I believe that we should restrict the ("players") string from being allowed inside of the findIncludeClass function. If we find a way to disallow this string from being used with this function, no player should be able to target any players in the first place, and that's what this function does if you include this string.
Another part of this is that you can also use it to target entities and ultimately include every single type of drone or LFS which in all cases will be against the rules. You can do it like this
Spoiler:
If we find a way to restrict the ability to target other players with E2 (unless you're an admin) then we can ultimately put a big stop on abusive E2 until a workaround is found.
I have a second suggestion to this if you guys don't like the first. We could just restrict the ability to spawn in Entities with the sentSpawn function. This will prevent all players from being able to spawn in Entities with E2.
Post your opinions or counter suggestions here.

Can we just don't please? Like for the love of God that's what makes half of my friendly things like the radio and the box base teleporter work. Like i could seriously list the number of non rule breaking e2s that rely on these things are. Its a core of wiremod and e2.
List of my E2s that use this in a constructive manner -
Spoiler:
For real though, We have a multitude of admins on Sbox now, and if you see E2 abuse you have the power of bans and wirebans. If you are saying you need to restrict the entirety of E2 then you are admitting that all of the staff, including you are incompetent. We can have nice things and not have the server die because of admins, so consider actually using your powers for good rather then just whining about it on the forums.
A more relevant question would be asking if e2 should be restricted to trusted/members and above, not removing what makes the server nice. If We continue down this path the entire community will likely leave for the next greenest pasture that they can find. Keep in mind how many people loved Pac4 when you got that removed, and how many more it will drive away from LFG if you remove this. Like legit my entire group is considering leaving, and I bet others will too.
