I know for a fact that the day prior to this ban you were repeatedly kicked for spamming your mic. I also know for a fact that it is extremely easy to rebind your voice keys from global/side to direct voice chat. The process is thus: Esc > Options > Controls > Scroll down about halfway on the list > Delete your current voice bindings > Rebind to direct chat Just do this and there won't be a problem on this server or any other server you might play on in the future. Also, there appears to be some bad blood between you and one of the admins on the server, which may or may not have caused an overzealous reaction. However the matter, as I understand it, is that you were repeatedly warned and you yourself have warned others about not talking in global/side voice chat. In order to bring this issue to a close, and to end this ridiculous thread, I will unban you. However, you will need to rebind your voice keys in game so that you stop spamming voice in order to prevent future kicks. Since there is a purple reply in this thread, I would like to try and find out what the proper procedure for dealing with issues such as this. What are we as server admins supposed to do in the event that a player is repeatedly warned and repeatedly kicked for harassing the entire server by using their voice chat? I am a player myself, I play this game to have fun and sometimes shoot at "noobs" in Cherno. What I don't like doing is having to alt-tab out to my rcon client every 15 seconds to kick somebody for repeatedly spamming their mic. If the policy is to stand as is, meaning we can't ban people for repeatedly disobeying fairly clear instructions to not spam global voip, so be it. I may not like it, but I will live with it. However, I do think there should be some policy put in place in order to ensure that troublemakers can be dealt with temporarily in order to prevent the constant need to have to kick someone. Also, before someone gets on the bandwagon here saying you can use the admin client in game, I can't; I get a script error #49 when I try and use that. To wrap this long post up and hopefully this thread, I would like to apologize for the drama that has unfortunately spilled over onto the mod forums and hopefully we can get a relatively quick response as to what the proper way to deal with this issue is in the future.
