The issue is that it makes spoofing of other player's names possible. You don't want a computer be spamming the chat in the name of the owner, do you?I think RG could easily change it to the computer's Label… Seems more practical IMO.

Fair enough. However it would have the @ sign in front of it and be italicized. So it would obviously not be mistaken for the real owner, or whoever. I don't really see it as THAT big of an issue.The issue is that it makes spoofing of other player's names possible.

We'll see when you get banned from a server because I start trolling like hell with your username. :P/> The prefix idea is ok. It might be better to make it even more obvious for the more naive people out there, but it could work.Fair enough. However it would have the @ sign in front of it and be italicized.

there is a block limit set in one of the parameters of the say command, but if you omit the parameter, then it is an infinite range (I think). and since coding is so epic, you could probably prevent the computer taking even the resemblance of a players name.We'll see when you get banned from a server because I start trolling like hell with your username. :P/> The prefix idea is ok.

Yeah, except

They're pretty distinguishable. Plus, when it sends a message, it can return to the server the computer's coordinates. That can also help in tracking who is using the computer. At least maybe. Besides it would be no different than spamming with the current block, would it?
Plus, I don't know if it already exists, but there could be a block limit, (say 64 or something) so it would only bother people within a 64 block radius.

My point is that it's not enough to make it distinguishable, but it should also be obvious to newbies that this is a program talking and not a player. And spamming would be totally different than framing someone else for something. Anyway, block limit sounds like a decent thing to make configurable by default (in the server config that is).there is a block limit set in one of the parameters of the say command, but if you omit the parameter, then it is an infinite range (I think). and since coding is so epic, you could probably prevent the computer taking even the resemblance of a players name.* snip *
