HLSS (and others) Ban - LIFTED
Starting Monday, 26 July 2010, we will be setting the server variable sv_allow_voice_from_file to 0. This will in effect block programs that allow you to play audio files while on the tf2 server. In addition, the admin will begin enforcing a voice chat only policy. This means no music, short audio clips, or anything else of a similar nature. Anyone who finds a way to violate this rule will be warned once, and then globally muted. Any repeat offenders will be temp banned.
This ban will end at 8am, Monday, 9 August 2010
Any questions can be sent to me.
For more information, please read here: http://forums.joe.to/viewtopic.php?p=798356#p798356
This thread will automatically unsticky after 9 August.

Re: HLSS (and others) Ban

Does this include people singing without music?

Re: HLSS (and others) Ban
But, but, "KITTY!" I have been coming to this server for two years for 90% of my TF2 time and THIS is the WORST change that has ever happened. I never use voicechat because of my "inadequate" voice, instead I use a scout soundboard via HLSS.
One of the reasons I stayed with this server was not just because of constructive and fair admins, but because of admins and a community that knew how to have fun and take a joke and this ban ruins this in a huge way.
Didn't the rule used to be no playing any clips over 7 seconds? I propose we stick with that and anybody wanting to play a full length song must get a admin to administer a consensual vote amongst the masses and if anybody wants the song to end another vote should be put into effect to see if it gets stopped.
If this gets taken away aside from the friendly fire, RTV, and party gibs, there isn't much seperating it from other servers.
EDIT:OOPS! Sorry for not reading it all the way through. I thought you meant indefinately. What's so special about between Monday 26 July 2010 through Monday 9 August 2010 8am that you have to disable HLSS? The only thing I can hazard a guess at is that it's to test how the server is without it for either performance or too many people bitching about HLSS spam.

Re: HLSS (and others) Ban
Well it's just starting to annoy some people. (myself included) I mentioned that a micspam ban will start on Monday, and someone said they were glad because it was just annoying them.
Even if we do revert to micspam after two weeks, as I'm predicting, it will allow everybody to just have a cool down period.

Re: HLSS (and others) Ban
Not directed at anybody in particular, but HLSS is literally the fucking worst thing to happen to any game ever and if you can't handle a 2 week period without it then you need to fix your awful brain.

But is this one of those experiments to see how the admins can control the hlss spam or what?

It's a return to the good ol' days when there was little obnoxious monotone noise on the servers...and people had fun...
