In the future, as long as you can back up your ban with proof you don't need another staff member to confirm the ban. Banned. Thread closed~

@Sesh Time to adjust the volume on your profile music again!

I've always wanted custom backgrounds, pls make it happen. I don't think custom ratings is a good idea at all and would probably just be annoying.

If you want some tips for icons to use, they have to be 16x16 and preferably in .png format. A lot of our current ratings are from famfamfam.com: Silk Icons

Welcome, friend! Hope you enjoy your stay:)

An official Discord is not happening. If @Rhododendron would like to add something himself, feel free to do so. Thread closed~

Let me preface this by saying i have nothing against Discord, i think it's a lovely piece of software and i wouldn't mind if we used it. That being said, there are really valid reasons for why we don't use it over teamspeak. If anyone is interested in the other 2 thread that were made, they can be found here and here. Since they were clearly not enough to answer all the questions regarding the discord vs teamspeak debate, here's why we haven't switched in a bit more detail Being afraid of being spied on is ludicrous and that's not the concern (if it was, we would stop using google adsense, google stores A LOT of data that they then sell) but that fact that they store not only chat but voice is a pretty big deal to Silence, and frankly, i get his concern. Teamspeak removes the middle man. This can be discussed forever, but that's the reasoning for it at least. People need to stop bringing up the "but muh ip will be stolen on discord" argument, that's just not how it works and your personal data cant be stolen over discord unless they get hacked. Skype is different because it's peer to peer, but discord and teamspeak works essentially the same way. (except for the self owned server stuff, but you've heard that enough already.) My circle of irl friends use teamspeak, it works well enough for us to not switch over to discord. We tried, but the quality isn't quite as good, it gives you less options for both server operators and clients, and we can host it on our own for free (i realize that most people can't but it works for us). My voice chat doesn't work as well on Discord compared to teamspeak, but that's a really personal issue. Teamspeak barely costs anything, and while we might save a couple dollars every year on switching to Discord, the sense of security is clearly something Silence deems worth it. @Aegean expanded a bit on this so i'll just refer to his post here; To expand further, here are a few potential issues/kinks that would need to get sorted out. I'm sure there's more but this is what comes to mind right now. Hub integration would be tricky with discord, i guess we could give people fancy colors? Teamspeak offers icons, which is kinda nifty. We would most likely need to program a custom bot to handle server roles, basic moderation etc. That's a LOT of work for barely any gain. The only upside i can think of is the permanent and server wide chat, which is basically a barebones version of forums. Teamspeak barely needs any moderation (other than the occasional ban of a troll/micspammer). If Discord goes down, we're screwed.

Clarification Regarding Racial/offensive Slurs Being On Weapons
virr replied to Kypari's topic in TF2 Discussion
I like the idea, but I feel like it would be a nightmare for staff to enforce. Having a bunch of rules that are too complicated/annoying to enforce in the first place is never good, and just leads to staff ignoring the rule most of the time. That being said, i do believe it would be a good addition, if we could somehow figure out a way to do it somewhat efficiently. Maybe we could expand on the "No racism" rule to include nametags and player names? -
You would still need to meet the rest of the Moderator Submission Requirements I personally wouldn't mind removing the age requirement. Maturity is something that varies greatly from one individual to another and shouldn't be set in stone. Best of luck on your application @Amylicious!

I obviously can't speak for Aegean but what you're saying is correct.
-
Whoops, fixed.
-
I turned the plugin off for now @Bello, hope you dont mind. It was actually close to unplayable.
-
staff tags on forums are automatic, idk why its so slow to remove them

The problem is that we use different ones on different places. CS:GO uses Mod: Green Admin: Red DM: Magenta DL/CM/C: Blue Teamspeak uses Mod: Puke green Admin: Purple Dm: Magenta DL: Green CM: Gold C: Gray/Metal Forum uses Mod: Yellow Admin: Purple DM: Blue DL: Green CM/C: Darkblue And then whatever tf2 uses. It would be great if they were the same across all divisions.
