Hear me out guys, I know this has been requested but I'd like to put my ideas in the cesspool of preexisting concepts. I think it's a good idea to bring back the update of players being silenced in wc. Why you may ask? Simple. Pros: - It gives wc a good piece of mind knowing that the the person deserving of silencing was actually silenced and didn't just run out of speakers. - It deters repeat offenses because it makes it clear to everyone (if the violation was not blatant) what can and can't be said in wc. - It's very satisfying to see someone deserving of silencing get silenced (at least in my opinion) Cons: - Possible spam in wc (phrases like "silence" "silence incoming" or "boom" after a silence takes place) - I can't think of anymore because it honestly just rules to have this update in wc So as we can see, the pros greatly outweigh the cons, it was a feature in the past and wouldn't be difficult to implement again, and come on, nothing's quite as funny as seeing someone say something naughty and then in big bold print have a red update appear saying that they are silenced. I rest my case.
I'm assuming you're also a fan of public humiliation? I'm not saying you're wrong, but I think there's a reason they stopped it.
No support. Ppl whine in wc about why so and so silenced. They didn't see the WC post, yet still question like it shouldn't have been a silence. Also, ppl began to purposely get silenced, just to disrupt WC.
In all honesty any disciplinary action should not be publicized, it's between support and the player by all means once it's occurred. As for players wondering if someone got silenced it's simple to go to the players profile and view their status banner to see if a silence was issued. This also frees up world chat from un-needed update posts about silences to keep it moving with more positive motion rather than the banter or opinions that come with the players from the updates. Just my 2 pesos ~ TG
People already talk about ******* each other and all sorts of weird sexuaI stuff anyway, if the update not can interrupt that for a few minutes I want it back right now
i figure a few mods made the request for this...they're prolly sick of debating silences with ppl who stroll in 2 wc & think they know the tou/roc better than the mods..
This peep. Showing up recently on lots of threads, all nonsense spoken. Guess the name Fruity is the mental state of. Good to know.
No support sorry. I have noticed far less fools getting silenced on purpose in a feeble attempt to draw attention to themselves since silencing became no longer public....this is a good thing.
