"Silence" or "mute" mode
#1
I have been wondering, would it be possible to build a "mute" feature into AC? Here's what I'm thinking:
1. Someone is being racist
2. Pleople (or admin) ask him/her to stop
3. The person keeps going
4. The people or admin vote to mute the player
5. The vote passes
6. Now the player can stay and keep playing, but they can't talk. Most likely the server (but if not, maybe the client program) rejects everything that person says.

This could be for a set amount of time, as long as they are conneced to the server (re-connecting would get around this) or a sort-of blacklist.

The blacklist could be useful for players who are racist, insulting, or inappropriate who people would otherwise blacklist.

What does everyone else think?

or you could just ban them, and have a new p[layer who isnt racist come in and play instead.

You can use /ignore cn to ignore someone, i.e. not receive any of his chat or voicecom messages. Actually muting someone has been discussed already, and it does make sense (as someone put it, "we're okay with you playing, just shut up"). However, I'm not sure if that would actually be better than /ignore, since some people get offended by things others just find amusing, etc.

That and if it were a vote, people would abuse it like mad as they do the kick command. But seriously we already have an /ignore command, good enough.

Silence my face when it's popblockitdropping your ass into the pavement with a mouthful of lead from my good friend Mr. Shotgun! Where in the world is Carmen Sandeigo? Where in the world is a Shotgun when ya need one? Sing that with the proper melody and you got yourself a fking kinky rhyme scheme. ;)

The uk.myys.tk servers have a function to mute spectators so that anything they type comes up in teamchat, so as to not distract the players. So the idea is definitely possible to mute a cn, but really the ignore feature works just as well.

Racism? No, not /ignore cn its /ban cn.

No excuses.

The excuse being ones personal opionion. One person might think a particular comment is racist, the other, rather hilarious. Which is why the ignore feature is all thats needed. Ofcourse, if its blatant, there should be no hesitation in banning.

I hate communists and dislike socialism. If I ever become rich enough I'll invest in some major game or gaming community site/forum whatsoever and ban you all from it.

"Mute" all players so you can't see what they type:
[cubescript]/quit[/cubescript]
Unfortunately this mutes all players -- you'll have to wait for the new version for this to work with a cn argument.

I would love to have a /ignore all command. Sometimes when a server changes into a chatroom its annoying to have to /ignore cn every person. I would prefer that I would be able to silence all of them for myself that is...

Do you think it would make more sense to mute everyone who's currently on the server, or also everyone who might join at a later point? It might also make sense to have these as two different commands, so that "ignore -1" would mute everyone, but not players who join later, and something like "deafen" would just mute everything.

I'm pretty sure that there's a command to turn off the chat.

/consize 0 is the only one I'm aware of, and that has its side effects obviously.

You can easily ignore everyone.

[cubescript]
alias ignoreall [ loop i 20 [ ignore $i ] ]
[/cubescript]

and invoke it with /ignoreall

Should work

[cubescript]
alias muteall [ loop i 20 [mute $i ] ]
[/cubescript]

Also?

Or you'd just hear people going:
Thanks, man
Awesome!
I'm coming in with the flag!
There's no way sir!
Thanks!
