A discussion last year about rule 2e by certain panda staff has prompted me to make this thread to receive community feedback. Here is the rule in question:
e) Mic spamming
Playing music, soundboards, singing, screaming, voice changers or sending otherwise non-communicable noises over the microphone is forbidden. Additionally, the admins have the right to mute you if the quality of your microphone is deemed too bad to be understandable, or if your voice is deemed too immature in an annoying way (i.e. “squeaky”).
This suggestion particularly focuses on the 'Playing Music' and 'forbidden' section. Other aspect of the rule can be discussed, but this thread is mainly for playing music over voice chat.
Particularly situations have arisen on US 2FORT & US Jailbreak where playing music on the microphone is encouraged by the majority of players on depending on the situation. An admin may join and has to enforce rule 2e on the micspam of music on the individual. This upsets players depending on the situation, particularly on US 2FORT.
What is to be purposed is a change in enforcement and maybe a changing up the wording of the rule to include that, some instants of playing music on voice chat is allowed, depending on the situation that players are happy with what is being played. It'll be up to admin discretion / judgement.
There are pros and cons to this, but I'll leave the community to list these as I'm sure some of you are ready to discuss this.
For now there is no poll, this is just a discussion. I'm particularly looking for feedback from all regulars of each game server(particularly U2FORT & US jailbreak), this also includes the EU servers. Opinions welcome, with reason.
