No, I wouldn't expect it to be written to the db. I would hope it to be a session only mute/gag/silence with lowest priority and an unmute @target of course too. Only reason I am requesting this, is that the normal basecomms allows the !mute @blue, and this plugin overrides that.

!mute @blue could be used to mute the non-admins on a trade server so you can explain the rules of an event.
!mute @all could be used to hush everyone so an admin has a chance to calm down a situation.

Of course this is your plugin so it's up to you. I am just requesting it.
