My teamspeak demeanour...

[Kenadian]

...today, I have to admit, was completely atrocious. I've grown weary of Me and his verbal, non-stop, nonsensical spam and today was about as much as I could take. I know there have been a few jokes thrown out about dumbing down the volume on him so he's barely audible but that's not a solution.

I know he's young and has a lot to say but not everyone is tolerant of listening to it over and over. Recently, we had two nobodies join TS and speak Russian even though they were respectfully made aware that those in the channel they were sharing speak English.

They simply ignored the request and went on spamming to the point where I believe Wappy banned them both, permanently.

In this case however, I do however feel a bit guilty about how rude I was today on TS in general but formally apologized to Me with the following request:

"Me, I apologize for being so rude to you on Teamspeak today but you MUST learn that you do not need to broadcast every thought you have it every single moment you have one. You clearly have no concept of how annoying it can be and you need to curb this habit when on our TS Server. I don't want to be put in the position to kick you from TS when you go on and on so please, please try to curb this behaviour."

Nobody is a bigger spammer on Teamspeak than I but the one thing I can say that if one of you were to ask me to change something I would do so out of respect for your ears.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this topic? Should we have some loose, general rules for people to follow; after all it is a public TS Server?

I'm in a group of EVE players which recently came across this. Usually they allow anything to go on but it degraded from funny conversation into just crap, but instead of rules, they just said don't say stupid stuff which is at the discretion of the admins.

It amounts to: Don't be annoying, don't spam, push to talk only, English in the English channels, if you don't want to hear people swearing go to another TS, if you don't want your kids to hear swearing get a head set.

And Duke, its no shock you did what you did. He had permanent internal monologue which was neither interesting nor at any point tried to engage anyone else.

Thank you for the reply mondo, it certainly does help me understand that this is potentially just one part of a larger issue.

I really don't have any problem with TS being a free for all but I'm sure we all have our limits. Maybe just a ruling on spamming TS is all that's needed and that we should all try and speak the same language in TS regardless of what that language is.

I know there have been a few times I leave TS for a few minutes to come back to Wappy and D.O.A. speaking Dutch and I think that's really cool. I'm even going to try and pick up some of the language from these two just because.

The point is though, they return to English when English speaking people are on TS and that's just respectful usage of voice comms if you ask me.
