Can we add a VOIP for children that are assumed to be under the age of 13? This way they can interact amongst a group of their peers to talk about kid things like fortnite and roblox, they can be shielded from malicious individuals(pedophiles, addicts, loonies, etcetera), people in the adult VOIP dont have to hear squeakers talk about politics, taxes, fortnite or other things they dont understand or we dont care about. The way it'll work is simple: if a person is suspected of being under the age of for example 13, we add them to a different VOIP(the ballpit) for a year until they have proof that they are 13 or above or are suspected of being 13 years old, otherwise, hit them with another year in the ballpit. I know this can be done in other source games like Garrys mod since I saw it done on the sunrust zombie survival server. Or you can do the opposite and put all the annoying individuals into the retard VOIP for punishments.

Not sure how this would even be possible.

This is completely backwards, younger players shouldn't be put into a group of their own to "protect" them, the players harassing them should be targeted, which is what !calladmin and private reports are for. The same can apply to younger players, if they're breaking rules you can !calladmin or submit a private report.

if a person is suspected of being under the age of for example 13, we add them to a different VOIP(the ballpit) for a year until they have proof that they are 13 or above or are suspected of being 13 years old
Excluding players from chatting with everyone just because they're younger doesn't really seem fair.

Figuring out someones age when being this young is extremely hard, and if they're over that age and you throw them into that group it just causes more problems and can ruin a players experience on the server.

people in the adult VOIP dont have to hear squeakers talk about politics, taxes, fortnite or other things they dont understand or we dont care about
I have seen many adults and older teenagers talk about all of those, should they be thrown in that younger group voip as well?

You can also selfmute players in game if you do not want to speak or listen to them.

Or you can do the opposite and put all the annoying individuals into the retard VOIP for punishments.
This is what muting is for, you can selfmute or if they're breaking rules you can !calladmin, no reason to develop a whole plugin for a different voip when those problems can already be solved.

However if you wish to develop a plugin like this yourself feel free and then submit it, it may or may not get looked at :)

Due to online privacy and child protection laws, Steam accounts may only be created by users the age of 13 or older.

That being said, we are not excluding younger members of our community just because you are upset about the content of their conversations. There are numerous ways to personally mute whomever you like available to you.
