I'm basically just preparing myself for keeping it turned off, because with the amount of troll text chat in this game, and the maturity level of a lot of players, I see VOIP turning into one of those features that everyone has to keep off at all times just to stay sane and avoid the trolls/abuse.
Maybe the community will surprise me....but I strongly doubt it lol.
Your points in the original post are still good though, for those that are willing to follow them.
It takes effort to self police. We don't have to be rude, and we probably WILL have to endure some stupidity. But disengaging is the wrong way to effect change (or in this case to build a good system).
for me that effort is worth it. For you it may not be. I respect that. But I encourage everyone to make whatever efforts you can to keep the system viable, up to and icnluding reporting people. Be respectful yourself. And feel free to mute. But dont globally mute if you can handle the occasional idiot.
The fastest way to make the system useless is to cede it to the morons.
