How about a keybind that automatically mutes the currently speaking player?
Is a way to silence the mic spammers with minimum hassle.

Quick "mute" button.

Now that folks, is a good suggestion! And in case you accidently muted someone else, you can just go the normal way and unmute him.

Yep this is a very good idea indeed. There is nothing worse than the guy camping at the back of the map spouting out orders to the rest of the team.

The idea of silencing annoying guys is a good option. This should be quickly to do and take little time. However, the better idea is to separate a small part of a scoreboard and there click on to mute/unmute certain player or players, I guess...

That only works if, unlike ROOST, all players are displayed on the scoreboard.
That'll mean 32 per side on a 64 player server, instead of the current ROOST top however many.
If that's the case, I'm all for it. If not, the annoying guy is usually on the bottom part, and not displayed, and this wouldn't help.

Back in the day (am I old?) you could just scroll down with pgup and pgdown. Wonder why they removed that in all current games..

The quick button is the option with less hassle, the problem is that you'd have to catch him while he is talking, and there is a very little but existing risk of muting someone by accident.
Selecting names in the scoreboard is the most precise one, but has the hassle of having to bring it up and search for the name (with 64 players it would be quite a bother if a spammer makes you go through that trouble) which is stealing more game time from you than what the guy deserves.
I vote for having both things.
You'd need a mouse pointer while playing.

The mind experiment of how many people who posted in here (me included 
) would get muted during a game makes me chuckle.

Haha so true. Many times I'll be trying to use teamwork in RO and get a bunch of responses (over VOIP and text chat) like "HEY SHUTUP *** WTF HERP DERP" ...The mind experiment of how many people who posted in here (me included

Good idea. Is there an option for server admins to do this? (Or was there an option like this in RO1?) If a player is mic spamming (or doesn't know how to communicate properly ), sure an admin can kick the player but muting would be alternative option - also could be used as a minor punishment if kicking seems too harsh.

and what exactly is wrong with the traditional method of muting the player or just turning off voice chat?
more crap suggestions.
