English translation: screaming / shouting / yelling

English term or phrase: screaming
I'm looking for the specific meaning of this term in computer gaming. It's an unwelcome activity by gamers, and I'm quite positive it's not literally shouting, but who knows...

Context: an Xbox Live tournament forbids "spamming or screaming".

Thanks, Doron

Selected answer:screaming / shouting / yelling
Explanation:
I don't think it's video game specific.

When players play on Xbox LIVE, they wear a headset to communicate and it's very unpleasant when people scream.

I inserthe the Xbox LIVE Code of Conduct where it's pretty clear.
