HTC Please Help Save Our Community

3. Statistics should be kept on how many players have a player squelched and that should become one of the statistics displayable from the scores page. Anyone at anytime can go a query the current “amazinhunk” ranking.

This would lead to no-flying-skill-dweebs to trying to reach the top stunninghunk position with lots of flames in board and CH 1. No go.

I already have a permanent squelch list. I set it up on my joystick button when im in take off mode. Matter fact its the first button I hit when I enter the ma. it looks something like this .squelch XXXX enter .squelch XXXX enter and so on and so forth. I know most of you have good joystick setups. try this sometime I know it works for me.

RWY out !

I like the idea, plus have a <S> button where I can congrat the one just have shot me down (a much more common situation than the opposite). So you save the "kind" side of the game.

Not sure how you read facisim into a permenant squelch list swamprat when any indiviuals list would be exclusive unto them. Thats not a personal flame sir...I respect your right to your opinion, I just disagree.
 I have quietly lobbied for a permenant squelch list for some time now as I do feel there is a.... shall we say surlieness within this community that is more prevalent than other online communities that I have participted in. JMHO, and to be honest I really thought there would be PSL in 1.05 as I have seen much support for one on these boards.
 All the arguments have been made about simply squelching channel 1...for myself this is simply painting with too large a brush, again just my humble opinion.
 So in closing I would like to once again request the implementation of a PSL by HTC or perhaps get some insight from HTC as to wheather or not this is viable for them.

I would agree with this only if its easy to do, since I'd rather type squelch in if it meant getting other features/Aircraft any faster.

[MrSiD]

Yeah yeah now youre creating another SQUELCH mafia!

I want my freedom of whine which is stated in the constitutional law of Aces High!!

Hmm..

[Yeager]

I dont want to get too cerebral on you fellas but I am sensing a coming period of substantiol growth for this community.

In my estimation, as useful as a squelch file would be to *some* of you, I wouldnt find it very useful for me (I cant think of anyone I would want to permanently ignore).  

Not that this is a problem, but I wonder how a branching schematic showing hundreds of people being cut off socialy from hundreds of other people might adversely impact maturation of our community.

Yeager...  we are experiencing reverse maturation now... IMO

People's are only cut off socially if they cannot behave. If they are cut off, they can only blame themselves.

I think some might even learn that it is not ok say anything you want to other people in arena and that might have maturing effect.

Besides, folks can be squelched already, squalch list would only make it easier. With squelch list you could "customize" arena a little to make it more enjoyable place to be.

I agree that a .squelch list would be wonderful.
EverQuest has an /ignore list and the only drawback is that it has a limit of 20.  

However I do agree with Yeager and Jochen that an a-hole list is rather undesireable.

Hi LLB <S>  

[Jimdandy]

I think as in AW a monitor would help along with squelch. Gas was a bit much. I don't mind the people yelling about head on dweebs and all the other game related banter but Gas and that J0E something and his gay killing comments just before that. I love freedom of speech but can't it be combined with common courtesy! Man it still surprises me to see someone like Gas. <S> to all the rest of the sane people  

[GrinBird]

Permanent squelch wouldent be any help against the most dangerous effects of the whine and squeak culture in AcesHigh:

A lot of newbies gets very annoyed by the very hostile tone.
 The old experienced simmers will find the community childish, and will stay out.
 Some of the newbies will get scared away, and that leaves them who actually like that the tone is hostile and childish.

My point is offcourse that newcommers wont use the squelch command, because they have to learn the commandsystem first.

i saw that too skurj - was pretty blatant - noticed a lot of insults and silly "i actually killed somebody so here goes my victory dance and insults" kinda comments - seems like those kind really dont have the staying power though - some kind of formal thing might be too much though they seem to cycle through when the community dogs em enough

Get rid of the two week freebie and you'll nip a lot of this scum in the bud.

No excuse for such language/behavior on any radio channel.

As for paying subs:
should be 1,2,3 strikes your out. Anyone who can't control themselves needs to go, regardless of their flying ability or rank. This could be a simple warning email generated off a perl script from a text capture of a day's radio text. All automated as not to waste AH's programming time
