The sad side of squelching the open channel.

[iculus]

There are so many great people in this game, who say neat, funny, and interesting stuff, and those who throw a "salute" on the open channel (not to mention the many times quotes from The Holy Grail flood channel 1 ).  Unfortunately, Having to squelch the open channel due to a few bananas removes this aspect of the game.  Having a "month long squelch list", as opposed to the "permanent" squelch list could help alleviate this problem.  The month long squelch, allows a second chance for those who've been squelched.

My two bits ...

Salute,
IC

Instead of squelching an entire channel, just squelch the offending players (.squelch XXXX).  When you're ready to give them a second chance, use the unsquelch command (.unsquelch XXXX).

I can't speak for the other bananas out there, but I've been on my best behavior when chatting on the open channel.

I've never seen banana being a banana on channel 1.  

BTW, people who quote the Holy Grail deserve to squelched. No really. I've seen the film a thousand times and having it quoted to me kina detracts from the whole thing.

Sorry banana... but didn't you invent the term?

I've gotten so sick of certain people, that I actually have them programed into my gamecommander.  All I do is say "squelch dumb26" for example (for demonstration purposes only, and relationship to a real pain in the arse who cant control his pre-pubecent urges must be purely coincidental) ...and poofles he is gone.  So far I have about 8 people on the list.  I wish HT would impliment a more perminent squelch.  You should see your squelch list on logging on so you can make adjustments as needed.

Now theres a new feature I'd like.
