NEW-->https://github.com/Franqowsky/SA-Chat-Mute-Fix-v2

A Counter-Strike 2 plugin that fixes the "!" and "/" prefix bypass in CS2-SimpleAdmin's GAG/MUTE/SILENCE punishments.

CS2-SimpleAdmin allows gagged players to bypass chat restrictions by using "!" or "/" prefixes:

• Player gets gagged with css_gag player 60 reason
• Player can still send messages like !admin, /help, etc.
• Other players see these messages, making the punishment ineffective

This plugin blocks ALL chat messages from penalized players, including:

• Messages with "!" prefix (!admin, !help)
• Messages with "/" prefix (/admin, /help)
• Regular chat messages
• Team chat messages

• Real-time MySQL monitoring - Checks CS2-SimpleAdmin database every 5 seconds
• Complete chat blocking - No bypass possible with any prefix
• Multiple punishment types - Works with GAG, MUTE, and SILENCE
• Automatic cleanup - Expired penalties are removed from cache
• Detailed logging - Shows exactly what messages are blocked
• Zero configuration - Uses SimpleAdmin's existing database settings

• CounterStrikeSharphttps://github.com/roflmuffin/CounterStrikeSharp (latest version)
• CS2-SimpleAdminhttps://github.com/daffyyyy/CS2-SimpleAdmin plugin installed and configured
• MySQL/MariaDB database (same as SimpleAdmin uses)

• Ensure CS2-SimpleAdmin database is accessible
• Check MySQL credentials and permissions
• Verify sa_mutes table exists

• This is normal - server logs all attempted messages
• Plugin blocks them from reaching other players
• Check for 🚫 BLOCKED entries to confirm blocking

• Written in C# using CounterStrikeSharp API
• Uses MySQL async queries for database monitoring
• Implements both EventPlayerChat and UserMessage hooks
• Thread-safe penalty caching system

Database Integration:

• Queries sa_mutes table every 5 seconds
