If memory serves correct the only problem is that programming your are specifically paying to get like HBO, Cinemax, etc  and I would imagine here are not subject to these FCC regulations as they are not being bradcast over open airways such as local TV and radio programming.

Basically It is up to HTC  to set or not and enforce or not  his own standards.

For me personally the language thing doesnt bother me one way or the other and is pretty much a non issue
 
My kids 7 and 16  arent shocked or bothered by it . Put it this way. My dauighter now 7 favorite movie is Predator" Has been since she was 5.
So she knows the words but never uses them.
My son. only on Rare occasion and then never in front of women.
But thats me and my kids. Others I understand do things different And I can understand the reasoning behind their thinking even though I dont particularly go along with it

For me The babbling in combat areas about .. the Olympics for example. Or not being able to get a word in edgwise with my squad mates is a bigger issue then the language used.

but thats me

Obscene, Profane & Indecent Broadcasts -FCC Consumer Facts
 
It’s Against the Law
It is a violation of federal law to broadcast obscene programming at any time. It is also a violation of federal law to broadcast indecent or profane programming during certain hours. Congress has given the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) the responsibility for administratively enforcing the law that governs these types of broadcasts. The Commission may revoke a station license, impose a monetary forfeiture, or issue a warning, for the broadcast of obscene or indecent material.

Obscene Broadcasts are Prohibited at all Times

Hmm I think I was there for part of  this. Telll me. did this happen to be on the west side of the southern portion of the map?
I missed his comments but did manage to get into range just in time to hear 2-3 people chewing him out and telling him to grow up.
I have a funny feeling I know exactly who you are talking about.
If I bet $10 on it would I win?

I commend you for your responce over vox to him.
You were far more polite then was due.

 Yes they will, but it is set forth by the Federal Communications Commission that this will not be allowed over any radio Fqcy.
   If it is found that HT has violated such statutes there could be warnings, fines and or revoked license.

This has nothing to do with allowing children to listen or 6 calls, this is about allowing someone to break the law.

You may have been there Dred. And yes I think it was in  that loc exactly..like 33? I think it was. ;)

As far as being polite? Well its been said that there is no need to prove it by arguing or something along those lines. Cant remember exactly what it is.

I hear this type of stuff all the time tho. What is said on squad channel (not that that makes it ok to rant like that) is between a few guys that know one another as a squad. But to publicly go off like that is just not good for the team , knights , or that persons squad.

You prolly were there so even tho you may have heard only a little bit of his rant , believe me it was much worst.

I think I commented to my squaddies something to the effct of...

Hmm...think with all that ranting and stuff he'll make friends and influence ANYONE to help him with that carrier? They all laffed and commented on it as well. Basically we all said the same thing.

AND as CO of a squad...I see that or hear that type of thing on Open channel on Voice VOX  or 200 and Ill be taking care of it pronto.:mad:

GoFaster that was a vent a decloration, I do give warning mostly over voice when I know where my check six key is I use them to. however voice is faster. in this case there was no way I could have issues a six call even if I new where the key was and if voice was on I still would have not been able to give the warning in time to save him. you could have put a 100 bucks on my keeping him alive and I woulda lost the 100 bucks no way I could have saved him. To be blunt it was his booboo not mine and then to go after me for his screw up. my view has always been if I give you a six call be thankfull if you give me one "thank you" in advanced. If you don't give me a six call no biggy my fualt anyway. If I don't give you a six call then "sorry" but iam not obligated to it.

As far as team work is concearned ... well thats why I'm in a squad. I gave up in country loyalty and team work way back in aw4w on aol.

so your telling me you have never ever missed given some one a six call?

Speaking personally, I think this attitude and its ramfications are much more important than saying some words that mean "to copulate" and "to defecate".


I think you miss the point "I couldn't give him a six call in any way" this was a vent BTW and I was erked. but if I'm going to get my arse chewed and cussed out becuase I miss giving some a six call, I'de rather tell the entire community DO NOT EXPECT SIX CALLS FROM ME!

Nothing's difficult about it -- I throw check 6s out by the bucketful when I'm scanning for places to jump in, or when I'm otherwise not tightly engaged. I sometimes worry that I'm annoying others with all the checks, in fact.

However, I get annoyed at the attitude some have about 6s, which seems to be that if shot down its someone elses fault. Those folks also seem very vocal about their ..... disappointment .... that no one gave them a check 6.

I guess I think of it like givng gifts to my kids. I like doing it for them, and love it when the gifts are appreciated. But, when the kids start demanding gifts or whining about what's given, there's an attitude  problem that needs to be addressed.

And, I don't think anyone would disagree that many in the MA could do with a sound spanking followed by a time out in the corner.....

I understand you are venting...  But this is sort of what I'm getting at.  If there's a bad apple, then see him as the exception and move on.  Don't let it affect your behavior to others.  IOW don't let bad culture feed on itself.

Yes, certainly I agree with that.  But don't let it affect you or your generosity to others.  Disassociate yourself from it, and it won't annoy you.  The guy who's foaming at the mouth should still be corrected, of course.

It sounds like a small thing, perhaps, but it is on these small things that a culture and a community are built.
