This rule is so low. We should not mute people because their voice is high pitched. I cannot believe this is a rule, i know it is on alot of other communitys but why ours. We were ALL young at one point and i don't know how many of you gamed when you were young but i did. I was told to "Stfu" and told to "Grow balls" because i was younger then the other gamers. We are a mature clan, we shouldn't be acting like this. I'm sure i'm not the only person that feels strongly about this. I will not mute people because of the tone of their voice, that is completely discrimination.
When i'm administrating TTT i notice alot of younger kids join and play just fine. When they talk they are barked at to get muted and to shut up. Most of the time the younger kids are more mature then the older ones. We are trying to expand this community as far as possible and telling these kids to "Shut up" because of their voice makes them feel unwanted there! That drops the population of our server(s). I don't know if this rules apply's to the other CG servers but i only play on the TTT one and i'd really like this rule to be removed.
If someone is spamming, flaming or trolling on the microphone they will get muted young or old.
Please look into this, think about it. I'd like for this to change.
Thank you. ;D

But in all seriousness I agree parrot

Yes, i'm sorry. I mean't CLAN. I'm used to being in community's, its a habbit. Back onto topic.

As far as I know the rule is not aimed at squeakers specifically, but instead at anyone who is excessively annoying to the majority of the server. It just so happens that squeakers annoy a lot of people so they are muted more often than not. Personally I hate the whole idea of mics built into the game, and when I gamed as a kid we didn't have that you had to use a third party program, which in my opinion is a hell of a lot better.

Pretty much this ^
Though I understand your view and can agree on it slightly.

maybe they should just be less annoying trollface

maybe they should just be less annoying trollface
Sounds like a good way to solve the problem trollface

Could everybody please get it through your thick fuckin' skulls that we are NOT A CLAN
back on topic
first of all their voices are annoying and nobody wants to hear an 11 year old talk on the mic about mostly irrelevant shit.
secondly its an M rated game, they shouldn't be playing it in the first place...
thirdly, Wait for your damn balls to drop and don't whine
-
we are a clan in disguise
-
I really don't care.
They're annoying
They aren't mature
and ultimately just muting them is the best choice.
-
This rule is so low. We should not mute people because their voice is high pitched. I cannot believe this is a rule, i know it is on alot of other communitys but why ours.
no no no..
we SHOULD mute people because their voice is high pitched because they DO need to stfu, nobody wants to hear them and they shouldn't be playing an M rated game. so basicly...
I really don't care.
They're annoying
They aren't mature
and ultimately just muting them is the best choice.

sorry if im being a dick but seriously...

Lol u mad bro? trollface
But I agree with changing the rule.
The only time you should mute them is if they are fucking annoying, not if they just have a high pitched voice.
" M rated game"
Garrysmod isn't rated. smug

1: squeakers hardly ever have anything interesting to say and they are annoyng as fuck
2: FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU SQUEAKING!!
3: they almost always have extremely shitty mics.
4: We are a community of people who used to troll but don't do that anymore so, that behaviour comes back alot when squeakers are on.
5: it is garry's mod you either mute them or mute the ton of people complaining about them.

I was never a troll trollface
But yeah, thats the reaction on EVERY squeaker.
I only mute people when they are
a ) trolling
b ) annoying to majority
c ) micpspam
or
d ) are goddam squeaky ( not 13 or 14, but 9 )
-
I'll be the first to say even as a squeaker, I fucking hated squeakers... I never talked over the mic until my voice cracked and matured. There's no reason to talk when you're essentially unable to understand them or they can't show signs of maturity.
Garrysmod isn't rated. smug
For the record, GMod is based off of Mature & Teen games, therefore making it M.
-
To be technical, the rating system is a recommendation on what is or is not suitable for certain age groups, not a discrimination of what one can play. It serves as a reminder to parents what their children could be playing. Whether or not they are allowed to play the game is purely up to their parents choice or stupid mistake (what i mean by that is just not knowing anything and letting the kid play the game)
Anyways, slightly more on topic here..
Squeakers should be muted. They are annoying. But for me, I find the term to general. For the most part I just go by if their voice pisses me off then they obviously deserve a mute (and if it pisses of a majority of the servers) I never went through being a squeaker, always had a low voice since I started playing. But for the most part they'll just have to wait until their voice matures. You can't really give much sympathy considering they are being allowed to play a game with a mature rating.

Welp, just a suggestion but stop being so aggressive. I know you want to rant and complain and stuff, so do I. But it can make misunderstandings 10x worse and makes you look like an asshole bro. *kwaurtz cough*

Was joking, and I kind of figured, but I was pointing out that it wasn't illogical to look up to someone who took control of the situation by attempting to scream at everyone.

1. I mad cuz this is a stupid thread
2. The high pitched voice IS fucking annoying and as Jorgen said, they never have anything interesting to say
3. *facepalm*
This thread is to prove that the little kids who play in our servers have the right to talk just as much as you do! They are people and should be treated with respect.
IF YOU DON'T LIKE SOMEONE'S VOICE OR WHAT THEY SAY USE THE F---ing "Player List" mute option.
/facepalm.
And as of the game rating discussion, why does it matter if its a E rated, T rated, or M rated game, if you can handle the fantasy violence, blood, gore, language or drug use then you're fine. I played M games when i was 10, wheres the problem there?
You telling people to not use mics because of their voices or to grow balls is immature of YOU not them. You instigate this shit and pisses them off, ofcourse they're gonna rage at you, and you deserve it. (You as in anyone)
Edit: And i will NOT mute people because voice. I mute people on reasonable actions, not some retarded rule.

immature of us to tell them to fucking wait and grow up before using their annoying ass voices over the internet?
you really haven't given me any real reason to change my mind,
you haven't given any reason for me to give a crap about why they should be able to talk or not,
basicly all i've heard is "they should be able to talk just because"
-
back on topic, i dont mute squeakers on the spot. i see if they are trying to be helpful and not just scream about useless stuff. but the majority of squeakers usually do the latter choice, therefore getting muted
-
Think what you want blood.

They need to use their mics to call out people when they're playing too.

You don't need a mic when you are playing, the suitzoom key works just as well. I rarely ever use my mic on TTT, but I regularly call people out. These kids should learn their way around the keyboard (True story:I learned how to type by playing TFC and CS as a kid and needing to type out info to people.) , "needing" a mic is never an excuse to let someone annoying the majority of the group talk.

thats my point, a majority of squeakers do nothing but spam useless shit with their incredibly annoying voices and then tend to get muted for doing so, and then think they have the right to COMPLAIN about it with their horrible grammar
but there are SOME squeakers that do help (however very rarely) at some points.
and btw you're not helping your point by not giving me a reason to change my mind, simply saying
Think what you want blood.
is the same thing as losing and practically giving up your intention to get this rule changed.

Alright, i shouldn't say "need" but it's very useful. And yes, the suitzoom menu helps and typing fast helps to.
(To avoid double post)
Edit: I'm not giving up my intention to get this rule changed. If you really think kids shouldn't use their mic's that is just fine. You have no more reason to post here then, you've given your two cents.
I'd like to higher ups to read this and make a decision.

you still think we're a Clan?
fucking rediculous...
what makes you think a "higher rank's" opinion is any more significant than mine?
trying to avoid calling you such names as "dumbass" but you're making it hard.

I'm not going to flame the thread Blood, you may if you like. smug
I added the poll.
-
change the rule to only annoying people, and not specifically squeakers
-
Still no reason to say yes.
also im pretty sure this should be in the "suggestions" or "Debate" sections
-
I put it here because it should be changed on all the servers.

So you would be O.K. if you couldn't use your mic to talk, me assuming you have one?

Quoting this for the sake of the topic considering no one replied to it. I think I made a good point.
Although I'll tell you, the rule will likely not change at all. It's always been this way and is agreed upon by a majority of the admins.
Also what I put in red is what most people go by anyways.

That said.
I am a bit disappointed. Lets not wonder into the grey area, where people can construe statements as attacks, ok?
I do not automatically mute "squeakers" even if they seem to have taken a class on squirrel speak:
(http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ll83ozvp9h1qjoqhho1_500.jpg)
Basically this: Is the guy speaking annoying? Does he mike spam? Are there others who wish him to be muted? Is his talking harming the game play? IF so, then mute. IF not, then do not mute. How difficult is this?
-
Because as soon as a "squeaker" talks everyone says "MUTE" "Admin mute him!" "Omg my ears" "Holy shit drop your balls" "stfu kid". Thats why i want the rule changed and to have everyone treated the same, with respect.
-
There never was and there never will be a rule to mute squeakers. Its just simple as this: If people find a person to be annoying then he/she gets muted. It does not matter if he/she is 5 or 20+, if he/she is annoying a mute is handed out.
Its just that squeakers in general are found annoying, those that dont mic spam and are good players can usually talk, since the players dont find that annoying. The mic spammers and useless bs talking ones are annoying, and get muted as such.
The same rule applies for EVERYONE, if you are a 17 year old mic spammer you get muted, if you are 43 years old and found annoying you get muted, no matter how old you are, the mutes are given on a basis of who is annoying and who is not.
Now IF we would not mute squeakers then the more mature playerbase would get pissed and would dump our servers for some other server. We dont want that.
Even IF people kept playing on our servers they would just use the solo mute option, this however would ruin the game. Lets say a squeaker calls someone out and then kills them and gets a traitor weapon. Now since some of the people have this person muted THEY WILL NOT KNOW THAT HE KILLED A TRAITOR AND HAS A TRAITOR WEAPON, then they will kill the squeaker for having it. More issues like that will pop up if half of the server has someone muted.
Overall not muting squeakers because they are annoying would kill the server population and also make the game harder to play and admin.
Still i will repeat myself for what i said at the start.
There is NO rule thats just vs squeakers. Its a general rule that applies to all annoying people. Annoying is defined by the players that are on, we cant change that, even if we wanted to.
Now lets end this stupid argument that has popped up so many times!
The fucking end.
Also sorry if i came over as an ass but it is very annoying to have people bring up topics (that have already been solved before) and pull invalid arguments out of nowhere.
-
Edit: Nvm.
-
There is a rule against squeaking symbolzz... as towards get a higher upp in here how much higher upp do you get than the guy who makes the rules? in other words the head admin for the ttt server.
Anyways as I said previously this is not gonna change because CG likes the majority better than the minority, what I mean by this is I mean "every1 screams mute this kid!!!!" yes this is a majority which means we must tend to that majority if we want to remove mic spam, the minority in this case is the squeakers.
-
There never was and there never will be a rule to mute squeakers.
so sorry if i came over as an ass
WRONG. Reread the rules: And please abide by them.
http://www.conjointgaming.com/forum/index.php?topic=2871.0
6. Anyone found to be excessively annoying to the majority will be muted. Squeakers are to be muted.
Yes, you did come over as an ass, and a wrong one at that. Apologize. And That is the end.

My bad and i apologize, still i have yet to see a single time when someone is muted just for being a squeaker.
-
Well I mean for the most part, symbolz hit the nail on the head. It's mostly based on if their annoying. squeaking does fall under that category but meh. I forgot what I was saying but squeaking is just a category of being annoying on the mic. I know I probbaly said something wrong but read my first long post or w/e that I posted,
-
then...the point of this thread?
-
dear god, please dont take this off. squeakers only cause annoying problems
-
Head admin has spoken not gonna happen, unless you find a very very good reason.
stance majority>minority, NOW LISTEN TO ME FOR ONCE.
-
And on that note, the rule stands.
