Mute (Drillimation Online)

A mute (ミュート) is an administrative action that moderators, server administrators, and staff can set to players in Drillimation Online. Mutes generally occur in games that have chat functions enabled if a player says something that a moderator or staff member considers offensive. They can sometimes be automatically issued through a list of blacklisted phrases or keywords. Mutes generally last from 10 minutes or even up to 2 weeks, depending on the offense number, and during that period, the player cannot speak.
