Hello!
Im sure a lot of people have experienced the Auto-mute feature, whether its from being muted, or from hearing about others.
The main problem I have had with the Auto-mute feature, is typing something accidentally, due to using global chat by accident instead of party chat or direct messages, and then this resulting in an Auto-mute. I think that sometimes it can seem annoying to certain players that if they make such a mistake, that they are then muted for 5 minutes. Another bother I find is that this is noted down by the server and can potentially have them look like a bad player if they then decide to apply for a staff role, which I definitely understand, but for accidents it can seem annoying.
In my opinion, I think the easiest way to change this, would be to set a blacklist of words, that if are typed in chat, either don't send at all, or the player is given a verbal warning. Obviously, there would be certain words that I believe would be Auto-mute worthy, such as words that attack someone by their race, religion, or skin colour etc.
I hope this post is taken into account and thank you in advance for taking the time to read this.
