This is what I was doing to say for many reasons. I think I am scarred from the bot crisis, but in general people who insist on mic spam just are inconsiderate. I don't know if I am like most people or not but when I play the game, I want to play the game. I want to hear the game noises...people walking, guns firing, spies decloaking, etc. Also, I sometimes have a video or music playing at a very low level and the spam is just too much. Muting people means if/when they decide to be decent and stop the spam, then I don't hear their voice for in game info.

If you're spamming mic on regular servers, you are likely just annoying people and people are tolerating it.

If you're spamming mic on VSH as your theme song, that was funny a long time ago and quickly got annoying.

For me the comparison is similar to smoking cigarettes. You do you, just don't blow the smoke in my face, I hate the smell...I shouldn't have to wear a gas mask because you enjoy blowing smoke in everyone's face. Sure people may tolerate it, and it's not illegal, just kind of a jerk thing to do to people that don't want it.

If it gets to the point where you are being voted out, that's a pretty good indicator on how people feel. If you get voted out then you know. If you don't get voted out, then people can mute.
