What about enabling ch1 only if you tune to it (like the nr channels) ?

Kewassa, I.E. you wish nothing changed, we have allways taken care of problems when people send us film or screen shots of problem text. And like always we do not respond to the complainer about it when we recieve the email. We just take care of the problem how best we see fit, some times with a warning email, some times closeing the account. Some times in other forms.

We have a different view than the person complaining, normaly they wish to see someone "punished". We have no desire to punish anyone , we just want to end the problem.

Thanks Flossy, I had forgotten about this function entirely. Our squad never uses it (and uses a number channel) because our squad is larger than the current squad size limit and can't use that dedicated squad vox channel for everyone in the flight. At least the private channel would help (if squad limit size allowed us all to form up together again).

thanks...

Looks like someone found out their gourmet coffee was switched with Folgers.

I sent in a snapshot of a privated rant I did not appreciate and received an almost instant response re: this person from the crew at HTC.

What was done about it is not known to me.  But others saw part of the rant when  that person took it onto all, and responded on my behalf as well.  Even urged me to report it.  Others may have reported it as well as many claimed that person frequently did that.

Haven't seen that handle around since then though.  But haven't been looking for it either.

IMHO the matter was handled.

I agree with HTC here.

I don't actually wish anyone punished either.  I just want the abusiveness to stop.  If HTC has to get rough it's on the person committing the abuse, not the community, not HTC, nor will I accept the responsibilty, IMHO.
It's been said we have three brains, one cobbled on top of the next. The stem is first, the reptilian brain; then the mammalian cerebellum; finally the over developed cerebral cortex.  They don't work together in awfully good harmony - hence ax murders, mobs, and socialism.

I'm new to AH, but I have flown in other flight sims on and off for 8 years.  I must agree with pyro, the comments typed over ch1 has gotten worse over the years. I suppose it's due to a couple of things such as arena size getting larger and the security of being able to hide behide a computer.  Unfortuately this is not an easy issue to take on with out affecting everyones game play.  I think this change is only a short term solution though.  Personally I would rather see certain players designated as moderators that have the ability to mute or kick out players that are harassing others.  Let the cummunity police itself.

Keeping channel one open is going to be problematic.

It was back up last night, after a three-day hiatus, but after only 15 minutes I was obliged to squelch it, because of all the junior-high newbs using their "suck something" language.

On the other hand, I really like being able to converse with the more mannerly and eloquent enemy pilots.

What a shame.

>>>Ya know, calling someone a liar is not very nice.

I just call 'em like I see 'em.

>>>How do You know nothings been done ?

Because I've seen this individual back in the air.

>>>Do You happen to know what the workload is like at HTC >>>right now ?

No. They don't seem to post in here that I can see. I would imagine you could tell me, however, since you've appear to be "in the know".
 
>>>Do You know how many films/screenshots they get a day to >>review?

Lets keep the apples apart from the oranges. Different age groups are going to have their own dialect, and if isn't outright profane, I see no problem with it. Whether it "bites" or "sucks" is more a matter of age than etiquette. You really have to mentaly participate to stretch those phrases into being profane, and then - SHAME ON YOU! Get out of the gutter.

Edit:  oops - just reread it. And if "something" isn't a lemon, egg,  or some other food or drink, I can see your point.

 No, I'm not "in the know"
I do know that any time I send a film in,  it gets takin care of.
 And, btw, just  because they don'tpost does'nt mean they don't read it
