Pretty much it is for a number of reason.

Well to start with having to explain to each user how to set commands does become annoying. Also with the ability to set default/global commands all users can access it allows us to keep random spam of the community. Also we run a trade center in our community and we wanted to add a chat based system also and give users the ability to type aka /sell /buy and allow users fast and easy selling there ingame items. With this also said we wanted to give are users a set command list rather than allowing users to create there own. It just means we keep the chat cleaner and have a more broder control.

There are other reasons but they all come down to simply giving us the owners full control over the chat box and custom commands instead of leaving it to our members.

And as for the fact no one has asked maybe not many people have experimented with the function of custom commands. Maybe most do not know it even exists as most people dont bother going into the options and looking for the new tab for vbshout. This is not just a guess its just what most people do. I have used vb for years normally I dont ever go into my options other than to change my signature or custom title and most people are the same so again another reason for global set commands. Also maybe because your explination on how to set custom commands was also alittle hard to under stand. Most people wouldnt understand that {1} simply allows an text imput after the / command.
