(yes me included.. 6 yrs USN, Submarine service)...  So this individuals "attacks struck a raw cord with quite a few people.  I think Crzhrs point (which seems to be missed by most), is that the moderator did not agree with his position so told him to stop...  I find this an amusing Gestapo like tactic in exercising the mods power...

Bottom line, the abusive individual was allowed to ramble on... Crzhrs asked mod a question, stated his opinion (WITH NO ABUSIVE LANGUAGE!) and got muted.  That was totally uncalled for on the mods part...  I was there.. I saw the text buffer...  And I'm sure that HTC could verify this, however I doubt it will go any further than stopping this thread...  and actually I'm not sure they should go any further.  Let Crz vent.. he has just cause.. oh, and by the way.. I found out he too is a VET.



I tend to agree with Bulzeye here. If Crzhrs was muted then the individual who was instigating should have also been muted. This isnt the first time we have seen threads like this on the BBS. In fact, if I had been a moderator I would have booted the instigator last night, I found him very offensive.

In the end you should be thankful for those players like us who switch to try and help keep things even because our willingness to do so, helps a more selfish, I want it my way player, get to fly his latewar uber ride.

Yes, I for one can vouch for Grizzly, as I too was a 'moderator' of sorts in AW, though we weren't called that.  Unlike here, we were more of a 'visible presence' and made ourselves known when we were around.  I have no idea what training HTC moderators receive, but if it is anything like the training I received in AW, it will be pretty thorough.  I was not let loose in the arenas until my training was complete and I passed a final exam.  Even then, every action we took had to be fully documented and explained and anyone found misusing their authority was out pronto.  I imagine similar standards will be set here and have every confidence that they are.  Moderators are absolutely necessary and do a great job.  :)

Hmm, might have some merit...EXCEPT for the fact that the player was warned TWICE to stop what he was doing. You get warned...stop. You feel you have been unjustly treated...take it up with HTC. Bottomline, if the cop says "stop doing that" and you continue, whining about getting a flashlight upside your head is just plain silly :).

BTW Crzyhrs...this is the LAST place you should take this if you are trying to affect change. By doing it here...you simply come off as a whiner.

Well what I wonder is that how in hell you cant stand normal language which didnīt involve body fluids, sexualism or other usually used vulgarities..???

Well, nowadays I just use Finnish to swear and I can lash my tongue as much as I want , and my pals have fun..

But still... Golly-geemit??? whats wrong about it..? I donīt go to the church, hope that pisses someone off too...



Can you teach me some Finnish cuss words?  The moderators seem to have started taking Spanish lessons lately

You have to hear them before you know how they are pronounced..

Word PERKELE is pretty known, its quite good. Germans during WW2 got cautious every time when they heard that (meant usually couple of drunken finnish soldiers having fun from their point of view..)

SAATANA ==devil (also perkele is about the same..)
VITTU = P*ssy literally, used like F.*.C.K
MULKKU = pr!ck
JUMALAUTA = Golly-geemit

Theres plenty of more, but using these and adding something to them gives you plenty to write on channel one..

Hehe, I donīt mind getting banned.. :cool:

".. and Crazychichen or whatever your name is SHUTUP"

 I agree with that sentiment 100%. But here I was thinking "CrzHrs" stood for Crackz Hores.
