Turn oiff text chat in server (Search not working?)

[sfunk1x]

Hey guys -

I simply want to turn off users ability to chat in the server. I seem to be getting a lot of abusive douchebags and just want chat turned off. Is there a server cvar that does this? I'd search, but obviously, search doesn't work - so I just thought I'd ask.

Also, would the chat words still be picked up by Mani/HLStatsX, etc?

TIA

Well to turn off chat you'd have to write a plugin hooking the say and team_say command and stop it from distributing to the other players.

Mani has a bad word filter built in, although it's useless because people always find a way around it. I'm not sure if there is a plugin disabling chat, never seen it before.
