muting....

[RD-G2]

Hi, I was looking for the /mute script.. for my server.
I came upon a quote from a 2007 mod guideline post..

4. Free from Excessive "Punishment" -  A mod cannot contain any excessive administrative punishment functions such as muting, blinding, or immobilizing.  Power corrupts, and there is no need to give admins even more power.  I cannot stop you from doing this on your own server, but don't post it on the forum.

If I install this mute mod on my server and badspot finds out about this.. does that mean I'm a step into getting banned?

or does this rule only apply if you post a mod that has the /mute function on these forums?

(is this rule even applied still?)

which is a good thing.. b/c i rather mute than kick.

Kicking is better...

IMO muting is better, the players can play, but not talk stuff.
kicking is worse, because they'll come back and talk some more stuff.. and than.. I'll need to ban. =/
