[ULX] [UPDATED/FIXED] ForceMic ~ Force players microphone on!
Tomzen:
My terms of use:
If you use this plugin, you should know that I am NOT responsible for any inconvenience you cause by using it, it should be used appropriately and responsibly.
Please do not use it for any illegal activities, such as credit fraud or hijacking players accounts.
SOURCE:
Temp Removed
USAGE: I recommend using console, or menu to run this command (located in Fun).
Menu: Fun > forcemic/unforcemic > Player BEST OPTION
Console: ulx forcemic/unforcemic "<name>" SECOND OPTION
Chat: !forcemic/!unforcemic "<name>" LAST OPTION
INSTALLATION:
Download == Download and extract the zip file and drag the contents into the /addon file (garrysmod/addons/), relaunch map, and its done.
Source == Copy the source code and paste it into a new .lua file in /sh file on ulx (garrysmod/addons/ulx/lua/ulx/modules/sh), relaunch map, and its done.
IMPORTANT:
This plugin is not like the other "ForceMic" commands, this one allows a message to display in chat every 2 minutes (120 seconds) saying that it is installed, and to stop it from appearing you can type "!fmaccept" in chat, or "forcemic_message 1" in console.
Without this "message" feature this command is illegal in most of the world, but the problem is that people will know that you can listen to them, which will hopefully decrease ghosting. Do NOT remove this feature.
Caustic Soda-Senpai:
Careful about this code. In some countries its actually illegal to invade individuals' privacy like this. Correct me if im wrong, but doesnt this go against the American Constitution or something?
Dharmvir Sidhu:
It does go against the american constituion, and is also illegal in Canada. It's been a while, but I believe someone posted something exactly like this on these forums a while back, and there was a discussion about this as well.
Bite That Apple:
Yeah, as cool as this addon is, this is something I'd not prefer to see on servers, though I quit Garry's Mod a years ago anyways. Anyways, yeah..
MrPresident:
Here is what I dug up when researching the morality/legality of this:
1. In MOST states/countries you can not legally record audio/video of someone without their consent if they are on private property where there is an expectation of privacy.
2. You might be in violation of COPPA (http://www.coppa.org/coppa.htm) which is a SERIOUS offense and could land you jail time.
Here are some ways to mitigate legality:
1. Provide some form of disclaimer that the user sees when they join your server using this addon (This would need to be part of the addon). This informs them that they are subject to monitoring and as informed individuals, they can choose to waive privacy if they choose to stay.
2. The above would not apply to COPPA violations. Children under the age of 13 can NOT consent. Bare this in mind.
Here is some informational links regarding:

Bottom Line:
We decided for the previous release of something similar to this, that there would need to be a disclaimer as a part of the addon.
I am going to remove your link to this script until such a disclaimer is added to your version.
