When a newbie asks a question on all chat, it becomes difficult to answer him when he has you muted without even realising it.

Please change the default in R5 to be not muted.

Usually though, "skill" is used to covertly mean "match the game exactly to my level of competence." Anyone who is at all worse than me should fail utterly (and humorously!) and anyone better is clearly too caught up in the game and their opinions shouldn't count.

I'll take a look. I did not realize it defaulted to on, an over site on our part.

It can be changed on the next installer, IMO no codechange needed.

Just because FilterLobbyChats is a registry setting.

It's also in the ingame settings. press "Esc-G M A" To turn off the filtering. I'd rather leave all chat filter on since I beleive it was intentioned to do earlier for some reason. To unfilter lobby. Esc G M L.

I loose my motivation to help out more and more each day to drama like this. Which is why I am mostly /meh on this point. I will continue to play as I always have, with the morals I have been rasied with and if this community finds they don't like myself and others like me who just enjoy playing the game with their friends on TS or squadies, then they can ban us and my Warhammer account, Girlfriend, and IRL activities will get a lot more attention and will thank them.

I think it would be more convenient to keep it as is. I know PMing a newbie is kind of a pain, but having NOAT spam drive them nuts so they can't follow chat, and don't even bother is even worse. (NOAT PMs are not muted by default, just noat:all)

I didn't, TW. Never knew how to turn it on/off.
