As I understand it, going through the logs in FT is quite a headache, not as simple as hitting ctrl+f. Think about it, everything you do (log in, chat, friend/clan requests, attacks, being attacked, changing maps, buying, selling, etc. etc. etc.), now multiply that by the number of players in FT on any given day, 24 hours a day etc... I come up with some big numbers just guessing at it. Its not simple at all.

Plus, we only have 2 admins at the moment, so that's a lot of work... I can understand why they're not too keen on looking at logs of (probably) foul mouthed players.

So my advice to any permanent muted character looking for unmute is this:
Pretend you're unmuted already. Go for a full month with clean chat. THEN approach the GMs, stating you've cleaned up your chat and think you deserve an unmute. A clean chat log can only strengthen your argument for unmuting.

P.S. asking an admin for an unmute, and them finding your chat logs still dirty, will make them less likely to be willing to check your logs again.. so take my advice and clean up BEFORE you ask for unmute.

Point taken. The only other places Ive had anything to do with logs was when i was DMing for a server on an oldschool game called nwn. Theyd written a billion different custom scripts for things some of which included for each player a log of general chat. Friends messages/messages to other players and party chat. They had it all slapped into text documents with date/time stamps on each sentence said.

So my bad for assuming the logs here would be a similar setup since each place is going to be different. Ehat youve said here though on those wishing for their "final chance" could you sticky that somewhere? Even though its not a guaranteed unmute it'l give those seeking to attempt such a way to start on it. Even though its obvious to some but not to others.

On another note, is it possible to expand the friends list a bit more? Not for the sake of mutes being able to talk to more people but for those who do have full friends lists of people they do talk to and no room for others they also talk to on a regular basis too.
