CSB Gag

Timed chat and radio gags that survive a reconnect, stored in a Trie and persisted with nVault.

CSB Gag silences a player's say, say_team and radio commands by hooking client_command() and returning PLUGIN_HANDLED_MAIN while the gag is active — the message never reaches the engine, so no other plugin can leak it back into chat.

Gags are keyed by SteamID in a Trie for O(1) lookups and mirrored into nVault, so reconnecting does not clear the punishment. A gag of 0 minutes lasts until the map changes; anything else is a real timestamp and expires on its own.

Inspired by the well-known Gag/Ungag plugin by ConnorMcLeod. Independent GPL re-implementation; no original code is reused.

Features

• amx_gag <target> <minutes> [reason] — 0 minutes = until map change.
• amx_ungag <target> and amx_gaglist (console table of who is gagged, for how long and why).
• Blocks radio spam too (csb_gag_radio 1), which is what most gagged players fall back on.
• Persists across reconnects via nVault; expired entries are removed on the next authorization.
• The gagged player is told, in chat, how long is left and why — so they stop spamming say.
• Respects ADMIN_IMMUNITY through cmd_target() and caps the duration with csb_gag_max.
