Code:
            MU(mob/M in world)

                set category = "Admin"

                set name="Mute/Unmute"
                if(M.ckey in Muted)
                    Muted-=M.ckey
                    world<<output("[M.key] has been unmuted by [usr.key]!","GA")
                    return
                else
                    Muted+=M.ckey
                    world<<output("[M.key] has been muted by [usr.key]!","GA")
var/list/Muted = list()
var/list/Banned = list()
var/list/ADMINS = list()
world/New()
    ..()
    var/savefile/S=new("Admin.stuff")
    S["MUT"] >> Muted
    S["BAN"] >> Banned

world/Del()
    var/savefile/S=new("Admin.stuff")
    S["MUT"] << Muted
    S["BAN"] << Banned
    ..()

When I allow it to load the lists, I cant mute/unmute properly.

A common problem people have with code like this is that after loading the lists, they forget to check if anything actually loaded. If any of those lists loaded as null, you have to re-create them.

How would I recreate them if its loaded already?

That's absolutely nothing like what Lummox JR said. What you need to do is, when loading the lists, check if they are equal to null. If they are, then you need to set them equal to list() so that they can be treated as lists.

How can I make them always equal list?

1) Load lists.
2) Check if lists are really null.
3) Replace any nulls with brand new lists.

I don't see what you're not getting here.
