You can selectively block commands using the [deny tag prefix](https://github.com/hangoutsbot/hangoutsbot/wiki/Access-Control-with-Tags#explicit-command-denial) and a [wildcard user](https://github.com/hangoutsbot/hangoutsbot/wiki/Users-and-Conversations-Tagging#user-tag-priority). Admins have access to everything regardless, so you will need to modify `/bot help` and combine...

quick comment: there isn't an official way yet since the reprocessor was only used in slack legacy and API. now would be a good time to figure out a pattern...

the context parameter itself is a kludge. the protobuf entity that we use for relaying the reprocessor id only seems to accept scalar values, in this case the reprocessor id...

further comment: what if you could relay before the broadcast? we do have a [`sending` handler](https://github.com/hangoutsbot/hangoutsbot/wiki/Plugin-Authoring-(2.4-and-above)#supported-eventshandlers) which catches outgoing message first before the bot sends it. it would more suitable...

types of messages: * user messages in a hangout * sending handler: NA, sent by other clients * allmessages handler: no metadata / standard non-bot event * relay: always *...
