Request for a new chat rule regarding keybind usage.

[Kittylicious 5]

Everyday I see keybinds being spammed of lenny faces or stupid crap like rekt and it's annoying as hell. so I propose a rule that only keybinds you can use are keybinds advertising trades or services such as brokering. No stupid lenny faces or omg get rekt keybinds. Sick of seeing them, they are cringeworthy.

 

ya or no?

 

if you vote no give a reason why you want to keep chat spam unnecessary annoying immature keybinds.

 

for staff to deal with it a warning to stop using the bind followed by the standard kick and ban protocol.

[realBelloWaldi 1245]

Haha @Kypari

Certain binds are annoying but I don't think its really necessary to make a rule against them. Spamming them is considered as chat spam which will result a warning and if necessary gag.

[Barmithian 63]

I use lenny face, but not that much. The only thing that annoys me is the get rekt when literally nothing special happens. If anyone spams any bind though, I warn them and then gag them. Its not really a huge problem. -1

[Kittylicious 5]

sometimes the binds are not used so excessively they break the chat spam rule but it is indeed annoying everytime they kill someone they must announce it to the server. When I was mod I stopped keybind spammers all the time so I really think there should be a rule supporting it for current staff to use.

[Forest 309]

Instead of proposing a rule that targets specific usage, I suggest proposing one that involves an additional general rule of spam that will apply to all Servers.

 

For example: "Do not spam in chat. Any [same] messages that are used consecutively three or more times is considered spam. Alternatively, any [same] messages that are spammed within 5(?) seconds of each use is also considered spam."

 

This is a more realistic rule that more people can agree on.

[Swift 11]

people trade on the servers? but seriously, it's not tf2 that has this problem every online game practically has this problem, because you know it's online they are going to do anything even if it's going to stop them or not. plus the trade server here are mainly played for fun and to talk to people, rarely i see people trade on the server

[Moosty 148]

we already have a spam rule, she's just upset about certain binds. if someone spams something we do gag them, but someone binding a lenny face or get rekt that they only use every few minutes isn't an issue

[Popcorn 0]

I honestly don't think that banning keybind usage should become an actual rule...I've spent a lot of time on Jailbreak#1 (including many months before I got into xG), as well as some time on the trade, unusual, etc. servers and I've seen that when the mods or admins are on said servers they pretty much always nip the issue in the bud quickly. They always warn the individual first, mute/gag them if they ignore the warning and continue spamming, and then, if really necessary, kick them from the server. I agree that binds such as lenny faces can get annoying to look at when they're being used extensively, but the staff seems to do a pretty darn good job of keeping it under control...I don't see it as a big issue at all. :/

[Kart 15]

:llama: why put restrictions on chat so what if its a piss off just ignore it :llama:

[Kittylicious 5]

exactly why should I bother?

 

why should I bother offering plausible ideas to make the servers more mature and welcoming?

 

if you so insist on wanting to see embarrassing keybinds go ahead.

 

Maybe you should rename the trade servers to something else as well since right now its falsely flagged as a trade server. I have sold 2 things there since I started cashing out and it was to the same god damn guy!

 

You may see me "being salty" on the servers because when I was a mod I was the only person to give a damn about keeping the chat family friendly and keeping the spam at bay, now all I see is discussion of porn and other mature subjects, constant insulting to others and just not a very welcoming place to play at.

 

I can direct you to rules 5,6,7 and 11 from the original general rules thread by Silence.

 

5. No trolling whatsoever. Verbally attacking a person will get you banned.

6. Keep all language PG- 13 on the servers, forum, and Teamspeak. *You will not be kicked/slayed/banned for cussing. However, if you are doing it excessivly to troll or abuse someone it will have repercussions.

7. Do not bring up or make remarks to political stances, religions, leaders, nations, or touchy subjects.

11. Racism and sexism is frowned upon in our servers, using it excessively or in an insulting manner is not allowed at all. IF a mod or higher warn you to stop (by gagging, muting or simply messaging you) , you must stop. This is the first and only warning you get and it must be in this manner. If you do say something racist or sexist, it must be very minimal and not in an offensive way and if not stopped after a warning, you will be punished severely. The person these comments are directed too and any staff member can at any time state that these are offensive and you must stop immediately.

 

The chat is never PG 13, theres always somebody insulting somebody else, I've seen religious debates which has led to one person being ridiculed for his beliefs, I constantly see the N word thrown around like its nothing regardless of if there is a black person playing the server, I would not blame him for leaving and not returning, I would do the same.

 

I am so sorry I cared for the servers that are quite frankly dying with my oh no amazing idea of trying to keep the chat mature. So sorry I keep coming here trying to partake in discussion and offering ideas even after leaving xG. I don't know why I bother. I suppose I am more loyal than I make out but nobody seems to agree with any ideas I bring up so its no longer my concern what happens to the servers.

 

Quite sick of the immature nature of the whole TF2 community and I can't even get away from it on the only servers I play, the xG ones. It's like an infectious disease that just won't stop infecting every little part of the game I used to love.

 

Perhaps we should just ban spawn camping to make the servers better, oh wait that already worked.

 

so maybe you should read that before you slam your caps lock at me @Moosty because I can guarantee if you were in my shoes you would not have near the forum activity I have nor would you give a damn about the servers on a game you don't enjoy anymore.

 

@Bach @kbrazz may close this and I can say for sure this is the last thread I am making except my upcoming raffle threads. I'm going to bed I have school and don't have time caring for these servers anymore.

 

Edit: Past being tired and in a bad mood the only other games I play with a community are WoW and hko. hko has strict rules and always full of friendly people and no swears, WoW while bad with the occasional guy tends to have a friendly community too. I don't know I just dislike communities full of immature swearing and insulting, I rarely swear myself and just feel out of place in such a place, used to ignore it when I played TF2 a lot but now it really stands out and it's hard to ignore.

[Swift 11]

alright kitty to be truly honest, you reason for playing tf2 is quite avarice. Don't blame TF2/Valve for your spending mistakes, you had control of that, you were sucked into buying tons of items that were going to ruin you at the end, it's your fault that this has happened to you. I actually feel bad for you that's why i tried my best to buy something from you. you should've just played the game for fun and not look rich in a game.

[Kittylicious 5]

thats true swift. I can easily get addicted to stuff. I know a previous thread I mentioned my main reason for hating TF2 is my spending habit but to be more honest its more around the community, the games updates and some of the weapons like dead ringer I don't think should be in the game. I guess I just want to see a more mature and friendly community but you can't change how a community is.

[Moosty 148]

You're right, if I had left the clan, cashed out of tf2, and hated playing the game. I wouldn't fucking be here being active, I would have no reason to be. The fact that you're still here claiming to care about the servers after going through all of that trouble to prove how bad tf2 is, it's honestly funny.

 

 

And since you seem to not be grasping the core concept of what's happening here, I'll spell it out for you.

 

IMMATURITY IS FUN, ITS LITERALLY WHAT WE DO ALL DAY. IT DOESN'T BOTHER ANYONE BESIDES YOU.

[Vertex 32]

Would be simple to make an server plugin that automatically gags the person for repetitively using the same message.

 

Also, there's an anti-flood plugin which comes with sourcemod which enforces an set delay between chat messages. The sm_flood_time cvar can be increased to enforce an higher delay to combat key bindings. One second usually works good instead of the default 0.75 seconds.

[Vector 138]

nah it shouldn't be a rule, but the fact is, can we PLEASE make a plugin that perms everyone who uses the lenny face emoticon? Christ i can feel the cancer through my monitor when all i see in chat is LE LENNY LE LENNY LE LENNY LE LENNY LE LENNY LE LENNY LE LENNY LE LENNY LE LENNY LE LENNY LE LENNY LE LENNY LE LENNY LE LENNY LE LENNY LE LENNY LE LENNY LE LENNY LE LENNY LE LENNY LE LENNY LE LENNY LE LENNY LE LENNY LE LENNY LE LENNY LE LENNY LE LENNY LE LENNY LE LENNY LE LENNY LE LENNY LE LENNY LE LENNY LE LENNY LE LENNY LE LENNY LE LENNY LE LENNY LE LENNY LE LENNY LE LENNY LE LENNY LE LENNY LE LENNY LE LENNY LE LENNY LE LENNY LE LENNY LE LENNY LE LENNY LE LENNY LE LENNY LE LENNY.
