Point of that post was to refer people to the function in the MatchServer.

You can log anyone attempting to use the symbol ^ as well via a procedure; you could create an entire new column or table for cheaters attempting to do this, actually.

So this blocks ^ entirely, with other ALT codes, or without it?

EDIT: Ok, I think it blocks ^ entirely, without other ALT codes.

IF (@Param LIKE '%^%')
BEGIN
SELECT -1
END

I know that, and I thought about posting that in the same post. However, it requires more work than doing a simple fputs to a .txt file. As I stated before, it's just what you want.

No, it's the exact same amount of work - to modify what Phail posted:

Code:

---

IF (@Param LIKE '%^%')
BEGIN
INSERT INTO BadUsers VALUES (@ParamName)
END

PHP Code:

if (strstr(Charname, "^")) {
//Do a fputs.
}
