Does the command actually opens an admin menu with options like kick/ban? If not, I think that would make it a bit more funnier if it logged the players trying to use those commands.

No the command currently only displays a chat message for what you set sm_af_message default is "APRIL FOOLS! XD" I can create a configurable menu in the next update.

I have now added a menu option. Thanks for the suggestion.
