Need Supporters Admins have the power to toggle AllTalk without needing a vote

[[TC]CreepingDeath]

This comes up often... AllTalk is off and people want it on but the vote loses even though over 50% vote yes.

Also, sometimes there are some serious business rounds going on and people want AllTalk off. Again, it loses even with 50% plus votes.

I suggest that we admins are given a command to toggle AllTalk in case of such instances.

 

[JayDee]

Yes.

Creeping's starting to sound like Hitler. Admins will be able to do whatever they like without a vote! (jk don't hurt me)

Sure let the people talk and whatnot.

Soon, if this keeps up, we might find him doing this:

... no? My arguement is that if a vote doesn't pass then the required number of people didn't want it to pass.


Shouldn't you be asking to have the vote percentage lowered instead?

Well... Troll votes...

AllTalk isn't related to admin stuff at all as far as I know.

You guys can't just: sm_cvar sv_alltalk 0/1 ?

Admins don't have access to special console thingies.

:( Oh well, just a thought. Actually now that I think about it some more it makes sense that Bott would have the sm_cvar command locked down, it would be waaaay too easy to seriously mess some stuff up with that.

Yeah, that absolutely makes sense. The funny thing is that most regular users think that all the admins do have those powers. They beg us to switch maps and reset the server when it's weird and laggy. We can't.

However, I think that an AllTalk toggle would be harmless and generally useful.

why not use sm_votealltalk ? and just vote on it

Now to duck out of thread quietly...

I'm not sure that we admins have that command enabled for us. I won't be home for another 10 hours, so can another admin test that?

I know /votealltalk doesn't work, not sure about !sm_votealltalk though.

You'll probably get in game before me, so would you mind testing it out?

 

[ViperStriker]

+1.

:T

i don't see the point really. if the majority wanted it on the vote would of passed. vice versa.

i have never had a problem getting it on

Took me five tries on US21 the other day. Every time the vote was over 50 and all the people with mics were like WTF.
