Rejected Lengthen/GET RID OF the Mic Battery

  1. When a mic battery as short as the one in TTT, there needs to be a change to the duration of it. As it affects peoples' ability to communicate for more than 2 sentences.

    Everyone agrees, even mods, that there needs to be a longer mic battery. Not just for detectives. There are too few spammers in the chat to have a battery that lasts literally 10 seconds.

    A mic battery is not the way to combat spammers and clear voice channels. A gag is. If someone's acting up, you gag them. Mods are absolutely great with this. Most mods are properly doing their jobs and are able to gag micspammers.

    Point of interest for admins reading this: I have been wrongfully killed multiple times because I don't have enough mic battery to explain myself. Extend the longevity of it, or be like 90% of the gmod servers (including moat r.i.p.) and just have NO mic battery.

    Like this thread to say you'd like to lengthen or be rid of the mic battery.

    If the mic battery is as short as the one for unranked players on DR, then I +1 this.

    I like the idea of having mic battery but do think it should be extended. Most mic spam comes from short, loud bursts anyway.

    -1 there's plenty of mic battery for normal TTT information to be sent

  5. In theory and out of theory you're wrong. Mic battery is 15 seconds by my estimation (maybe even less) and atop the mic spammers and other callouts on the server, you can barely get your callouts out without repeating them twice or more. A server with 30+ people does not warrant a mic battery of 15 seconds.

    -1.

    1. This would only serve to increase incidents of micspam.
    2. This would decrease the desire to buy premium ranks (which include extended mic battery) which is how SGM gets the funds to operate.

    Longer battery time is a great idea, or even unlimited. And mic spammers is an awful counter argument as mods should be gagging micspammers at least 2 seconds after they start micspamming.

    Put it this way: You want longer mic battery, you can get that by buying a rank. If the mic battery is extended then people wont be as inclined to buy a rank, therefore this most likely wont get accepted

    That's pretty counterproductive. That would increase forum reports (which we DONT want, in case you're wondering) and even if you do a forum report doesnt instantly solve anything
