Have we gotten rid of the 'No kids on mic' rule?

    Well the kids that I've heard using the mic were anything but annoying. Hell they are better than some "adults". Also the rules say "No kids with high-pitched voice on mic.". If their voice isn't squeaky i don't see a problem with allowing them to speak.

    I don't have an issue with kids being on the mic however that doesn't mean I won't enforce the rule.

    I will ask kids wit's a high pitched voice/annoying voice to not use their mic and if they carry on I will mute them. If there voice is fine, they don't spam and they're not annoying then I won't ruin their enjoyment playing on the server if they've done nothing wrong but not hitting puberty yet.

    There's a couple of kids on jailbreak that I don't have an issue with. There are a few stubborn players that moan at them for using their mic when really, they're fine to use it imo and i would quite happily let them command.

    I've got more of an issue with the dick heads who scream 'no kids on mic' as soon as someone under the age of 15 uses their mic, most of the time they aren't spamming or being annoying and usually they are just trying to play the game while using their mic appropriately.

    I usually base it on how mature the kid is speaking, or how many people are complaining about it in game.

    If they're having fun and not spamming etc I don't want to be the one who ruins their experience, although that isn't to say I haven't muted them in the past if they are constantly talking over commander and hogging commands

    Most of the kids who sound like 10 actually just try to play the game properly. I think the no kids on mic is a silly rule personally and should just be based on maturity of the player.

    You can have your own opinion but please interpret the rule properly.
    No kids with high-pitched voice on mic.

    This is because we dont want high pitched squeals in our headphones. This is for boys with annoying high pitched voices that give a headache.

    Does this include 'girls' who have high-pitched voices? Assuming they are 'kids' as well.

    Girls have higher pitched voices than males anyway so we can't stop them from using their mics... The rule applies to boys (young) who's voice is high pitched/squeeky.

    @Wazblaz it's all propaganda the media would like you to believe, look at Margaret Thatcher her voice wasn't squeaky

    But does that apply to Kids and High-pitched voices? or Kid's with high-pitched voices... I may consider myself a kid but i wouldn't place the title "squeaker" upon myself.
    So must i stop using my mic?

    I feel sorry for the little kids trying to become a part of the community and get bombarded with the whole server telling them to be quiet and a week long mute
