Server - Unable to Chat

[PAL-18]

I have 2 Garrys Mod servers that have run into the following problem:

No one is able to use say or team say. When trying to chat, your chat doesnt display on screen or in the console log.

This is occurring in 2 different gamemodes and both servers have their own directory.

I reinstalled gmod files and it fixed it, but if this does it again in the future i would like to know what's causing it so i dont have to reinstall the server each time.

I tried the following that did not work:

Changing to base gamemode
Removing all customizations (and updating to download them again)
Deleting server.cfg
Deleting the following folders (and running updater to get fresh copies): bin, gamemodes, lua, settings

Any idea what's causing this?

EDIT:

Nevermind, i figured it out.

EasyMOTD is causing it. I tried reinstalling a fresh unedited copy and the same thing happens again. So i wont be using it anymore.

When I started on version v.2 I fixed that bug, but V2 is not going to be released. I stopped the project.
But here is anyway the "official" fix for the bug at chat.

[lua]
function ChatCommandSay(ply, text)
if string.find(string.lower(text), "/motd") or string.find(string.lower(text), "/rules") then
ply:ConCommand("EasyMOTD_Open")
return ""
end
end
hook.Add("PlayerSay", "ChatCommandSay", ChatCommandSay)
[/lua][/QUOTE]
