Players are getting server redirect messages while they are alive. How do we stop this?

Read the cvar list:

It's already set to that cvar. The issue only occurs on our Gungame Respawn server. Live players are still getting announcements anyway. We have 5 servers, so it pretty much blocks your entire view. We had to temporarily set it to show up on the bottom of the screen for now. Is there anyway to get these 2 plugins to play along?

already set to that cvar? you have to set redirect_announce_mode 2.
apart from that your question does not really make sense. you can't really die in gungame, you respawn after a very short time period. so people are technically ALWAYS alive. and if you don't want people to see announcements at all then just turn them off by setting redirect_announce 0.

redirect_announce_mode 2

That's the cvar it's set at. On our server, people are dead for a couple of seconds so they can see the announcement. However, for some reason, players that are alive are also getting the announcements randomly. We only want the announcements to appears during death and spec mode.

the hud messages are triggered and then stay for some time. so when someone is dead and the hud message is triggered for him and he spawns a half second later the announcement won't be removed, he will see it while he is alive.
this is no problem on normal servers but probably happens pretty often on your server, because with gungame you got much more dying and respawning than a normal server.

technically it could be changed so that people have the hud message removed as soon as they spawn but the cost-benefit ratio really isn't attractive enough to think about that now

I thought this was the case at first, however, it seems to appear some time after a player is alive. It does disappears as soon as players spawn, so this isn't the case. It's really weird, I'll see if I can get someone to give me a demo of it because it doesn't happen to everyone which makes it more strange.
