Advert Antiflood
Description
Ever get annoyed by people spamming their trade advertisements in TF2 trade servers? The current antiflood in sourcemod would allow a player to spam an advert up to 3 times before he is throttled for flooding. This will detect lines of chat that are identical and limit the time allowed between them. Thus people that bind an advert to a key will only be able to display it once per X time.
This should have a huge impact on cleaning up the chat and allowing everyone to see adverts easily without having to deal with the spam.
I wrote this plugin with TF2 trade servers in mind however it will work for any game.
NOTE
If you have another plugin that manipulates the chat you might have to combine this plugin with the other. For example the simple chat colors plugin could conflict with this.
CVARS
sm_advertflood_time "5.00" Amount of time in seconds allowed between advert chat messages.
sm_advertflood_minlen "5" Minimum length of text to be detected (this will prevent people being throttled for various small things that they actually type fast. For example repeating the answer to yes/no question or making two smiley faces..etc)
