(Valve-CS:GO)





Team-based games like CS:GO require coordination between players.

Coordination requires communication, and communication, requires talking to other people. Some players will use the power of communication to set ambushes or warn about incoming enemies.

Valve is working on a new system for CS:GO that will help cut down on in-game abusive players. Players who receive significantly more abuse reports than others will be given a warning, and if the abuse reports continue at a high rate they will then be automatically muted by all others players by default.





Other players will be able to unmute them if they want, but the muted-by-default state will remain in place until offenders earn enough XP to remove the penalty.
