How to disable map introduction screens (MOTD)?

Solution 1:

The command cl_disablehtmlmotd 0 disables MOTD. Goes into the console, but will only work for unofficial servers and not Valve ones.

Solution 2:

You can't.

Source Engine has two types of MOTD: plain text and HTML. If client will choose to disable HTML MOTD, it falls back to plain text.
