I think Xray was the first one to report this behavior- sadly it has been around for awhile and there isn't much a person can do about it I don't think except exactly what you did.
Rocky... We do get the occasional jagoff in the server by virtue of its open concept but Crew and I take the spirit of the servers very seriously. SLMOD helps in the absence of admins.
There are generally enough slots where you could pick one on a particular side during a mission and lurk for a bit while on TS3 to see how everything plays out. We don't run with a strict, regimented comms format that others require but if you have a familiar protocol you're free to take it to whatever level you like- Most of the comms is conversationaly informative... but as Crew said there's loads of chatter when we're not working on something. TARS has come up a couple times and I think it's time to take a look into that a little more.
