Better Chat Vote Mute allows your community to self-moderate chat by voting to temporarily mute disruptive players.

Players with permission can initiate a vote using a simple chat command. Other players may then cast their vote before the timer expires. If the configured vote threshold is reached, the player is automatically muted through Better Chat Mute's API.

Commands

Examples
