* You can individually mute anyone else (it will only apply to you, everyone else will still be able to hear them). But muting a member and forgetting about it creates a lot of cross-talk that is very difficult for others. You can also adjust local volume settings if someone is too quiet/loud. | * You can individually mute anyone else (it will only apply to you, everyone else will still be able to hear them).

* Be aware of your airtime and be considerate of the fact that many people wish to participate. Merely waiting for your chance to speak, as opposed to listening actively. In other words, do not hog the channel, use a sub channel or create an on-demand channel for lengthy discussions. | * Be aware of your airtime and be considerate of the fact that many people wish to participate.

* [[Mumble#Push-to-Talk|Set up your PTT]] (Push to Talk) Key, the real world is a noisy place and while we love to hear from you, we do not need to hear you devouring that tasty snack. Make sure that you assign a key that is not regularly used to avoid constant "keying-up". Its probably a good idea to keep instrumental and vocal serenades to a minimum, unless it is open mic night. | * [[Mumble#Push-to-Talk|Set up your PTT]] (Push to Talk) Key, the real world is a noisy place and while we love to hear from you, we do not need to hear you devouring that tasty snack.

* Do not barge into channels where players may be focused on their own events. Listen carefully when you first enter to make sure you're not interrupting, again wait 30 seconds before speaking. For urgent interruptions use '''''"Break Break"''''' at the start which is a sign that you have urgent intel, do not use this for random info, however, keep it relevant. | * Do not barge into channels where players may be focused on their own events.

* If urgent then you may use the 'Break Break' que to indicate you have something important and urgent to say. Bear in mind though that what you have to say may already be known, try using text instead. | * If urgent then you may use the 'Break Break' que to indicate you have something important and urgent to say.

===Mumble Channels=== | |||
* There is an AFK & Idle (away from keyboard) channel that can be used when someone steps away from their computer (but has chosen to keep mumble open and/or minimised). This will mute the member until they are ready to come out. When a user comes back, they can move back to the voice channel they wish to join. Do not move anyone to that channel unless requested to do so by them. | |||
* Do not 'drag' others to channels without their knowledge or permission, this is considered rude. | |||
