A timed mute system

[Scourge]

First I would like to start this with not trying to take anything away from admins on ttt or jb or any cs game mode I just think it would make it easier

Basically what I am thinking is to implement a plugin (or something of the such) that allows for mutes to be specifically timed, such as a ban from the server. When you have a ban you see it being for x amount of minutes and I think that setting a standard of doing a certain thing, mic spam, abuse, et cetera, all have a certain mute length in seconds and every time it happens it increases. I do not know if there is a plugin like this, but I feel as it can be done with bans it theoretically can be done with mutes. Just thinking it would make admin lives easier where they dont have to manually un mute anybody who is muted

I've always seen it as admin discretion on mute times, a round or two for mic spam, a short mute just to give warden some breathing room and et cetera. Sometimes I've seen admins forget to unmute/ungag and I guess this would be situationally useful, but honestly this is not really needed and could just be done manually by admins.

This would also result in a subset of mute times for specific offenses, and I feel that it would just be unnecessary work.

If your muted/gagged than simply ask an admin to unsilence you. You got muted/gagged for a reason, if you can not learn from that mistake than you shouldn't be unsilenced.

I believe this was a thread for a loooong time at pG but was never implemented and I really think it could be useful, it'd be especially nice for servers which take more effort to admin.

With: Admin types command, and done.

Without: "People are screaming into their mics, the admin mutes all. A minute or two later they decide to get off. Five minutes later: "Did I forget something?"

Then you failed pretty much as an admin and need your admin to be removed. Lol. (not saying your admin, but in this case).

Admins should unsilence you at their own discretion. No need for more complicated commands. What happens if we mute them permanently? Do we need to write logs for that? Where do we save these logs?

I think the current situation is just fine. We can unsilence everyone with just 1 command. This addition would only make admins life more difficult.

I like the idea for wanting to help the admins out, but this would be a fairly large amount of work for not that much gain. Our admins are trained to make sure they are keeping the environment of the server as enjoyable as possible for all involved. If we are allowing players to mic spam/abuse their vocal privileges, then we are failing at our duties as an admin.

While this could be helpful, it doesn't seem to really warrant the workload behind it. I love the suggestion though! Keep them coming!
