With 10 players ingame, the administrators do not have the time to mute 3 flamers, because they're busy chasing all the many players that are using cheats.
Tell me please, what percentage of your ingame time (directed to any mod/admin) do you spend finding/kicking/banning cheaters?
What if a crewmember tells me to "shut up," will you mute the entire crew?
You're just punishing innocent people here, and creating a rift between gang/clanmates.
This idea will not lower the amount of flame, it'll just increase it, as people will be flaming more people, as I mentioned earlier. Why not attack the problem at the source? Actually enforce rules such as "no taxi abuse", or move the VIP room (really, really simple to do), or mute flamers early- because from a fighter's perspective, crewmembers are just people who yell "no caps!" "language!" and kick/ban the occasional person or cheater.
How's it going to increase the amount of ingame flaming if all members involved are muted or such?
And the taxi abuse has been fixed, along with moving the VIP room. We're already trying, but you're talking about gang members as if they're innocent - but they're really not. I've seen the gang flames, I've seen the chat get spammed up by idiots trying to show off their tiny e-dicks. Most of the time, these people are gang members.. I'm sure a lot of people will agree with me. Who cares if we create a rift between gang/clanmates? That's just punishment for flaming.
