 Description   

There are really really dumb mod coders using the Bukkit Plugin Channels to send messages to the server. Whenever these really dumb coders don't know how to code the server console gets spammed to hell from the bukkit's plugin channel system.

https://gist.github.com/RingOfStorms/9a86755d83de878636c7 This error was spammed every single time a dumb kid with a dumb mod called spectral guns (http://www.planetminecraft.com/mod/spectralguns/) joined the server.

In short, please suppress these errors or simply make the plugin channels ignore messages from really dumb moders. There is literally nothing we can do to fix this besides banning really dumb kids who use really dumb mods.

Kicking players with the message, "This server does not support the mods currently installed" or something would be a better alternative to the console spamming an error for the duration of their session. I've been simply banning them anyways since there is no solution.

You're right, the value here should be 20: https://hub.spigotmc.org/stash/projects/SPIGOT/repos/bukkit/browse/src/main/java/org/bukkit/plugin/messaging/Messenger.java#21

AFAIK the channel name limit is 20 chars now, don't know why bukkit limits it to 16.

A very short warning message in the log with the channel name and the causing player should be enough. Players tend to not understand the cause of kick messages.

They shouldn't be supressed, because that would create hell for people making mods and wondering why it doesn't work. The only alternative I can offer is to kick players when this happens. Let me know which you prefer.
