[Any] Limit Ban Duration

Requirements:

Sourcebans.inc - Required (To Compile)

Description:

If you've ever needed to restrict the time a player can ban for using sm_ban, this plugin is for you! As the plugin name entails, this provides the ability to restrict players from using ban lengths based on overrides/flags.

Note: Please note that due to the nature of the plugin, extensive testing is unfeasible. While initial tests ran fine and no errors occurred, I cannot guarantee this plugin is 100% bug free until I'm able to see it in action for an extended period of time.

Features:

Provides a command listener for the sm_ban command that supporting both SourceMod's default sm_ban as well as SourceBans.

The provided configuration file allows you to define your own ban lengths (in minutes), and restrict them to custom overrides/flags.

Using the feature sm_limit_ban_duration_reduce, ban lengths that are above what an admin has access to will automatically be lowered to the closest ban length that they do possess.
- This feature will also take a permanent punishment and lower it to the highest length the admin has, if the admin doesn't have perm access.

Using the feature sm_limit_ban_duration_maximum, admins will not be able to ban for any longer than the highest defined entry in the configuration file.
- For example, if this is enabled with the default configuration, a player may not ban for more than 4 weeks, aside from permanently.
- This feature can be combined with sm_limit_ban_duration_reduce to automatically lower a ban length to the maximum allowed.

If a user tries to issue a ban and doesn't have permission to use any defined lengths, the plugin will simply tell them they do not have access to the command.

ConVars:

sm_limit_ban_duration_enabled - Enables/disables all features of this plugin.

sm_limit_ban_duration_reduce - If enabled, the plugin will lower ban lengths if an admin doesn't have access to their specified length to a length they do possess.

sm_limit_ban_duration_maximum - If enabled, the highest entry defined in the plugins configuration file will be the highest amount any admin can ban for.
