Can we code in an IP mute? this would eliminate mute avoiding, and if we just made it so that who ever gets muted is saved to a list the who ever is on that list shows up on the unmute. Then when you unmute it can "del" that's username from list as well as unmute.

Make it so that if you're muted and log out, you get banned upon logging out. Also, and that muted people change their status because I've muted people before and then they just started spamming "Noob is back! Noob is back! Noob is back!"

Okay.
Mute and UnMute, now mute the player based on their IP address.
It prevents them from using the status verb as well.
