Hello,
I just wrote a small plugin which should block advertisements pretty effective and isn't bloated with hundreds of lines or configuration files. Couldn't find any plugin doing it that way, so I quickly wrote it.

Any URLs and/or IP addresses get blocked, messages from admins will be ignored.

Installation is as usual, download the AMXX-file or compile locally, put it in amxmodx/plugins and edit configs/plugins.ini.

i like it when a plugin is simple to use

Would be nice if you could replace the ip with **.**.**.** and maybe whitelist?

What about cvars to control if admins are ignored, or whitelist (like xPaw), or replacements (like xPaw), or punishments?

Well the goal is imo that people don't get bothered at all with such messages, so they get blocked.

and maybe whitelist?

Yeah, server-related links shouldn't be blocked. Insofar I would propose creating a string-array in the beginning, and the user can define his URLs there for minimum configuration effort?

replacements

Don't see that usefull for an anti-ad plugin, maybe for a swear filter, but the goal for spam messages is a block, not a replacement.

punishments

That might be a good addition, but I can't really imagine people continuing advertising when seeing it gets blocked, and additionally no one gets bothered by it.

How about catching is_user_admin(id) on connect, cause it does everytime check it if a player writes something in chat, and that happens usually alot.

Would be better to read from a file.

That's just your opinion.
I would rather see what the player said with the spam replaced with X's or something.

Some server administrators are strict on advertisement, and want punishment instead of blocking.

You need to remember that when you release a plugin, it is to be for the people and what needs they might have for the plugin.
