    Please, Do not log onto teamspeak and delete channels. They were created for a reason and left up for another reason. IF you do NOT have a compelling hi priority reason to delete the channel, please refrain from doing so.

    Thank you.


    p.s. I am especially talking about MWO oriented teamspeak channels, please leave channels like Mechlab, leveling, tournament, 8mans alone.

    Generally if it is not one of the main channels and has no one in it then it will be purged to keep things simple and not have 100 unused sub channels, I have no idea who deleted them this time but its normal procedure. If a sub channel is needed for a tournament or such then it is created for as long as it is in use then removed. If we were to maintain channels for every tournament team and practice or meeting I can think of over 50 additional channels off hand that we would need, that would make things very confusing for everyone and make the ts widget generally unusable.

    Yeah, I deleted that, as per SOP. Nobody was in the channel, it hadn't been occupied for some time, so I deleted for simplicity sake. It's not too hard to just make it again :D

    Life is hard when you have to create a channel when you log onto TS.

    How about this, I take away everyone's ability to make permanent and semi-permanent channels. I'm tired of seeing a shitload of random channels created and empty. Temp channels for all.

    Also, passive-aggressiveness is not going to win points.

    Every channel in teamspeak should be temp. including lobby. every time I log in I want to see an empty void.

    Aaaand, done. Now all created channels are Temp, no more of this semi-perm stuff. If someone needs a permanent channel, you can petition a red shield. And red shields, if you make it, let me fucking know, cause if I see a channel that I don't know of a use for and I always see empty, I'll remove it.

    Just for clarification. Temp channels are the kind that gets deleted when the last person leaves it right?

    Exactly.

    Semi-perm get deleted when the server resets. Which it almost never does. So they're effectively permanent. Non-red shields weren't supposed to be able to make permanent channels, but in practice they were allowed to.
