    I believe that most of the mic spammers and trolls are potatoes because these people just roam servers to troll and not actually play. If you remove the talk power from the potatoes this problem is averted.

    -1 not all new people are trolls, depriving them all from talking for the acts of a few would be punishing someone before they may even commit the crime.

    Some people would want to talk seriously even if they are a potato.

    -1 as I already had some interesting talks with potatos who wouldn't troll and take voice coms serious.

    Simply mute them by yourself. If there's an admin online, they will be muted anyways.

    True true, but there is never any admins on the beginner server. I am aware that there is lack of admins on the CS part of the community and that the CS admins are very good surfers but it wouldn't hurt to pop onto the beginner server? :/

    I am a CS admin, have you ever seen me surf... xD

    On TF2 servers we got the reporter bot, is it an idea to expand it to CS?

    Toxic wise, that's a good idea. Population wise, I wouldn't say the same. Even if this DO improve the toxicity in the server the population would drop tremendously. I rather feel like there is another problem (at least in the 1-2t server): THERE IS/ARE NO ADMIN/S THERE!

    I don't mind the potatoes as a whole, yes, there are some that are trolls or straight away offensive and lack manners, but so do people with higher ranks than 'potato'.

    I believe this problem will be solved if an admin is appointed for the 1-2t server.

    I do believe that we would need to have applicants for this to happen. No applicants. No admins.

    I'd do it as well but I can't since I'm still a trainee. So I'd suggest Exo or Venom to write an app.

    still guys, you can simply mute them. If they're spamming chat, simply report them here and someone will purge them.

    Won't gonna happen.
    Just because some of them spam/are retarded, that doesn't mean everyone is like that.
