[How Do I?] Prevent mic spam / griefing on in-game VOIP

[BigMorgan]

I had to disable in-game VOIP in our server tonight due to someone using his mic to grief people.

We need a way to see who is misusing their microphone so we can keep clean, fun servers.

Did I overlook something already built into webadmin to log who is on voice comms?

Otherwise we server admins desperately need this feature; until it's implemented we'll have to keep VOIP disabled.

We are having the same problem.

There should be some type of icon showing beside the players name that is talking showing who is actually doing the talking.

Agreed.

Just had this happen to us on our GTFOGaming server. I had no way of telling who this Spannish guy just talking nonstop was. Took until he changed teams that i could tell who it was. Is there any way of telling who is speaking?

It seems a little drastic but that sounds like the same guy we had (spamming Spanish language stuff in a high-pitch voice, then some music) so perhaps you could share is unique ID in PM?

Thank you.

Its bugged, but there is an icon that shows up every once in a while on the upper left hand part of the screen with the player's name. So, I'm sure there will be some indicator come release. Its a shame that it only takes one idiot to ruin everyone's fun.

I only kicked him, so I dont have his ID :S

I really hope so.

We went from a full server to half that in a few minutes with that guy. I hope the people that were bothered by it will come back.

Good call

I think it was fixed in the latest update, we can now see who is talking while in game.

Excellent. I suspected it was and re-enabled VOIP. Sorry for the emo OP, TWI.
