Thoughts on a mic-spamming rule

READ THE WHOLE FUCKING THREAD FIRST BEFORE GOING "OLOL JUST MUET FGT EETS NOT TAT HARD"
Heres whats happening:
(Sorry gamefreak, but lets see if everyone else agree's here)
When you go into the report section, you'd find alot of reports related to people kicking to mic spamming, which breaks out over 9000 respectard phrases time to time. Basically, when you join any of our servers...usually TTT or ZS, you'd find someone spamming some shitty overplayed techno crap or an old tf2 bonk song that almost everyone has heard. When you ask them nicely...they never go that path (expect for gamefreak, he's a bit more considerate now to that stuff). Instead, they tell you to stop crying and lrn2mute. Which basically evolves a few clicks and your done. But here's the downside of muting.
Now that ZS is getting popular again, its hard scrolling through 20+ names and finding that individual who's spamming. It sucks when your a human and your in a tight situation here. If you dont have a high reading level to scroll through all the names...i'd take you at-least 8 seconds to find the person and mute them. In this case, if you're in 1 part of the map and 10 people are in the other with a whole hoard of zombies breaking down your cade, and someone plays some shitty horrid quality song with hlss that make your ears bleed, then theres a problem. You could always turn off your volume but you wouldint hear the zombies coming near. Your ass would get pwnt when trying to mute the person.
With TTT its sorta a big problem. It could only take 3 seconds to stand still and mute someone with a full 16/16 server. But really, when your a tratior and half the server is after you and right behind you...I dont think you would want to stand still even for 4 seconds to mute the spammer. It happened to me before on a noxious server when no admins are on. 5 people left, I was the only T. Someone played some shitty death metal song thus forcing me to mute. And since noxious has a heap of people usually. Its hard finding the name. Long story short, I got pwnt while finding the name to mute.
And heres my opposition:
LRN2FUCKING USE WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER. Liek no really, no one wants to sit through all of that just to mute one person to have another spammer come on. If you want to listen to music, then please...for the sake of god start up WMP before the game and make some playlist or something. Thats what I do. If your a macfag or WMP doesn't work for an odd reason, then use youtube in steam's ingame web browser. Im pretty sure that works for the other 90% of people. If that shit doesnt work still...then get a better media player or iTunes or get a fucking radio.
You honestly dont need to play music that a majority of the server doesn't like. If people want to hear music, they do the same with WMP or jewtube.
Sound effects are okay and all. Just as-long as they are not overused or hella annoying. I'd prefer people spam old and overused Duke Nukem quotes then to spam shitty music.
Christ, I'll admit that I used to mic-spam a bit along time ago. But I actually asked people for a vote for music and actually stopped when they said stop.
Basically the moral of the thread is to start a vote against the mic-spamming rule. A kick at the most if they spam for atleast 30 seconds and when at-least 80% of the server tells them to stop. But all and all, coolz has the final decision for all of this.
Votemute. Self-Explanatory.
You may now post your witty, overused like fuck comebacks to go against the rule.
tl;dr
Stfu and lrn2WMP.

OLOL JUST MUET EETS NOT TAT HARD
But seriously,
The mute is there for a reason, and it works just fine. If taking 8 seconds away from your game, and possibly a round is such a serious grievance, then go play single player games, there aren't any mic-spammers there, and your free to do what-ever the heck you want.
But something you forgot to factor in is it affects everyone on the server evenly. So if its proving distracting to you, chances are everyone else finds it distracting also, thus the playing field still remains somewhat even despite the annoyance.
As for the in-game music players, I don't mind it so much as long as they:
A. Stop if someone asks
B. Skip a song if a few people hate it.
(To all those out with poorly optimized, and scratchy songs, If I find you, you will be dealt with harshly >:D)
Stop being lazy arses and use the mute.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)However, I am about ready to start a ban on 4chan slang. ;D

Then what the fuck is the point of playing TTT/ZS if its in single player.

You shouldn't have to mute mic spammer after mic spammer.
Rocket50:
people mic-spam because they think they are cool for sharing their music
Mr. Franklin:
They mostly think it is funny, and they have their friends laugh so... O0
