Admin Warning for using group chat (Exp 0.47)

[GrrArrgh 0]

     Hey all, I usually play with speakers so I cannot "talk" to anyone. It definitely increases the tension when playing, hardly anyone trusts me, because I don't speak. 

     Anyway, lately I been getting an admin message when I try to type a message in chat that states "group chat not allowed" warning 1, 8 warnings left...

I am just using chat, so I'm curious as to what's up.  If anyone has any ideas....I've only noticed on Experimental.

i havent had this issue, i too usually dont use a mic, as i find a lot of people who are friendly tend to be quite annoying to talk to lol, i only bother with the mic if i bump into a friendly who also doesnot shriek at me like some devil possesed 8 year old saying things like "CAN I FOLLOW YOU, WHERE YOU GOING, LEZBE FWIENDS" etc. my experience with these types of people is A) they are trying to lure you to their group from ts or whatever or B) they shout so much in the direct chat that you end up getting noticed by other players before you see them and get ganked

 

but yeh i have not noticed any warnings for typing in direct channel so far :/ sorry brah cant help you there

Finally! The "shut up" key. But I think f9 will do the job too  :lol: (along with f7 for use in groups)

The OP said it was only happening on Experimental.

Stupid phone. Ah well, this bowel movement is making up for having to type on the phone.

I've had it happen on past versions as well, it seems to be something the server owners are enabling or adding.

WTF is group chat?

WTF is group chat? 

its an old arma 2 feature,in arma 2 dayz mod, you had multiple chat channels, group chat (which was not relevant as groups was a mechanic from arma 2 for squad like communications on the same team), side chat, which was a global chat which got removed on a lot of servers as people would often spam in it or use voice to the whole server, and direct chat, which we have currently in dayz SA. I belive that when you have a walkie talkie in dayz though that chat is basically using the group channel, but you can only switch to group channel when you posses a walkie talkie.

 

 

as for people saying its admin controls, i have actually now noticed the group chat for text direct chat warnings myself now, in experimental, and as such these are official test servers so it is definitely not admin doing this. it just seems to be a bug
