Hey, Everybody!
We're all gonna get laid! I've gotten all of the stats tracking stuff setup with a spiffy new domain. Say hello to
tf2.gafserver.com!
The web software will keep track of everyone's stats as well as giving out daily awards and other e-peen increasing commendations. The site also logs the in-game chat and will create a download link anytime the server is on a custom map so you can grab it quickly from the web and hop right into the game.
Apparently there's no way to globally disable the annoying chat messages, but each user can set it off or on individually (the setting should be persistent, so turning it off once means it's off for good). You can find a list of all available commands
here or by typing hlx into the chat in-game.
I've also edited the scramble plugin so that it now scrambles the teams based on stats rank. It'll be fairly useless for a week or so, I'd bet, but after that it should help with the stax. There was also a setting to scramble based on 'skill' but I'm not sure how they determine that, so I'd rather stick to rank until I read up on it.
