the filter.
How It Works
Chat Monitoring:
A player types a message.
The mod intercepts the message before it is sent to other players.
It checks the message against your m_sBannedChatWords list.
If clean: The message is sent normally.
If a banned word is found: The message is blocked. The player receives an in-game chat warning (e.g., "[SERVER] Warning 1/3..."). If the player hits the m_iChatInfractionLimit, the mod sends a ban request to your API.(contact us for access to the webapi)
Name Monitoring:
A player connects to the server.
The mod checks their name against the same m_sBannedChatWords list.
If a banned word is found: The mod immediately sends a ban request to your API for a name violation.(contact us for access to the webapi)
