>5. Do not Mic spam or chat spam.

Making noises into the mic, singing, repeating the same phrase over and over again are some examples of mic / chat spam. Just because it wasn't listed here doesn't mean it's not mic spam

So anyways, spamming vapes is an issue because of the sound effect. It's pretty obnoxious to spam it and I think that's why it falls under mic spam. You can still use the vape and everything though. I don't see how this is staff abuse considering you were warned not to. The rules do say that if it's not listed here it doesn't mean it's not mic spam.

Sounds like a cop-out to me but sure.  If you guys really don't want the vapes spammed then remove them from your server until you get it working to a point that its no longer spammable. Add cool down, remove the sound altogether or add a mute for them.

I see where you're coming from on there not being a rule specific to Vape spam. 

The closest rule/Guideline I would associate it with is Mic spam which is mentioned as follows:

Mic/chat spam is the act of producing irritable or bothersome noises into your mic or spamming the chat. 

Examples:
- Screaming, excessive singing, whistling, humming, excessive loud speaking, pressing x where people can your game audio repeatedly, repeatedly telling somebody to do something, playing music into a mic, repeating a word/phrase into the chat box, repeating a word/phrase using !p or @, repeating sexual words/phrases, excessive laughing, excessively doing voice impressions, using a voice changer, and using another language to cheat or say inappropriate things

It's not against the rules to use your Vape, I would just be considerate of others as it is annoying to hear things like "MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN" or "VAPE NATION" every 2 seconds. 

So let's make this simple, don't spam it. You can use it but don't abuse it. 

No there's not going to be cool down added at this time because that's coding things and we have more important things to fix than Vape noises.

I get ya.  If people were complaining about it on the server then I would understand a little better.  However I don't think anyone on the server is really annoyed with it.  I've never heard anyone complain so I assume its fun for all.  But if that's the rules then that's the rules.  All I ask is that they are reconsidered :)
