Why the filter exists.

[indian]

Ill line up with the bellybutton kisser, those of you who work around airplanes know that we mechanics can cuss up a storm. But even then it is not right to cuss in front of everyone, withh all the training I have been threw in the military and American Airlines you learn that if it offends 1 person that is 1 person to many. In most jobs you could get fired for offending or using the wrong languauge in front of the wrong person, mine included. If you have to cuss to enjoy this game then seek a good counsler cause something is wrong with you. I play this game to have fun and I do things my way unless Im with one of my two wingmen then I play alittle more seriously. I dont ever get upset at a game.

I think the filter is typical American prudeness also happens alot with music too.
where text is sometimes censored.

If it helps to make a better MA athmosphere ok .Than it should be, but the most worse argument i heard was that children where looking.

Than we should mute reallife too and that is impossible.

Cursing does not make u a bad person it's just a uncontrolled moment realeasing some temper.

I also want to mention that i didn't invented the flexible F word

I learned it from ur american movies

You guys got crack and didn't invite me?

To all the asskissers:
The one thing about this game that gets very tiresome is watching the rank-and-file booty smoochers run up to jump in with the high-fives and the crack licking eveytime they see an opportunity. You know exactly what im talking about. Its one thing to agree, or state your opinion, its another thing for the same people over and over to constantly spam their asskissing on the boards and in the game.

LOL.. I'll object to bein called an bellybutton kisser. LOL, my miserable hermit existence owes itself to the fact that at this late stage in my life I've never learned how to be an ass-kisser. LOL... if you came in my house with that line of BS..  called me an bellybutton kisser to my face; well, pilgrim; I'd kick yer bellybutton out on the street. And mail you yer teeth.  

Let's not forget; it IS HiTech's game. He desinged it. Wrote it. Risked his bellybutton to produce it. Let us play with it for MONTHS free.

Yes we DO pay for the PRIVLEDGE to come in his house and play with his toys. But it's still his damn house; and his gawdamn toy.

So; don't confuse RESPECT for bellybutton kissin. And respect is what seems to be lacking here; and had some more of it been routinely displayed in the arena less of THIS would be the result.

Thanks for yor post HT.

To me, most important is your approach to customer base. We can agree or not on some particular issue, but you allways come with an answer. That's my main point (apart that this game is PLAIN FUN) to be here.

On this particular matter, I don't agree with your points, though I feel more comfortable after your explanation. Still believe that client side filter is at least as efficient as host sided one, and far less compulsory.

I thing Thog's post is 100% right, and, on your reply, you can buy either Playboy, Hustler or Fisherman Illustrated it's YOUR choice. That's the point. You can choose.

At the end, and as somebody said here, we all vote with our wallets, and I'm voting yes.


Hehehe, now, can I cry profanity filter is overmodelled?

You still can! Raise the rafters with it!

At your house.

You just can't TYPE it in now. Isn't the loud vocal more effective than typing it anyway?

ooohhh. man.. right in the NUTS! LOL!

Smmmmmmoooooocccccchhhhhhh!!!

Thanks for the filter!!

 

Hey Swager, move on, it's my turn !!

Smmmmmmoooooooccccccckkkkkkkk aaaaa !!!!!

Filter: wise choise.

But keep the possibility to kick racial people, it's so funny when the lightning fall from sky and the blue voice say : "YOU DESERVED IT, SON"

WTG !!  

Bota, take this !!  

[straffo]

It's time for you to learn foreign langages  
ie :

US                    FR
Sucker                con,connard (I've allways a strange feeling reading "con inbound"   )
Ass                   cul

and so on ...

Hmmm....if someone comes in my office and tells me to F#$% OFF! do I put ear plugs in and ignore him? No, I tell him to get the hell out. The server is HTC's place of business, we are their customers. What's so hard to understand? If not wanting to hear the garbage spewed by short tempered players makes me an bellybutton kisser, than "guilty as charged"

Is the filter English only? Since you said you tailor the product for the desired market - is that implying non-English speaking persons are not desired as your customers and don't deserve the same level of service?

Got a point there Fats.

That's it! HT - pull Supe off the carrier, we need to get him diggin' into English-Spanish dictionaries lookin' for foreign obscenity translations!

Yankee - yer gonna cover Japanese.

Ronni - yer on Czech.

Nate - the F6F-5 is gonna have to wait.

Pyro... well... let's see... Perhaps your time would be best served posting to the News section a short essay on.... *perspective*.

[aztec]

In case you didn't notice Botabing, Ht did remove the filter from the squad channel which you state is your biggest problem with it.
 Thx HT for taking a stand and trying to improve the atmosphere of the game...it needed it. I would still like to see a permanent squelch list though.
