You right about the language there is no excuse for it. But if you are going to shelter your kid, never let him go to school, ride the bus or go out in the world then you have a chance. It is ok for children to know the words, what is more important is for them to be taught it is wrong to use them. I'm not for sheltering children from the every day things that are wrong, expose them to everything and teach them right from wrong. This world is not friendly to a sheltered child.

As for the check sixes, anyone that gets all mouthy about not getting a check six is a newbe and has no clue, if he is not a newb then he is just a dumbprettythang. People that don't give check sixes just means their SA sucks too and they have a hard enough time watching their own six let alone anyone else’s. I'm not saying this about you personally Mayhem, just in general.

You should have posted the call sign as well. People think they can hide on these games, but if the community makes issues like these public then maybe people will realize we are all watching and might think twice.

I agree wholeheartedly with Mayhem. there's no need for this garbage but since it's the intardnet it's unavoidable. A perma-squelch for text AND voice is long over due.

As for answering whiners about not getting a "check six?" I used to respond along the lines of "It's not my fault you suck so bad that you can't watch out for yourself and that you expect me to do it for you."

I mean come on. Only the blind or completedly fixated could miss the AH MA's big honking icons that give away every airplace within 5k of you. Add in the all seeing AWACs radar and only a fool would get on the radio and show himself to be the retard he is for admitting he was shot down by someone he never saw or knew was there.

The most likely reason for HT's argument would be: It would decrease the level of teamwork and cooperation with the pilots in your area and the country as a whole.

He wants to promote this as a team game, not a rambo shooter like Doom.

Then again, range vox does get kind of out of hand. Wish there was an in-game vote system to vote people off the server or somethin. When enough votes have gone a certain way, action would be taken and a temp ban would be placed or atleast a mute from range for a good hour or two.

I couldn't have said that better myself. I'm SO happy I wasn't a sheltered child. Those that were are painfully obvious and stick out like a sore thumb. Poor people.

No wonder you did not get my check 6s last night. Was too busy to hit the keyboard and I was calling them over vox.

We're not telling anyone how to raise their kids.

No one is using Range vox as a team building tool, its being used as a yuk-yuk tool and a FU for no checksix tool... But please continue with the smoke and mirrors its entertaining really!!

Great post!! But next time keep my six clear you *&*^ing M*&DTH#^$&!!!

J/k I totally agree I wish we had a way to turn off range. It over rides squad channels and screw everything up as well as having to hear everyone screaming at eachother because they didnt give a check 6, or killshoooter or something.

PLEASE MAKE RANGE AN OPTION!!!

It's advice not an order, it's without judgement.

It's not besides the point. He mentioned his kid hearing bad language while watching him play an adult game.

While I can understand where he is comming from and I agree there is no excuse for the language, it is like watching an R rated movie and getting mad because it's not a G rated movie.

This is an adult dominated game, this is not Mario Brothers. Some adults use bad language as if they don't know it is wrong. We are unfortunately bound to have some AHole cursing bottom line.

Mayhem, I don't run the surround sound with the family home, and mine are teenagers. It's not just the language, it's the whole attitude thing (folks basically losing control over a game?????).

I believe if you text squelch somebody (.squelch) they are also voice squelched. After the fact I know, but it seems to be what we have.

I was really cuaght unprepared for it. I hadn't flown at all in a few weaks and this takes place 3 minutes into my first flight. My kid hears it and asks me about it. I also have this agreement with my wife. I don't play ultra violent/gorey/bloody/scary games or games with profanity in them, like Q3 postal2 or doom3. when the kids are around, and she doesn't make me watch lifetime movies with her.

Man that is worth giving up everything you love, your lucky!!! We need to start a mens group against the Lifetime channel.

Not true. We use it a fair bit (when the chatter permits) for intersquad kinda stuff, like when the Damned and FBs are working the same area, etc.

But you guys are right about the chatter, sheesh.

I think there is ingame volume for vox? am i correct...

Use teamspeak / Ventrilo or other sound system to communicate... you control the server you control what is up to your standard.. (this as a squad you should already have.. it costs nothing but time..)

http://www.ventrilo.com/

http://www.teamspeak.org/index.php

now the cursing i dont agree with but I also dont agree with no solutions on your end and then looking to the community to police for a solution you as a parent should have..

people who dont parent their kids and then expect others to do it for them i lose alot of respect for them.. They are the same people who whine about the vchip or whatever else they have on the market from the ministry of thought control..

I have nephews that come over and want to watch me fly..(i know what the ma is all about; so....) My solution is turn down the treble and up the bass on my home stereo hooked up to my box.. The only vox they hear BRRRRRRRR BRRRRRRR BRRRRR.. DoctrBRRRR..... and engine sounds...with the other out hooked up to my headphones.. works for me ....

Use your brain and form a solution = good

Complain to community about something clearly in your power to change = bad...

maybe you didn't know that.. so ill cut you some slack.. but now you know and you as a parent have the power to raise your children in anyway you want.. Never forget that..
