Why was I muted?

[console]

I think the chatban for lengthy bind spam is working out pretty well.  The short bind mute is a lot trickier though... It has worked so far in many cases; but here's an example from earlier this evening where it looks like players were having a fun game and still getting muted:

These are the sort of mutes I would like to avoid... I'll try reining in the short-bind mute window a bit...  :eyecrazy:

Thanks for your explanation.

there are two different systems at work here, mutes for short binds, and chatban for long binds...

Okay I get it now. You don't want short common binds like :) to be 'chatbanned' because then nobody can say them. So if someone quickly reaches the five messages limit with his short smileys, the smileys themself won't be 'chatbanned' but instead the 'mute sytem' will just mute that person for 60 sec.

Maybe, since there are two systems at work, you could make it so that the 'mute system' uses its own window. Or is that what you meant by I'll try reining in the short-bind mute window a bit...?

Another thought. Is it possible to make the 'chatban system' also include the player names so that if Player01 is overly generous with his :)'s the chatban remembers it as Player01: :)
Then Player01 isn't entirely muted and anyone else who's name isn't Player01 can still say ":)".

Don't laugh please, I have no idea what I'm saying:P

Yeah, the "short bind" mute system has its own window.

Another thought. Is it possible to make the 'chatban system' also include the player names so that if Player01 is overly generous with his 's the chatban remembers it as Player01:
Then Player01 isn't entirely muted and anyone else who's name isn't Player01 can still say "".

I wish that were possible, but I'm using the q2admin chatban command to handle the actual chat banning.  And there's no way I know of to make a chatban apply only to a single client.

Man, what the heck did I start here? 
Console. my thanks go out to you for writing that script. I think it will help eliminate jackass's such as the person constantly using the "Tsk Tsk Nyuck, Nyuck" bind over and over. This particular person was as annoying as they come. So I'm very glad we won't be seeing anymore of these worthless spam binds. Thanks again!

You'll still see them,  just in moderation

Console,

I appreciate all that you do to run these servers, your involvement is what makes these servers different from others.

The binds don't really bother me, maybe because when I'm playing I don't really pay much attention to them.  Many times I don't notice text meant for me until the end of the map.

I do like to have the occasional smack talk with other players, I hope the binds limiter won't take that away.

I don't usually start the smack but if I get someone upset with my play, I like to give them a few of my binds.

I usually start off with the "Don't Hate - Appreciate"  then maybe a "Enough Crying Die like a Man" then if they start with how they can beat me in game or in real life I give them the "Don't Sing It - Bring It"

Of course I mix in my favorite every time I frag that person "You Just Got Dicked"

Its all in good fun as far as I'm concerned.  I just hope the bind limiter won't take that away.

It shouldn't. . . Unless part of the fun was being really spammy.
