Host Force Mute.
-Will we mute people when their family is being loud in the background because they don't have computers in their bedrooms?
Well I'm sorry then, you will just have to wait until they calm down.
-How can you censor the chat? You'll have to ban or mute the guy spewing a gratuitous excess of cusses
Host Force Mute.
-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.
Record it yourself with a program. Badspot doesn't need to suit all of your needs.
-How are we to censor it for the soccer-moms who are afraid of their little darling child hearing someone say something inappropriate?
Get headphones, or use the headset's speakers.
-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?
Badspot will not wanna deal with this crap. If you got a microphone good. If you don't, tough nuts.
-What happens when there are thirty or more players, all trying to get heard by screaming? Even fifteen people is chaos.
Host Force Mute.
-How are we to tell which voice belongs to who in a server with thirty players? You can't remember what everyone sounds like.
That happens all the time in those big games like "Modern Warfare, Uncharted, and Halo." Just don't use Headset chat, if its a problem.
-Suppose there's an argument. Do you ban two people just debating worthless bullstuff, or do you mute them?
Host Force Mute.
-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?
Say "Sorry, but please use a button to push when you want to talk, please."
-Suppose the server lags. Instead of idiots typing "LLLLLAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!" You'll hear idiots screaming it.
Host Force Mute.
-Consider the problem of team chat for deathmatches and voice commands and chat-related events and mods.
Well obviously...
-Consider the problems for IRC.
What are you talking about?
-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?
Host Force Mute, or tell them to use headphones.
-Consider the fact that adding a mute feature won't loving fix everything.
Muting CAN fix everything.

Night Fox:
--- Quote from: MillCzarr on April 25, 2011, 09:27:16 PM ---Okay. I guess I cant call you Night Fox, since I don't know you. Oh I guess I cant call the president, Obama, since I don't know him... Hmmm, oh yeah I can't call my dog, Sophie, since I don't know her.

You can call me Night Fox, because that's not my real name, dipstuff.
Everyone calls the president Obama, it's the most formal thing besides Mr. President.
You do know your dog, unless you have a mental disorder.

It's simply not needed. Most of us use skype or teamspeak anyway.

Muting can fix everything, if you're to lazy to use such a function then you should disable Voice Chat all-together.
