Future Updates:

I will be adding Sourcebans support to submit bans from the general public right from the hud when Sourcebans 2.0 is released. I am not going to code it twice. Ban support for admins is active now.

Looking for additional translations! If you have or can translate the phrases, please do and post with the new translations. I will add them to the file and certainly credit you.

Notes:

This plugin requires Simple Plugins Core to work. It has NOT been included in the .zip file.

I added support for griefing cheaters from my Cheater Hater plugin. Admins can now flag a player as a cheater and which nulls anything but self damage and makes them die on any fall damage. For this feature to work you need Dukehacks 0.0.2.0. It is not required to have this installed and this plugin will work if not, but the feature will not be available. Additionally, this plugin will NOT autoload dukehacks. Since I wanted to keep it optional I have removed the autoload feature. Therefore if you do not use dukehacks with anything else, and installed it specifically for this plugin, you will need another plugin to autoload dukehacks. I have created a plugin to do just that and included that in the .zip file as well. You only need the autoload_dukehacks files if you have no other plugins that will load dukehacks.

There was a problem with the tf2.inc file that comes with sourcemod. I had to change that file in order to get it to work with other games. I also had to change the dukehacks.inc file to make it work with or without dukehacks installed. I included both files with my changes as well. Plugin is compiled in 1.2.3.
