Vocalize Fatigue

About:

This plugin has one simple purpose. To stop "PEELZ HERE" spam. You know what I'm talking about.

Some random dude joins your sever at start spamming his "IWILLZANNOYU" key which is bound to "vocalize PlayerDeath".
All of sudden you now got some guy playing Zoey screaming like hell all the time, which is not only annoying but it also reveals your position to the infected team.

The reason for this another-prevention-of-vocalize-spam is that I find kicking or banning people for use the vocalize commands is a bit harsh. Sure it is funny sometime. When timed right and at the right moment, but keep spamming pills here, got old a long time ago.

Blocking commands instead of kicking a player seems a lot more sensible to me.

Anyway so that is the reason for this plugin. I hope you will find it useful.
Also first plugin evar so be nice ;). A simple and short script.

Big credit to teddyruxpin. I was getting out in timers and stuff that weren't needed as I saw from Vocalize Spam Guard.

Features:

Blacklist
This enables you to disable certain vocalize command, to prevent people spamming these command.
Personal I blacklist the PlayerDeath command (Zoey's annoying scream), but it’s not enabled by default.

Prevent Repetition
Often people spam the same thing. Instead of just spamming different commands, players that repeat the same vocalize command will be flagged for such and get an extra time penalty for this.

Stop Vocalize Spamming
If players are not repeating them self but just spamming a lot of vocalize commands, they will after 5 different commands within 2 seconds suffer a fatigue, that render them unable to use the vocalize command.
Vocalize Gag
Players can be gagged, render them not being able to use the vocalize command at all. Command usage requires admin flag A (generic).
Usage: sm_vocalgag <#userid|name> [time]

Vocalize Fatigue Immunity
Can be adjusted so certain users don't have to wait to say another vocalize command, or can evade blacklist.

Known Problems / Things to Notice:

Does not kick or ban
This plugin simply disable the vocalize command for the abusing player. Check out Vocalize Spam Guard if you want to kick players for abusing vocalize.

Will not prevent scripted sequence
Such as Francis's "Aw hell" when players activate the car alarm. Nor when the game thinks a player should comment on something (Healing somebody, almost falling, etc.).
