I feel like client mute should be default

it could resolve chat spammers because then everyone could just block them and forget about it

doesnt seem hard to do, the addon already exists even

I don't like the idea of it but I'm not sure how to explain why

And if someone tries to talk to you, and you have them muted? What if it's serious, then you can't do anything about it. In all honestly I hate the client_mute add-on for this reason only, and I think it shouldn't become default.

nothing said in game is serious enough for this to matter

alternatively you can just ban people who spam the chat

shifting the responsibility for spamming off of the spammer and onto the people who don't mute them seems weird to me

Muting someone that intent on being a nuisance will just be encouraged to spam more or act out further through emitters, sounds, or bricks to get your attention if they can't do it through the chat.

unless it's a different kind of server, in which they can't do that (dms or gamemodes or something)

otto-san's post makes sense though

i mean like if the server is dedicated and there's no admins on or something

i don't like client mute cause over time you might end up muting people you forget you muted, and despite them changing/starting being serious, you wouldn't be able to tell and thus stop thinking badly of them.

Ki's an example here: despite being a known habitual chat spammer, if he wants to be on a server he'll withhold acting stupid - after banning him once on centhra's for spamming, he didn't do it again and actually dueled and chatted normally on the server, despite his reputation.
had i client muted him and banned him immediately on joining the server would have had one less dueler to play against, one less player to make the server populated and engaging to be on.

how about make it so the mutes reset when you leave/join a server so people don't forget about people they've muted, or make it so muted people's messages still appear in chat but instead it says something like (friend-san: [MUTED]) so what they're saying doesn't go through but people don't forget that the person is muted and there could be toggles that enable/disable that in case if the guy's spamming.

except he found a bug that let him build in the lobby and immediately spammed red cubes in it

nobot can back this up because he banned ki

It's probably not a good idea, because you could mute admins so that you can say "I had them muted, I didn't know not to do x" in drama to dismiss people.
Of course, you still can because some people do have the addon, but it would be much more common if the addon was default.
