[Rejected] Spectators speak to dead people

[TheZZL]

On jailbreak, spectators can't talk to dead people in the chat. I was wondering why that is, and if we could add it that would be nice. Sometimes I'm spectating a hacker, so I can't talk to my friends or help someone out in the chat.

Pretty sure I saw someone say that having this in JB would only make it harder for the dead admins to control the players since you could possibly have mic spammers both alive and dead. I honestly could not care less cause either way im having players muted when I'm dead, but I don't think it would be that great of an idea cause it could possibly make JB harder to control and hear for dead admins than it already is.

Strictly in text chat, not voice chat. This would be similar to TTT's dead chat, where spectators have the ability to speak to dead people in chat.

For example, today I was spectating a hacker and couldn't help someone out in chat. No one helped him, so while switching to t and helping and switching back works this just makes a little bit of sense.

@TheZZL This seems more like a suggestion so I'm going to move it to the Suggestions Box so we can properly track this. I'll gather some thoughts from the team around this. Personally I don't see a problem with allowing spectators to talk with dead people through strictly text chat.

This is something that we're not looking into since it's not difficult to just switch to a team, type what you want to say, then go back to spectator. This idea seems like it has limited use cases and wouldn't really be necessary. Thanks for the suggestion though!
