...as we all know there is a command to mute players which is constantly abused by idiot hosts...my suggestion is that mute lasts f/e 1 min and that it has a cooldown of 30 sec in order to remove the perma ban problem...when muted a warning message should be displayed to the muted player...ofc to every idea there is a downside......pls comment this suggestion...

The idea is not bad at all but there are players which insults because they want. They feel better than anyone and they insult, so if you mute them 1 minute and they have to insult 30 secods (CD mute), it will be the same. I think this idea has an improvemente. The improvement is to mute the player 1 minute the first time, 2 minutes the second time, and 3 minutes the third time with an AutoBanRequest on forum, which will be done by a spambot. So the host won't have to request a ban for insults.
I've seen this work really nice on private bots. Actually I was thinking of suggesting the same thing. I don't know what is the perma ban problem..but I think that the cd of 30 seconds is too long. It should be 1/2 or 1/3 as long. Also, in my opinion, the mute should last more than a min. I am suggesting 2-3 mins minimum. One minute of mute, I think, isn't enough to chill some players.
I frequently mute players who do nothing but whine, I find the game significantly better for it, and I think the other players, especially the ones on their team that have to listen to them bitch and cry constantly feel the same. I've tried unmuting these players after a certain amount of time, and they just continue to whine and bitch and cry, having a severe negative effect on player morale. When you play with these people you just want them to shut up or leave, or for the game to finish as fast as possible so that you don't have to listen to their shit anymore.!mute is a godsend, do not change it.
