hi,

spectators should be able to talk directly and only to other spectators and perhaps draw on the map..

Sounds good..thats a pretty good idea. I think its okay for spectators to talk public cause its nice to have a conversation with whos playing. For many reasons: Coaching, You know the person, complementing, and asking about their strategy.

Just like the people in the game, they should have the power to just talk to spectators and the power to be kicked if they're trying to spoil the game. (Have a vote kick for the spectators who try playing dirty.)

I guess its okay if they draw on the map as long as ONLY other spectators can view it.

I believe it's called setting SpectatorChatChannel to Private in Advanced Options.

Yeah, but that completely isolates the specs. I think that what he is asking for is the ability for specs to talk to each other without talking to the players, but also talk to the players in the same game.

That would be a nice feature but since he failed to clearly express the point I decided not to make that assumption :P

Ah, but you did make an assumption. You assumed that he meant the feature that is already there, rather than some other feature. I made the opposite assumption. You see, we all make assumptions. :)
