Meeting Spam protection?

[SleepyUmbreon]

One thing that annoys me is some people who like to immediately hit the emergency meeting button on some maps when the game just starts just to troll. Skeld and the Fungle are the only maps where we either start at the meeting table or close to it. Do you think that maybe we can get some system in place that prevents the button from being spammed as soon as the game starts?

There are several ways to combat this - and most of these ways have already been mentioned in previous posts.

Here is a brief non-comprehensive list of some methods used:

-ban start spammers from the lobby
--you might be amazed at how much crap this alone will prevent.

-limit meetings (this makes them valuable and less likely to be wasted)
--many good hosts I have seen have limited meetings to only one per game

-report button spammers for misconduct
--Try to get other players in the lobby to report for this too, really get the attention of the devs.

-DON'T vote kick them from the game - most button spammers seem to think being kicked is better than quitting, so force them to either stay and play or quit. this is especially effective if you limited the meetings to only one, so now they can't hit the button anymore.
--Most of the time trolls will quit if they have no more meetings, so note these people, put them on the block list and make sure they get banned in the lobby if they show up again.

-Generally just pay attention to how your players act. Use good judgement and good luck!

tell impostor to sabotage because the button will say "Meetings cannot be called during a crisis."
