Message of the Day URL function can expose players to adult content, malware, etc
Reported
The new <MessageOfTheDayURL> function that can be set on dedicated servers will open the Steam browser to the specified URL without player input when they join a game. Server administrators can set this URL to direct to inappropriate content, malware, etc. without the player being able to prevent this from opening.
As KSWH cannot realistically expect to be able to filter web addresses to police the content that the <MessageOfTheDayURL> could be used to link to, I strongly suggest that either the function be disabled and the text-only basic Message of the Day function remain, or that a pop-up showing the web URL with a "do you wish to proceed to this site?" be generated to get a user's explicit consent before directing them to the site.
I have the same bug

i vote that the Do you wish to proceed to site popup option be the one chosen as i can think of a few god server uses for such a feature such as a live updating territory map for a factions server

Hello, Engineers!
Is it possible someone could share a server that uses the URL function? I can't seem to find one that does currently.
