Muting The Annoying Mic Spammers

hyperionjjliu

<div class="IPBDescription">... how are they voice-banned?</div> hey everyone!

although I am a semi-veteran to NS, i have some n00b HL questions

If someone is spamming the voice comm system, and I mute them thru the TAB scoreboard thing, are they muted by WONid or by alias (or in-game name) ...

As in, if the stupid person rejoins the server under a new alias, will I still be able to hear him/her?

Thanks!

No, the person will still be muted regardless of their name.

ic ... so the voice bans (aka mutes) are done by WONid's then?

I'm pretty sure they are, as I have seen a guy rejoin a server under a different name after being kicked attempting to voice chat spam again. You know, where they play the annoying repetitive music over and over. I noticed I had the person muted but didn't recognize the name, then I unmuted him and there was that blasted music again. So that seems about right, mute by wonid.

By the way, it also blocks text messages. Yes, I have tested this.
