Need Supporters Spamming trade on a non-trade server should be a mute-worthy offense

[butterfingersman]

Please start a thread in the Suggestions forum.

As per request.
So, suppose you're playing on USW4 and someone keeps spamming, "Selling stranges! Check my bp! !bp Pootisboy69!"about eight times per round.
I think that should be a mute-worthy offense because seeing this so often is very irritating. It gets even distracting, and could be considered "team harming" to an extent.
The rule would be that players could maybe have 5 trade spams per round tops. With a warning at 4. I've been using this rule on USW4 for a while, and it seems to work very well.

I only trade during the set-up times and only if its a quick trade. Like something for a ref.

Normally they stop if you ask/lecture them, but nothing kills me more than when people step in to defend them.
Anyway, this gets a huge +1 from me.
It wouldn't be out of the question for a red text message reminding players that we have trade servers to appear in their chat feed if they use certain keywords, (buying, selling, ect) would it?

"Aye pootisboy69, you mind doing that elsewhere?"
"trading is a pert of tf2 cyclosis quit whining lol"
"If I wanted people pandering shit to me, I'd go to US20."
"meybe you should change your name to crylosis lol"

I don't really mind, but I can see how upsetting this is for some, so I'll +1 this too.

A ban should be too harsh for this though, I think a warning from an admin would be more fair for the first offence.

This is a great idea.

+1. People don't realize how annoying this is, unless it happens to them.

As I said, no ban, just a standard mute after a warning.

I never ban for this. I just do a mute or gag if it's constant.
