RFC: Add A Mute Feature

[averagestalker]

• Start Date: 2014-07-24
• RFC PR #:
• MinerAp Issue #:

Summary

Add a command to let players mute other players in-game.

Motivation

Certain players can be increasingly annoying in-game, so it may be advantageous to certain players to mute those who annoy them.
This could increase the gameplay experience for players who are annoyed by others.

Detailed design

There is currently a half-implemented mute feature, but it is not for player use.
Perhaps it could be adapted for this new functionality.

Drawbacks

• It severely detracts from the "MinerAp" experience.

Alternatives

• None so far.

Unresolved questions

• None so far.

I don't think this would be in the spirit of MinerAp. I think that as in real life, one should just ignore annoying people.

We do actually have a half-done mute feature, but it's not for player use.

I don't think it's logical to ban people for saying "faggot" or something along that lines, and at the same not allow players to mute someone who is degrading them constantly. In a server with so much to lose, toxic players are abound.

Perhaps it could be made so mute only lasts a certain amount of time, rather than a perma-mute.

@averagestalker I've updated your post to fit the template.
