Author Topic: Should fanfics be banned from being micspammed? (Read 3536 times)

So what do you guys think should happen to fanfics/stories being micspammed? Examples of stories being "Shrek is love, shrek is life", "Penis Fly Trap", etc. I personally think they're a waste of time and take too long to get over with. Also when there's another spammer, a fanfic takes up a lot of time (~10 min minimum) and stops the other spammer from micspamming.

Just bumping this when there's more traffic.

Honestly I personally don't have a problem with fanfics/stories as long as it's not over spammed or contains ear rape, but that's just me. I think a good rule of thumb (I say rule of thumb because it's more of a polite thing to do rather than a requirement of the current rules) for all mic spammers who want to play a fanfic/funny story/etc. is that if the audio clip is longer than most of the songs being played by others at the time, that you probably shouldn't start playback without asking the other mic spammers first if you can use the mic for an extended amount of time. As far as the official rules go, stories are a grey area (one of the rules for Trade Hell is that mic spam is for music only, although I believe that this is more aimed at people who spam ear rape). It might be worth noting that I have yet to see an admin step in when someone plays a reading of "Shrek is love" or similar.

That's my two cents.

I don't really care for mic spamming in the first place and it's that some people want to be more efficent with their trades by using their microphones to do so and well.....fanfics kinda make it impossible to do voice chat trading. So I hope they do get banned.

I'm okay with it, as long as it isn't too disgusting. Except, I don't want to have the ones people micspam ALL THE TIME. IE, That one Adventure Time Fanfic, and all the ones by that guy, Penis Fly Trap, Toaster, etc.
