Reasons to have voice volume off:
-People that are being loud or have annoying voices
-People using slang or being rude to players they kill
-People who repeat what they're trading in voice chat over and over
-People who spam music (though these are mostly muted or banned)
 
Reasons to have voice volume on:
-The rare off chance that someone is only using voice chat to talk to me, rather than text chat
 
This is just kinda my mindset right now... I just don't like constantly having to mute people when I can just have my volume off, because people talking in voice chat is almost never positive when I hear it.

It's always a good idea to issue warnings through all chat above all else, some people keep mic chat off for a variety of reasons- this can range from anything to needing to keep their volume low, parents not wanting younger kids talking with strangers or hearing them, having company over, or simply just not wanting to hear people. They can't really be blamed for this because there's so many reasons people could want to keep things down or not hear others. Of course, as said, if they ignore you via text and keep up whatever it is and they don't respond to voice either then feel free to punish accordingly. At least, this is how I usually see things.

I've discussed with rejects quite extensively in the past about the issues, and he promised me issues like this won't happen again, and he knew he was on his last straw. We will discuss among the other higherups and make a decision asap.

Minecraft will be worked on in 1 week! Thanks for the information :)

Sv_pure is left off I would guess to give people a more customized experience. Could you give an example of any mods/skins that give an unfair advantage? I wasn't sure if there were any.

As far as I know, there are no skins capable of adding things such as lazers without rendering a map-long lazer model in every time you fire or charge a shot. Which can cause technical issues if multiple people, let alone ONE person, uses it.

Good luck with this one "shut up you stupid 4ner"

Have you ever felt that the TF2 servers are losing their energy? Or that your beloved, precious inventory just wasn't cutting it one way or another? Everlasting boredom that just creeps up on you unannounced and makes you feel... Overall depressed to some extent...?
 
Well say no more!
 
Thanks to the lack of "sv_pure" in xG servers, I am proud to announce that I am now building an occasionally updated pack of skins and sound packs just to give your game a little more spice so you can have just a little more fun getting those dank ass head shots or just fooling around with friends on the daily. Since there weren't many weapon-based materials implemented in the servers' list of small whatsits and whatnot, I decided to do everyone a favor by making these skins I am using just a little easier accessible to the group.
 
BUT, this pack is still in the works as I am testing these skins and sound packs out for any bugs and potential threats before adding them to a list which will be updated at least once a week with anything I can find by my leisure. Anyway, enough chit-chat. Here's this week's batch.
 
1.Splatoon Soundpack V.2
Splatoon Soundpack V.2 (Team Fortress 2 > Sounds > Packs) - GAMEBANANA
 
2.Blundered Rifle
Blundered Rifle (Team Fortress 2 > Skins > Sniper > Sniper Rifle) - GAMEBANANA

3.The American Dream REDUX
The American Dream REDUX (Team Fortress 2 > Skins > Multi Class > Pistol) - GAMEBANANA

4.Stream Shooter
Stream Shooter (Team Fortress 2 > Skins > Multi Class > Reserve Shooter) - GAMEBANANA
 
5.Raging Bull
Raging Bull (Team Fortress 2 > Skins > Spy > Enforcer) - GAMEBANANA

6.The Compensator
The Compensator (Team Fortress 2 > Skins > Sniper > Sniper Rifle) - GAMEBANANA

7.The Jury Rig
The Jury Rig (Team Fortress 2 > Skins > Packs) - GAMEBANANA

8.The Splatterscope
the Splatterscope (Team Fortress 2 > Skins > Sniper > Sydney Sleeper) - GAMEBANANA

9.COCONUT GUN

10.Current Event AWP V2

11.Assault Cannon FIX

12.Lancer
Lancer (Team Fortress 2 > Skins > Medic > Crusaders Crossbow) - GAMEBANANA

All of these are to be extracted into the custom folder of your TF2 game. I am probably going to keep adding 12 at a time unless I can find more OR someone sends me links to more. Have fun, guys. ;)

xG-News - Haha Suhh Dude! An April Update!
@Aegean

i think forest intended that you would first guess the person that was quoted, and then add a quote for the next person to guess it all in one post lol you're all doing it wrong

Probably @Pepper since hes from texas and racist 
guess this one "wattap invaders"

To re-iterate:
 
1. Guess the person's quote from the previous poster
2. Drop down a few lines in your post
3. Input the quote/mimic that you want someone else to guess
3a. Tag whoever you think should know it, if they're the next person to guess (and they're wrong) rate their post "Drunk". Responses are first-come, first-serve. If the tagged does not guess before someone else does, then the game carries on
4. Rinse and repeat
 
Glad to see y'all having fun, but these are some pretty basic rules and it makes things a lot easier for everyone if you play along ;)
 
For reference, this was the last legitimate quote/mimic:

Quoting myself from a previous thread (source) because this is somewhat relevant to the whole "make a new board" concept. Also, I'm not sure how anyone could possibly be "off-topic" when posting in the General section of forums.
As Silence so eloquently put it:
 
As for the whole anonymous board, it's pretty well exactly as Silence put it back in the day; a 'Bad Idea'. The concept was that it would allow Players to speak out against abusive Staff without fear of being judged or scorned. That being said, it just turned into a place where people would fling insults, flame each other, and just spawn racist or offensive shit-storms that no gaming community would want to be associated with. I don't think it would be the best idea unless rules were to be put in place that rule against any derogatory, offensive or graphic content; however, even then I would still be hesitant because we're a Gaming community, not a discussion forum for Politics/Religion/etc. If anything, see if you can convince @Rhododendron to create a separate blog or something for that kind of content. The Xeno Gamers' forums should remain focused around gaming and other creative interests in my opinion :coffee:

Honestly something like that can be posted in General every once in a while, but we can always discuss if we think we need an off topic section

~Closed for now, will post something in general once a decision is made.

@DeathGod

I stickied the bug report thread, this thread can stay though until issue is fixed @Rhododendron

Closing this now, this is clearly just a troll.
