Camera Flash Spam (Please Remove)

[Monjj]

Dear SRH admins/moderators, please remove the flash of cameras! Multiple people have requested I post this on the forum to have it removed. I seriously don't want my eyes or anyone else's eyes to explode from this, or for anyone to have a seizure from the camera flashes. I am requesting you either remove the flash of the camera from being seen by other players, or just remove the camera altogether. Thank you for your consideration (YOU BETTER FREAKING REMOVE IT MAN), ~Monjj.


Edit: Okay, now that I've thought about it more, a better way to resolve this has come to mind. Make an SRH official rule/law stating, "Spamming the flash of the camera tool is prohibited." With maybe exception of paparazzi, but when paparazzi can be a valid job is another question. Making an SRH server rule is probably the most simple, yet effective ways of stopping "flash spammers" (claiming this as the official term for those sad, sad players).

Thank you for caring for other players <3, The flash is the most annoying thing I have seen in my days of GMOD 13.
Whenever some idiot decides to start flash spamming i just gotta stare deeply into the sky and wait for them to fucking stop.

Flash spammers beware ...you may just suffer from a sudden flight/fall to your death.....

True, maybe if there was a flash delay or something. Like, if someone attempts to spam flash with the camera, it would only flash every few seconds or so (no matter how fast the user clicked). Or something similar if the flash was to be kept. I myself don't really care if it is removed or not, for I do not use the tool, but if I am to catch another person spamming the flash near me I may just have to kill them. Or at least just give them a stern talking to. Haha.

ATTENTION: This Server has Strobe Lighting Effects.

I think that would count for all the other server too ;)
Also I don't see many people doing this, without the proper job.
Most people take a custom job of photographer and asks if they may take a picture.

Also if you don't like them:
ask if they go away or just walk away.

Usually, the only reply I get from those people are flashes to the eyes.. but I do try my best not to break any rules to get them to stop. I usually just call an admin if people spam the flash. It's not some major problem that needs immediate addressing, but it is pretty annoying.

When I play and there is 4 or more people spaming the fucking flash I will start to lagg a lot but then my computer is shit.

Doesn't happen to me.

[Legal User]

Well not everyone has really good computers, or a decent one

[Saddam]

How about we warn people who do it excessively

It's allowed only if you're a paparazzi and the person you're photographing is doing something interesting.

When I am the Mayor, I outlaw photography, if they take pictures they get beaten, jailed or upon resisting, shot. It solves the problem.

Don't get me wrong, I like the camera too, but when people spam that shit it kills my eyes. (Especially at night when my room is dark). I also probably should have stated that when I said, "(please remove)" I meant the ability to spam the flash, not really the tool itself. I just stated that removing the tool would be the easiest solution next to making a server rule against spamming the flash, which in my opinion is what we should do.

And I like that about mayors like you, the ones that make good laws and actually RP correctly and in a more agressive, yet reasonable way at that.

Turn on the light in your room!

Maybe I live in an apartment with 3 families in one room, and it wouldn't be the most ideal thing to turn on the lights while they sleep in order to play on your server without frying my eyes. (This is not my situation, but I have seen it on Family Guy so it must be true).
But to be more serious, it's not just me asking this. Many players have requested this on the server, and it probably would be a kind thing on the SRH Staff's part to just make a rule eliminating the problem.

The flash from the camera is something built in with the new code of the camera SWEP, so removing the camera or making a anti-spam thing to the camera itself is a nono. I will check if we can block the flash and only it, if not, then you will have to live with the problem.

I want you guys to only do what you must, and I now think that if you removed the flash or the tool itself, people would be disappointed. So, wouldn't making an official SRH rule prohibiting flash spamming be easier? I mean, do what you want, but I think making an official rule would be a ton easier and still pretty efficient all without disappointing anyone. If there was a rule added, the admins could just warn the player flash spamming, and kick/temp ban them if they were to continue. That's what admins are for right? You make the rule, admins enforce them, players follow them. Once again, thanks for your time and consideration on the subject.
