Even if it is done 'professionally', not everyone wants to hear it. The conversations our players have are more important than someone blasting music over the mic out of nowhere.
Staff aren't able to client-side mute users as hongkongatron mentioned in the server earlier today, so we would be forced to listen to it while other players would have the freedom to mute the user playing the music if they didn't want to hear it.
However, if a vote is made and it passes I don't see anything wrong with them playing their music.
With that being said, I'm going to have to give a heavy -1 to this.

I think that xG's TF2 servers would be a little more fun if people were allowed to bring Virtual Audio Cable and Foobar to the server and mic spam whatever music they have saved. I got the idea from Neonheights. But I feel like if we handle this the right way, it can be a lot less obnoxious here than it is over there. What do you all think about it? Should we go for it? And if not, how come?

Policy on slurs will remain unchanged.
However, if if it's all in good faith and everyone is enjoying themselves, please use lesser punishment (admin discretion) unless it becomes excessive.
If anyone has any inquiries, please feel free to dm me on discord.

I feel as though there's a bit of confusion regarding slurs. What's allowed, is one allowed if used in a specific context, etc. I'd like to hear people's thoughts on what they think the slur rule should be.
I would like to restrict all slurs for equality's sake (racial, homophobic, etc) but no banning, just extended mutes.
What are everyone else's thoughts on this?
nigga is not getting allowed

I would like to announce that we're going to be bringing the hour requirement back and set at 8 hours every 2 weeks MINIMUM.
I understand that you all have lives outside of xG and I would not like to force you all to play as much as possible and have therefore decided to require a low 8 hours. Thank you all for understanding!

No, if you're uncomfortable with "nigga" in the servers, feel free to warn.
I said I personally don't warn for something like that when it's clear there's no discourse between the two people because the whole point of being staff in a server (in my opinion) is to make sure everyone is having a good time. If there's immature dialogue but it's all in good fun, I tend to not ruin the atmosphere. That being said, I won't let racism run rampant, and there is a difference for most people between the hard R and nigga, but it's not the end of the world if you feel necessary to enforce them the same way.  

CONGRATULATIONS!

Make me DL

😮 @Tekk

Not going to a higher punishment isn't that bad of an idea but the thing is staff never really take extended mutes seriously and it just ends up with the same person receiving tons of 30 min mutes because people don't bother checking or caring about past ones which makes the punishment mean almost nothing, which is what happened a lot back in the day when it came to extended mutes for mic spam.

It was meant to be a joke 😠

If people don’t like slurs they can mute someone or turn off chat, I feel the same way about mic spam by the way. If one slut will he allowed, all of them should.

To be honest I reckon I'd still get fired if I called my manager a "nigga" or "faggot"

Don't perm people if they say noob please 😔😔

Racist slurs just warn them, mute them if they are directing it at someone maliciously. 

Any other slurs take with a grain of salt, mute if they are directing it at someone maliciously. If someone says f*ggot to his friend on the server and no one bats an eye, there's no point to mute or warn them.
That is personally my opinion.

I can't believe people are voting yes for this
 
the whole point of tgh is ment to be maps based on video games and people playing on the maps casually and just doing whatever, making the server have random ass deathmatch maps ruins the entire point of the server.
 
The servers not ment to be deathmatch server #2314, it's trade gaming history, for gaming maps. Random people who join are going to be more likely to stay if we play on cool gaming maps instead of generic deathmatch maps, like if back when i joined tgh the server had deathmatch maps and when I found tgh it was on a random deathmatch map I probably wouldn't have even joined the server at all.
 
also if this vote actually goes through I wouldn't be surprised if we get a ton more random deathmatch maps added to the server and half of the servers map list would end up as random deathmatch maps more than actual tgh which to me is just a joke
 
The only non gaming maps I would like to see come back are both cyberpunks and any non gaming maps that were on the server in the past because they actually have history with the server. (with the exeption of masscc being kept as a map we can go to with a command by a higherup or whatever)

It won't be just random trade maps. It'd be proper deathmatch maps, as stated on my post 🙂

Whilst this may be the most controversial poll there's been in a while, I'd like to hear opinions about it.
As you all know, the population for Team Fortress 2 as a whole isn't what it used to be. This also means that less custom maps are being made and very few of which resembling old video games (that also fit the TGH Deathmatch gamemode)
TF2, as some would say, is getting stale due to a lack of new content. I would like propose that we start adding non video game history maps to TGH in order to keep the game fresh and exciting. 
Here are a few maps (minor details may need to be changed) that I've found that may interest you all:
Cobblestone Courtyard | Team Fortress 2 Maps
GAMEBANANA.COM A Team Fortress 2 (TF2) Map in the Deathmatch category, by sp744 Download : Sanctuary | Team Fortress 2 Maps
GAMEBANANA.COM Overwatch Nepal Sanctum Layout... A Team Fortress 2 (TF2) Map in the King of The Hill category, by Alfa1337 (loosely based on Overwatch Nepal Sanctum anyway)
Download : koth_frostbite_beta2 | Team Fortress 2 Maps
GAMEBANANA.COM A Team Fortress 2 (TF2) Map in the King of The Hill category, by Spartan1179090 Let me know your thoughts!

As long as you don't add trading plazas and other server's main maps it should be fine, I even have my own custom map I could try to get added, though it's practically put together with duct tape

Thoughts on that going in the rulebook?
