Racism in the air....how to deal with it?
« on: October 22, 1999, 07:59:00 PM »
First off, i am not racist, and i'm not going delve too deeply into it here, just a simple question; What happens when some moron logs onto AH, and starts mouthing down everything not exactly like him under the sun?  Can we report him to HITECH or other admin like people?  Can anything be done to stop this from starting?  I basicly could care less about how a person looks, or else next thing you know, people will be getting dissed down for having acne, and i dont feel that's an exageration, it's already started with 'groups' in school, like jocks and nerds. It may be a small thing to comment on now, but if racists rais their young to their way of thinking, in my mind, it's not a far leap of the immagination.  Just a question and my 3 cents

The results of free or too cheap of charges. I may look @ the 30.00 U.S. per mo. & compare it to CFS' price policy & on their's a heap of, of, of, well, you get the picture. Tonite some of the damn whining & name calling I heard on AH reminded me of my school yard days. This too shall pass when these people grow tired of child like practices & move onto more cheaper & "lucrative" pastures. Just give them the space they so richly deserve.
FWIW,
Good Hunting!

Some day a real rain will come, and wash all the scum of the streets(and runways).

Yes, Brethon, you have a good point, I too have been disappointed, not only here, but on other games, with the foul-mouthed jerks that occaisionally show up. An "ignore" command that blanks out their call-sign on your machine is the way to go for HTC, I think its the only really practical way to discourage this type of thing and hopefully they will change or just go away due to lack of response. Just my thoughts.

Screen shots are best use in case of idiots online

Attach em to your email to HT or Pyro and let them deal with it.The biggest problem in a beta is,you can create as many accounts as you want!

But i still worry about when it goes public,with such a low monthly rate,we will need .ignore command because the 10 year old mentalitys that will be draw to AH..

Up the price or install the ignore command soon

A .squelch command has been implemented, I believe.

Cheers,

I most likely won't be paying for Aces High for the simple reason 30.00 bucks a month is darn close to 50.00Can. But I would probably sign up for a pay as you fly type pay plan if it is available.

Why should AH have this type of pay plan? So they can snag players like me who have been paying companies like imol for the last 3 1/2 years at 2.00/hr. I'm not saying don't have the 30.00/mon plan but offer a 2.00/hr plan for guys/gals that might want it.
