Chatbox spam on server join

[Bonsai]

Hi,

from time to time, random people join my server and spam ads in the chat. Usually this isn't so bad as they only do it once and never come back.

But today some guy kept joining over and over again spamming stuff.

The problem is, apparently he is able to get around the function that handles every output to the chat.

function Chat.redirect(message, messageType)
	
	if not isElement(source) then return end
	
	cancelEvent()
	
	local arenaElement = getElementParent(source)
	
	if not arenaElement or getElementType(arenaElement) ~= "Arena" then return end
		
	local chat_color = getElementData(source, "setting:chat_color") or "#ffffff"
	
	local message = Chat.parseEmotis(message)	
	
	if not getElementData(arenaElement, "showSpectatorChat") and getElementData(source, "Spectator") then
		
		Chat.outputSpectatorChat(arenaElement, getPlayerName(source).."#ffffff: "..chat_color..message)
	
		return
	
	end
	
	if messageType == 0 then

		if getElementData(arenaElement, "silence") and not exports["CCS"]:export_acl_check(source, "silence") then
	
			outputChatBox("Sorry, Silence mode is active!", source, 255, 0, 128)
			return
		
		end
	
		Chat.outputArenaChat(arenaElement, getPlayerName(source).."#ffffff: "..chat_color..message)

	elseif messageType == 1 then
	
		if getElementData(arenaElement, "silence") and not exports["CCS"]:export_acl_check(source, "silence") then
	
			outputChatBox("Sorry, Silence mode is active!", source, 255, 0, 128)
			return
		
		end
	
		Chat.outputArenaChat(arenaElement, "#ff00ff* "..getPlayerName(source):gsub("#%x%x%x%x%x%x", "").." "..message:gsub("#%x%x%x%x%x%x", ""))

	elseif messageType == 2 then

		local team = getPlayerTeam(source)
	
		if not team then return end
	
		for i, p in pairs(getPlayersInTeam(team)) do
		
			outputChatBox("#00f000[Team] #ffffff"..getPlayerName(source).."#ffffff: "..chat_color..message, p, 255, 255, 255, true)
		
		end	
		
		triggerEvent("onServerChatMessage", root, "#00f000[Team] #ffffff"..getPlayerName(source).."#ffffff: "..chat_color..message)
	
	end

end
addEventHandler("onPlayerChat", root, Chat.redirect)

Normally, he shouldn't be able to write anything in the chat without going through this function.

But it seems when you join a server and very fast after that spam a message, it will be output to the chatbox without trigger the "onPlayerChat" event.

I would also like to request a tempory ban or something like that for this guy. Maybe it will teach him and his friends a lesson.
