What does this setting do?
Lets squad members write to each other regardless of distance. On most servers this is a given, because otherwise coordination only happens in programs outside the game — and then players without Discord are at a disadvantage.
Switching it off only makes sense on servers that deliberately build on radios and proximity. There, communication itself becomes a resource you have to acquire.
Which value suits my server?
Relaxed PvE
On.
Classic PvP
On.
Hardcore
Off, if radios should become mandatory.
What to watch out for
Disabling it only moves the venue
Groups will simply keep talking on Discord. To genuinely limit communication you need server rules, not just this switch.
