Is there any way the !tradeads plugin can be modified so it will remember that you've turned it off in between sessions? It's annoying to have to deal with either the trade spam, or remembering to type !tradeads every time you start playing. It's more annoying when people rage that the "person" posting the trades isn't responding to them saying they want the items being advertised.

TBH I'm confused as to why it's enabled on general servers, as the whole /r thing would take quite a bit of time for someone in the middle of a game of dustbowl to deal with.
 
A couple months ago I made some edits to our donator plugin which included trial periods and remembering unusual hat preferences between connections. Unfortunately the feature to remember settings between connections from sourcemod resulted in a lot of problems such as crashes and the server freezing for over 10 seconds.

I believe that these problems may still exist. https://bugs.alliedmods.net/buglist.cgi?product=SourceMod&component=Client Prefs&resolution=---

I figured that some people might not like the ads so I've been increasing the interval from 30 seconds to 45 seconds. I would like to keep them in if possible though because it has resulted in more people using the forums.
 
Perhaps on regular servers the "Trade: Forum subject" can be changed to "Trade Forum: Forum subject" so it is clear to people that the trades are from the trade forum? A lot of people think someone is sending that message from in-server, and start raging things like "Stop spamming trades!!!11!one!".
