Denied Thread 'Ingame radios to replace teamspeak'

What does this suggestion change/add/remove:
Adding a radio to roles that need teamspeak.

Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:
There's been some suggestions like this but all of them i can see talk about giving every job a radio instead of the jobs that actually need them like MTF and CI.

Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
Reduce metagaming and ghosting since people wont be able to speak on the radio while dead.
Remove the need for any externals like teamspeak.
Adds RP with people potentially being able...
There was also a poll in the discord, both were before work has been done on the radio system to make it work better. The reason I am suggesting this now after the poll was done is because the poll was done right as the addon was implemented, before the radio groups were added.

Possible Positives of the suggestion:
Much better roleplay
Significantly less metagame
People cant use telepathy to have conversations in front of you

Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
It is possible to metagame radio frequencies, meaning people could listen in on radio comms while on a different job.

Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
Lets be real, anyone who has been in a regiment, department or faction that uses TS knows how much metagaming happens in them, people call out stuff after they die, people constantly call out things they shouldn't really know in character as well as other issues. Having all communication like that happen in game allows staff to moderate it through spectating or logs and generally discourages metagaming like that. Another issue with TS is the fact that people are able to just have telepathic conversations, giving complex orders while in a group of people which honestly makes no sense, things like "hey lets shoot this guy on 3... 2... 1..." shouldn't be able to be something you can just organise in TS, lets be honest it's just bad RP when things like kill codewords exist. The poll in the discord already passed when the radio system did not have radio groups, now that radio groups have been added the radios are much easier to use and could easily replace teamspeak.

Radio is always better for any IC callouts and talk for RP production, it is also just easier to reduce metagame with.

Out of curiosity how do you foresee staff enforcing this.
Sit someone inside every TS channel?

It is not that you have staff sat everywhere, it's just that uses the words "I was told it in teamspeak" then you say that is meta.

A persons game clip can record their gameplay, which includes what other people say on the radio whilst in their area, it is infinitely easier to say "Yeah this person didn't call it out" if you can clip it and it shows them not speaking over the radio.
