About The Pull Request
So this is a PR i have had testmerged downstream for like a month now because deathmatch SPAMS the hell out of admin logs. This makes doing admin work kinda annoying when all the useful logs are drowned out by people trying to smoke each other to death endlessly. I don't know how bad the problem is upstream, but I'd imagine TG admins would likely express the same gratitude to have less active logging in game, in the case something important happens that they need to see.
This should still keep logging things to the actual log files so the logs will still exist, but this merely suppresses the massive spam of logs that admins actively see.
Why It's Good For The Game
Lets admins do their job a little bit better being able to see when things happen in the logs. Deathmatch logs can be rather disruptive towards admins.
Changelog
