He definately means eliminate.

From the context, I am pretty sure he means increase.

To make it more likely for a spy\spies to open gate: Use more and\or higher leveled spies
To make it impossible for them to open gate:

... Kill them!...

OK my bad ...

I don't want spy to have the ability to open gate.

You can decrease the chances to open gates, but you can't terminate the ability.

This is a little complicated but I think it might work - PULL THEY SPY OUT OF THE CITY BEFORE YOU LAY SEIGE TO IT!

Obviously he is referring to situations where he is on the defending side of them walls...

I can't remember the last time the AI used a spy to open gates at a siege, across maybe 200 odd turns. Maybe because I'm fanatical about keeping a spy in each city to ward off such incidents.

It is impossible to remove the spy's ability to open gates. Apparently one can reduced the chances of it opening but I don't know how to do that. Only way I could "remove" that ability is to simply remove the ability to produce spys.

Besides, it is somewhat rare for spys to successfully open gates. Typically, you need multiple spies or a uber spy to get a good % of opening gates. Even then it is up to luck.
