Hey Frank,
I have another report of "Hey, that's weird!" For the first time, I experienced this issue on a CityBuilder server (#12, 8k temperate) where none of the commands work. I have seen it many times on BusyBee, but never before on CityBuilder. (But Ben, who posted 2 weeks ago, also reported seeing this issue on a different CityBuilder server: server #15.)
I don't usually even have to try commands to know it is happening. If a server is bugged, it simply prints "Player has joined the game" when I join. If the server is working correctly, it prints the normal joining messages:
***Player has joined the game
*** Welcome to the BTPro.nl Playground, Player from United States.
