When Voice Comms Attacks

Blunt · September 04, 2008, 11:47:14 PM

Can members please take note that whilst we appreciate good comms relating to the game,
and we don't mind a little bit of banter,
WE DON'T WANT TO HEAR YOU CLEARING YOUR THROAT,
GOING "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRMMMMMMMMMM" WHILE YOU THINK OF THE NEXT STUPID COMMENT,
OR TELLING US ALL YOUR PREFERRED BEVERAGE.

please use comms sensibly or you will be kicked severely

Clear my throat if I want to. :sad:

Jeez! Another grouch! What is it about comms this week? There's Oldie getting his knickers all twisted, now you shoutin' in RED already!

Go and have a lie down.

Yes, it's not useful having people having a chat while you listen for someone walking around.
Chatters - Wait till your dead
Admins - Don't go round kicking them, heavy handedness makes the game less fun.

Is there no admin command to play songs by steps to one specific player as a punishment? More fitting...they'll get the message people don't want to hear it.

Sure you can clear your throat but do you have to do it over voice com? What is next? That we need to hear you taking dump? :sideways:

Keep the VC garbage free while playing.

I'm with you on this Blunt.

It's worth noting that if you have your voice comms set to voice activation (I can't actually recall if it's an option in CS:S, as i've never wanted to use it for precisely this reason) it'll tend to pick up all this excess that other people don't want and broadcast it. Bind a button to push when you want to talk, and use that rather than voice activation please. It's also less likely to cut the beginning off your sentence. Same goes for Teamspeak et al.

No, my orange friend,
This is not voice activated accidental noises.
This is annoying teens who think that EVERYTHING they say and EVERY noise that they make is interesting and funny, and that we all want to hear it.

Which means that the rest of us can't hear the bomb call or anything else for that matter.

YOU knew I was joking.

If it makes a difference, I think you're bang on. I mute 'some folk' :sideways: as soon as they start their crap.

Trouble with muting players is, as admin you need to know what people are saying.
If I could mute them for all players it would help, although it kinda defeats the ethos of the community.
Spamming the comms with piffle is against the server rules and will result in a warning/kick/ban.*

No TB, nobody was kicked or banned, just told (several times) to be quiet, use VC's for game oriented chat, I think that, by the end of the night, the idea had begun to form in the heads of the perpetrators that it might not be such a good idea to inform everyone that coffee was yuk, and it was not ok to whisle tunes.

I was on a TF2 server last night where 2 or 3 of my team thought they'd quote Family Guy and tell everyone how much they live it and who their favourite characters were. If it had been CS:S I think I would have resorted to knee-capping them.
