--- Quote from: Pulchritude on April 25, 2011, 10:02:48 PM ----How can you censor the chat? You'll have to ban or mute the guy spewing a gratuitous excess of cusses
-How are we to drama people? Will we have to record them, and have Badspot add a feature to the forums whereby you can add audio to a post? Do we have a chat recording ability so we are able to do so? We might not be able to hear them over other people.
-How are we to censor it for the soccer-moms who are afraid of their little darling child hearing someone say something inappropriate?
-Will there be a mic sent to you when you buy Blockland, and will those who have one already need to drive to Badspot's house to get them? Will there be a Blockland approved mic, or will everyone buy their own?
-What happens when there are thirty or more players, all trying to get heard by screaming? Even fifteen people is chaos.
-How are we to tell which voice belongs to who in a server with thirty players? You can't remember what everyone sounds like.
-Suppose the server lags. Instead of idiots typing "LLLLLAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!" You'll hear idiots screaming it.
-Consider the problem of team chat for deathmatches and voice commands and chat-related events and mods.
-Consider the problems for IRC.
-Consider the fact that there's both music and miscellaneous sounds on Blockland. If you're next to a brick playing loud music, will you have to shout to be heard over it? What about in a DM with thirty players, with bullet sounds coming from every direction?
-Consider the fact that adding a mute feature won't loving fix everything.
Over fifty prepubescent forgets all screaming conveniently into your ear.

Fix this stuff with a goddamn mute button
MillCzarr:
If the HOST/ADMIN has an option to force everyone to MUTE, the screaming, and music playing, would STOP.

How do you not get that a mute button won't solve every single problem with this stuff?
Take your mute button and fix all this:

the voice communication used in source engine games takes care of all of that in relatively simple ways, but it doesn't even matter because it isn't happening in-game.

-How are we to drama people? Will we have to record them, and have Badspot add a feature to the forums whereby you can add audio to a post?

You can record audio with Fraps / X-Fire and upload it to a media-website such as X-Fire or Youtube.

-Suppose someone has a cold and is coughing/sneezing constantly. You won't be able to hear anyone over them, so you'll have to mute them, won't you? Push to talk button.
-Suppose the server lags. Instead of idiots typing "LLLLLAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!" You'll hear idiots screaming it. Mute/Ban them.
-Consider the problem of team chat for deathmatches and voice commands and chat-related events and mods. Seperate key-bind for team-chat.

By the way, Voice Chat should be optional, and clients should be able to mute people client-sided.
