Simple concept, Add in some useful messages giving players information they might not know with the usual reminder of sexiness or alkatraz's updating duties, featuring such classics as

- Its much harder to kill you with pistols when you jump!
- You can buy more than 1 of an item at a time! eg. /buy 12 pistol
- Check out /store for a full list of weaponry, there's more than just TNT.
- /help goes a long way

and much much more! potentially

You can use /who to see your statistics.

A few minor changes. :p

A couple I've thought of:

Use /upgrades weapon to see all available upgrades!
TNT is free, select it with B!

(Also, I'd suggest removing the "GmK is the n00biest!" one, because people go "Who's GmK???")
[Will edit with more when I get back from running errands]

What about a / command to allow you to disable these things from popping up on your screen:

/messageoff
Random messages are now off!
/messageon
Random messages are now on!

Not sure how easy it would be to do that. And quite frankly, I don't see the point! :p

But yeah, some of the suggested ones like CTF, /who and /upgrades would help people out I think.

I kind of support Darth's idea of removing the one about gmk (or just all of those messages in particular). It makes me cringe everytime someone asks that, and it also leads to the explaining the concept of pings and why they shouldn't happen.

You get my point.

Maybe you can put in the requirements of becoming Trusted. And if it's too long, maybe a command like /requirements or /req to show what is needed to apply, and some helpful tips for applying.

I think that we have staff for that to explain, even some people of the playerbase could easily explain it.
Not to mention that when someone asks about any staff rank, a lot of people would say "Use /req".
But thanks for your idea though :)

I want a cmd to disable those "useless" messages. Active players know those things. I need the important stuff in my chat.

I'd like some changes go along with this cmd: /skip says "1 out of X skips to pass the map" (won't take two lines anymore.), remove the help. Removes "you are now on the red/blue team." -> it says "NAME joined the COLOR team" anyway.
...
Im sure there's more but 1am now and I really need to sleep. G'd night.

Hey guys, just thought I'd give you a quick update, since I removed a few and added some more to the minutely messages. Here's a list of them at the moment.

Code: 
Please read /rules.
Need help on anything? Try /help.
http://blocktopia.net/forum/
Try /store and /buy!
Use /itemhelp *item* for help with an item.
Try /tutorial for general help with the game.
Have a problem? Report to an online staff member.
Medium gray block is the colour for pistols.
No spawn camping!
Any form of hacking will likely result in a ban.
Apply for staff at http://blocktopia.net/forum/
Use !*message* for team chat.
Metal can only be destroyed by punching or nukes.
Report any bugs to staff. Do not exploit any of them.
Use your brain before complaining!
Using /skip in-between rounds could skip the next map!
When in doubt, give the operators a shout.
Don't recognise the map? Check our wiki maplist.
Use /map to see information about the current map.
Want to know more about killstreaks? Wiki has info.
Check out our wiki: blocktopia.net/wiki/
Try jumping to avoid being killed by pistols!
You can buy more than 1 item at a time: /buy 5 pistol.
Type /store for a full list of weaponry you can use.
Type /itemhelp to improve your knowledge of weapons.
/who displays stats about your games, check it out!
We have many special map types: CTF, Payload and KOTH
Try checking out the other Blocktopia classic servers!
This is a team based game, don't be selfish now!
When joining the game, check to see if it's unbalanced.
