Remove clan tags from player.name

[Mötley]

I would like to request for a snippet to remove a clans bracket from 'player.Name, Then set the name.
Example: '[MC]Motley' to 'Motley'

I would also need to be capable of adding more characters as players will find ways to bypass " { }, | |, II" etc.

My scripting is not the greatest and something like this is very complicating, This would be very vital in my server build.

function AdminCmds( player, cmd, text ){

if ( cmd == "nametags" ){
        if (!text) MessagePlayer("Wrong Syntax! /"+ cmd + "on/off", player );
        else if ( text == "on" ){SetShowNametags( true );}
        else if ( text == "off"){SetShowNametags( false );}
        else return 0;
    }

You didn't read whats inside the topic, did you?

        else if ( text == "off"){SetShowNametags( false );}
        else return 0;
    }

Are you a robot? There is no callback 'AdminCmds'. This is also a month old topic. SetShowNametags is not even remotely related to clan tags. This is a ridiculous copy-paste.

Do I really have to do everything here?

KAKAN helped me with a really basic version, It worked just fine, I wanted to keep the topic open in case someone like S.L.C replied and he did.

Thank you S.L.C for the learning material , You really went technically with this, I really like this code. 

I will run a character detect encase someone does this

[Motley] as a username.. LOL
