CSB Name Filter

Blocks advertising, IP-like and impersonation names on connect and rename, with auto-rename or kick.

CSB Name Filter keeps junk names off your scoreboard. It checks each player's name on connect and every time they rename against a case-insensitive substring blacklist loaded from csb_namefilter.ini — advertising URLs, admin impersonation, IP-address names and anything else you add.

How it works

The plugin hooks the core client_infochanged forward, reads the new name and matches it against the loaded patterns (plus a built-in IP-address heuristic and a minimum-length check). A hit is either auto-renamed to Player_<userid> or kicked, depending on csb_namefilter_action. A per-player cooldown discourages name-change spam.

Features

• External csb_namefilter.ini blacklist — edit without recompiling.
• Substring matching, case-insensitive, up to 128 patterns.
• Built-in IP-address name detection (csb_namefilter_blockip).
• Minimum name length check (csb_namefilter_minlen).
• Action is a cvar: 0 = auto-rename, 1 = kick.
• Ships with a sensible starter ini; falls back to a built-in list if the file is missing.
