For our server particularly it's a little less about whether the positive outweighs cons or vice versa, but about giving the server a bit more leverage when it comes to rules adjustments, so forth. We would much rather have each player enjoy being on the server than not which some find chatting in dead a highlight. Just don't want to restrict much from the server, especially something that doesn't necessarily affect the player base (to an extent of course).

Though I do understand the players tendency to spam, ghost (not often), and generally disrupt game play with dry humor and as much as i hate saying it or even relying on the subject but that's a lot where admins should come in, muting particular groups and/or players to fit the expectations and standards of the server. When admins aren't online, submit a ban would probably be best suited unfortunately as it sounds. But I don't believe that taking that privilege away from the entire player base should be of concern, especially for those who don't abuse the dead chat, they shouldn't be getting the same restrictments, per se, as those who do.

Just to note, they we aren't close-minded, just straight-forward.


Don't dial down now, just let the thread roll out, you don't know where it'll go

There's a very low chance that we'll disable the ability for dead to talk but it is an introductions to new possibilities and/or alternatives that can accommodate for the problem.

My take on dead people talking (mic);

It's a privilege to talk using your mic while you are dead. The second I see it being overdone, I will mute the dead as a group. If it's a single person, I will mute/kick etc on that person causing problems.

I'll typically unmute a while during the round after I feel like dead has cooled off and let their push-to-talk key breathe a little.

jilly were okay with people being able to talk while dead and like yiggles said is someone abuses it they should be getting punished for it and the ability for to only talk to dead and here the living but the living can't hear the dead is part of the original css config which i believe is turn off because when there was a completive aspect to css similar to csgo comp but with the opposite to make it so the opposite teams could talk while dead

Tbh I wish dead and alive chat were separate but this opinion is in minority~
Majority of the community enjoys the no separation and it is easier to moderate when it comes to Mic spammers.
I don’t like saying “ If someone abuses it then admins will handle it” because there are times when different situations may prevent that or admins may not be available on the server.
But either way good effort I guess

If we take out deadchat they will just use the mic, which is 100 times worse haha
