Here's an easy fix:

Code: Select all

if (Rank < 5) HideTauntChats();
Implementation is left as an exercise to the developers! /laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

hmm.

what if... you left the sound files but disabled the VC menu?

newbies have to download the menu to use VCs.

or... you could just implement the

Code: Select all

if (Rank < 5) HideTauntChats();
on a larger scale... say

Code: Select all

if (Rank < 5) HideVoiceChatsMenu();
(I have NO FRIGGIN IDEA how coding works. hope you get my point here)

Why cant you just mute the one doing the spamming? First say something, then mute. Or just mute. Problem handled.

Why remove content for those newer players who can handle themselves?

I get the annoying bit just fine AND when they keep doing it errrm I want to kick them in the head with my steel toed boot BUT I just mute them and try to remember what being 15 was like *shrug* chronologically not maturity /tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" />

I talked with the peeps on #RT and the response was more of a 'meh' so I never started work on it. Unless I get a ton of people beggin for it, I probably won't make the filter.

For the record it would be more like

Code: Select all

    if (player->IsHuman() && (VoiceChatID != NA) && (player->GetPersistantRank() < 5))
    {
        MUTE_DA_FOO();
    }

Well, it doesn't really help. Voice chat menu cannot be hidden. You could reduce the number of menu items (so that you can actually find the important ones easily), but IMHO more restriction would only do more harm than good.

could just un-bind it from the default keymap.

it will stop them using them until after they have learnt how to map their controls

"omg, how do i make the voices?"
"read the academy noob!"

I'm currently ranked at (3) and I can say that without VCs i'd be less useful to the team, possibly making it harder to rank too, I support the idea of an easy way to mute a selected person, then you can mute noobs (and possibly higher ranks spamming anyway).
