[Any] NoSpam
Version 2.0.1.0
Servers Running This Plugin

Description:

Allows admins to block specific players from using HLSS/HLDJ mic spams.
Useful if you want to run your server with "sv_allow_voice_from_file 1" but prevent clients from using annoying spams without actually muting them.

This plugin can also be used to allow specific players to play sounds while having the server set to "sv_allow_voice_from_file 0".

Commands:

sm_nospam <client> 1 - Prevents a player from using spams
sm_nospam <client> 0 - Allows a player to use spams
(This description was wrong for a while, sorry about that, it's correct now).

Cvars:

sm_nospam_version -- shows plugin version

Install Instructions:

1. Place nospam.smx into your addons/sourcemod/plugins/ folder.
2. Update your adminmenu_custom with the attached copy if desired.

Notes:

Tested and working in TF2, should work in any game that has the sv_allow_voice_from_file cvar.
nospam_retro is included for people who prefer the old command types. If you don't know what this means, you don't need it.

ToDo:

That's a really interesting way to do that. Good Job.

Any chance you could add a cvar that would disable mic spams for everyone except for admins?

Very nice plugin, Are the players added to nospam saved in a database or can they simply reconnect and be un "nospammed" ? If not, you should look into adding mysql support for this. Maybe even add it to source bans if they have a api.

Still wondering about the question.

Yes, I'm going to make a plugin that auto-allows people with a certain flag.
Right now you could set "sv_allow_voice_from_file" to '0' and give your admins access to the plugin.

The way the plugin works is that it sends a fake cvar change (sv_allow_voice_from_file 1/0) to a chosen client.
When the client joins the server, that cvar is also sent to the client.
So, no it is not remembered.

I may possibly add the ability for it to remember players and check them when they connect

Any plans to create a database to log the steam ids too? For permanent 'nospam' ?

Yes, but I've got a lot of other things in my queue so it won't be for a week or two until I can get to it.
