AntiSpam plugin - /mute

I always though we should add a /mute command. It works wonders when someone is spamming a chat message, or using excessive caps. It should carry over to other servers like bans, else they could be muted on one war server, leave, then join another and be unmuted.

Just saw this. Good to know you're changing your ways

 

We tend to just use the /kick system for players spamming.
When /mutes are involved and DateDiff, it would become a regular issue that players are still muted, for whatever reason, or an incorrect Time was put it.
It is much easier to /kick users who are spamming.

 

If that is the case, they will then be temp-banned for up to 1 hour.
If they then return after that and continue to spam, and are reported on various different occasions for this, they have been giving enough warning and are obviously not going to stop, and will be permanently banned.

 

I see where this can come in handy but I do have to agree with Peas on this one. There are a few things that could go wrong that would be unfair to the player that is spamming. Pretty good idea though.

 

I've seen the /mute in action on mineplex and it's actually useful, really needs to be implemented on these servers

 

Not a bad idea. I would enjoy a /mute <player> command, but as GreenPeas said, the warn, kick, ban system works just as well. Still, I would love to see this implemented.

 

/mute would be a great add-on. There should also be a version for regular players, such as /ignore (player). Those two commands would be great for all the brawl servers.

 

I think this would be amazing. Its very annoying having to kick/tempban people who constantly spam.
A mute feature would be awesome!

 

I feel as if a mute command would be more necessary of a punishment rather than temp banning for one-hour. Then of course, mutes travel through all servers so they can't "bypass" mutes.

Overall, good idea.

 

This seems like a good idea. Still, new mods could abuse this command. If they're gonna add this plugin, I'd suggest mods can only mute up to a max of a day. Super mods and above can mute players permanently.

 

Actually in some cases it could be. There are some players I know that just keep joining after they get temp banned and continue to spam. We don't really like to ban players for continual spamming, but maybe people like that could be perm muted, or muted for a significant amount of time.
