Change vote kick for spamming

Instead of kicking someone for spamming it should be a vote mute. That's all.

 

They can still spam even when muted. They instead just spam [Player has been muted on this server] since that appears every few times they speak. Perhaps if a mute legitimately meant mute, I would like this idea, but right now I'd personally prefer to kick a spammer than have to deal with them spamming the muted message instead.

 

Instead, why not do this:
If people vote kick someone for spamming:

1. They get muted
2. If they are already muted they get kicked.

Vote kick cool down should be removed, muted players can not start votes.

 

this is doable but i see some issues. if you find someone's mute-worthy you can just personally ignore him instead of imposing it on everyone on the server.

as for the [Player muted/ignored...] message spamming, it should have a longer cooldown. like 24h :P

 

Back on topic, i like the idea of muting instead of kicking, expecially because in the spam-vote both teams vote, and more people voting means more trouble.

Also I would like the tittle of the vote change from "spamming" to "chat spamming". That would make its function more clear.
Many times I found players simply jerking around (like building and breaking things but not to fram coins; and buy useless but harmless items) and i thought since they was not technically "griefing" but spamming things, the "spamming" vote would be the indicate one, but nope. Everybody refuses because "he wasnt saying anything", and even the other team was in the vote too.

 

people can also spam the suicide button and flood the kill feed (if that's what it's called)

 

Once i did it and i got kicked. It can be annoying when your near spawn and you see red fireworks exploding near the tent, but it can only be done during the building time because of the instant re spawn time.

 

It's intrusive for people with shitty pcs like mine, the extra corpses and constantly updating kill feed help to make fps crap out. It also gives one team an advantage, allowing them to use the corpses as places to hide, mine fodder, things to block doorways/traps, etc.

It's especially annoying in TDM matches where they can spam the command as much as they want when the match begins for at least 5 seconds, allowing them to get in about 20 corpses. Had my fps drop considerably because of it.

 

You do realise the corpse explode from hitting the suicide button right? Or are they dying some other way?

 

I'm talking about the !killme command, i'm not talking about the suicide button. !killme will leave a corpse.

Spoiler: Image showing so

 

Never even knew of that, and people using it like that are definitely trolls of some sort. I just use suicide button.
