Yeah well, play some more then and win a few games in a row;)

Play some more?  Why do you think I run my own quake servers? 

oh well, just leave it be then.

Well... When someone spams something obnoxious at the end of a map, I just sort of feel sorry for them and move on.  I don't see how it would benefit me to get bent out of shape - that's prolly just what they want.

But anyway - maybe some sort of "vote mute" would work?

How about an "stfu" command? 

Pan: stfu floating turd
console: 1 vote to mute Floating Turd, 5 more votes needed
quadz: stfu floating turd
console: 2 votes to mute Floating Turd, 4 more votes needed

etc.

Dunno... Unfortunately with this method there are ways they could change their names and fool my scripts, which they would likely figure out eventually.    Hmmmm....


Regards,

i like this idea

I don't know how to interpret your question, "What's there to lose, freedom of speech?".

[the Crazed]

Hmmm... that's an interesting idea.....  I like the progressive time muzzle....

There's also another option.  Annoy the speaker to silence!  I forget who it was in the distant past, but one time there were a few PIT's on and this guy made a few binds like:

"Speak PIT!!"

"Good boy"

There were a few more too... can't remember them.  Anyway it was so hilarious that the PIT's pretty much shut up - everyone was laughing at them anyway.  Great stunt!  I've copied it in the past with some success, although sometimes I feel like I might be annoying the players as well, most seem to like it though...

Just a thought

My Advice:

[BigwigKEA]

Chatting in a game is my biggest skill. Don't limit this. 

[Om3ga]

i luv server spamming  muhahahaha! (i do take it easy tho!)

[the Crazed]

take it easy?  damn i forget your bind, but it was something like this:

<omega> .......I............................................................................
<omega> ................DON'T...........................................................
<omega> ...................................SPAM!!.......................................
<omega> ........(or when I do I take it easy)................................

Thats my ownij bind. My shoes need shining. 

[M^tster]

I personally think anyone speaking hate speech, with such great hits as-FU Ni**ER, and Dirty J*W!Should be muted for the rest of the map.Then if they continue, boot!Till they get the idea.Ive seen console do this a few times. Seems to work real good. 

[b0b{KEA}]

I think the stupid "I'm a fag" crap is just annoying and a waste of time.

[Om3ga]

ok, if majority of people is finding my shoe shining bind, offensive (see my last post), then i will take it down. im thinking of putting some less offensive binds. I really dont take the word "newb" offensive now, cause a newb to me is a new gamer, or quaker. ive been called a newb pretty recently, and i really dont mind if someone says i suck, but all i can say is that q2 rocks, and i havent even been playing gtaIII or qIII, due to the fun of playing q2.

I basically feel the same way you guys feel, but all i do is ignore it, and smile about it, and have fun.

gg peeps!

giving mute power to certain players would be cool.... but it seems like it would be kind of inconsistent, more based on your mood toward a player than him disrupting other people

 ... and therein lies the problem.

If it was a vote mute....then wouldn't it be based on the mood of the majority of  the players at any given time.  That would be a good thing right?  If, at any given time, people are annoyed by someone that is more interested in iirritating via chat than playing, then let them mute em!!  imho

Two things:

Pan, how many other people do you think actually know that your video clip is of "Chris Christmas Rodriguez"?

Secondly, like another poster has said, with all the mods and open-source code with Q2, how come no one's figured out how to "Ignore <player>"???
