Ok, I defined the var 'muted = 0', and I made an admin command to mute people, but my say command if doesn't seem to work!

mob
verb
say(t as text, mob/M)
set category = "social"
if(M.muted = 0)
world << "[usr]: [html_encode(t)]"
else
usr << "You are muted from speaking"

if(muted=<font color=blue>=</font>) with one it sets it to 0.

You don't need the M argument at all; take that out completely. What you should be checking for the muted var is usr, not M. So it'd look correctly like this:
if(!usr.muted)
  ...     // speak
else
  ...     // do nothing

It helps when you post code on the forums if you use <DM> tags around it, which will make the HTML show up as tags, not as actual colored text.

     GM
          verb
               shut(mob/M)
                    M.muted = 1

Try this:
mob
GM
verb
shut(mob/M in world)
M.muted = 1

It should work as just mob/M in world.

Dragon has tried and is more advanced in coding than you. If he has tested it out and it works, don't bother him Cra Zee:P
