Basecomms Perm Muting Players

[Forgotten]

Basecomms seems to be permanently muting people for no reason, I spoke to ev0 about it and it only showed up as a session mute but it shows up as permanent for players and for admins using /admin.

collector can confirm

Is this new?

SourceBans was updated 3 days ago (which includes SourceComms):

The reason 'Muted through BaseComm natives' means another plugin is doing the muting.

Since the SourceBans update, only the following have chanded:
- New SM gamedata (to fix CSGO update)
- New RG

Neither of which should have affected muting.
I'll need to track down the cause in some way.

Seems to be new ill do some testing tonight to see if i can break things again.

If I remember correctly, all the players that were perm muted had numbers/weird characters in them.

For example: collector's name has a 0 in it in-game (c0lectOrrrrrrr - ingame name)
Another persons name that was getting perm muted was c1ove
And then there was ⓜⓡ.ⓚⓡⓐⓑⓢ with that weird name.

Don't know if having numbers/weird characters in your name would effect it but yeah.

Its odd that this happened recently and not 3 days ago when sourcecomms was updated.

Anyway I wen't through WardenTools and made some updates:

However, I don't think it will fix this specific issue. (But it possible might).

My next approach is going to be going through every plugin that mutes at all and adding a little log message to them.
Then I can match up the times of the mute and get an idea which plugin is actually responsible.

Plugins we run using basecomms 'mute' functionality:

• smac_cvars
  
• sbpp_comms (this is sourcebans sourcecomms)
  
• wardentalk2 (this was just improved/merged into wardentools and is no longer a used plugin)
  
• basecomm (this is a standard sourcemod plugin, the bug won't be caused by this)

I asked a player if they could reconnect with the mute on them, they did that and after reconnection they are still muted.
