Approved Remove Pan from Trade?

People hitting each other with the pan constantly make it impossible to hear what anyone on the mic is saying.
I can't hear people on the mic because the trolls following me with pans. The logical thing to do is turn down my volume so i can hear the mic better.
When you walk away, they hit someone else nearby. When you leave the spawn to escape the noise, the noise of you dying while you're trying to listen replaces the noise of you being panned while you're trying to listen. When you turn down the volume, you're also turning down the volume of the person you're trying to hear talk over their mic. It's a no-win situation with pans.
I see no need for pans to be enabled on trade servers - my opinion is disable them if people are abusing them similar to how people were abusing third person.
If people are being obnoxious and there's an easy fix that really won't impact anyone other than their ability to be fucks, I say go for it.

Just decrease FX volume and then increase voice volume. 2 separate controls.
Yes, then when I go back to dustbowl, I'm unable to hear dead ringer spies decloaking right behind me over the whiny cunts that wonder why no one wants to be their pocket medic. I also lost 98% ubercharge because of this.

No logical reason why pans need to be enabled in trade. Pan is pan, it's not like an unusual or something. Nobody is impressed by them.

I wonder if it would be possible to script the volume adjustments. Then, when you connect to a trade server, all you would need to do is exec the script and vice versa with the reg server...
Not everyone is brilliant with scripting.
No, I'm not going to learn any scripting for the sake of creating a client-side fix for a problem that could be fixed with the removal of the source server-side, either.
Well, if i knew the commands for volume control, I would be more than willing to write the script. :D
That's beside the point. No one should have to make or use a client side fix for this, since the pans are by no means necessary for trade, and removing them isn't rocket science.
While I agree, the script could be useful in other situations as well. However if nobody is interested, I will spend the effort on my C++ programming labs instead :)
It wasn't just trade servers. People were using it to see around corners and it was constantly confused with wallhacks, so thirdperson was removed entirely.
Something like that should be possible, I was able to script custom mouse sensitivities for all the classes. Maybe it'd go in the autoexec.cfg file?
