Guys, as some will know, a minority, there is some abuse going on towards one of my fellow 71 Sqn members. As Adjutant (XO) I feel it is my responsibility to request, in the stongest and politest terms, to please cease this unfair abuse of said squad member.

With several people PM'ing him, this is tantamount to Bullying and Harrasment! It is not fair and this game does not have room for this type of behaviour and I feel that the people doing this a reprehensible and immature.

They obviously don't like the person, but I request that you keep that to your self and deal with it, as it is not my squad members problem, but is theres.

It has affect him that much that his contemplating leaving the game.

Friendly banter and the occasional argument are inevitable in this game and I accept that, but to carry on in the way they are doing is down right unacceptable.

I have advised my squad member to take screen shots of all the abuse, and to send it to HiTech, 71 Sqn CO, RedTop, BatfinkV our other Adj and myself, as these people need to be delt with, and soon. Before they drive more people away from this game.

I realise this may happen to other sides as well as ours, so I think this needs to be quashed as soon as possible.

I welcome and appreciate intelligent and articulate arguments and discourse, but will ignore those who do not have the intelligence to put together a reasoned and constructive recourse.

Regards ,

An even wiser man gives the ability to /.squelch

especially if it's a PM from the same individual(s)...

but as people said:  

1. send in screenies, film if it's vox, if it's really bad
2. butch up
3. use squelch options

I swear I dunno why people have such a difficult time simply ignoring or mentally fltering  what they don't want to see/hear.

wish HTC would give us the ability to

1. squelch country
2. clear screen of all text buffer (with a toggle to call it up)
3. squelch range vox
4. have .squelched whatever not show up on films.
5. some want a perma-squelch list (notepad, .cfg file)
Surrounded by suck and underwhelmed with mediocrity.
I'm always right, it just takes some poepl longer to come to that realization than others.
I'm not perfect, but I am closer to it than you are.

I hate vox... i think squad channel is good, although if i am fighting i sometimes have to tune off it if someone is having a discussion about something else.

There is nothing worse than a mini napoleon, who knows nothing, on range channel whining out orders trying to order people what to do.

As for the abusive players issue, why did you bring it up on here? wouldnt it be better to resolve the issue privately with the individuals with the problem, then get HTC involved if it continues? Hope you get it sorted soon though, shame to see someone leave the game over that.

Furball, people are told time after time NOT to bring up personal conflicts between players on the board. But still, time after time they insist on doing so.

They dont care, they just want to make their mouths heard. I guess sorta showing us how big their meat really is so they wont get messed with.

Quite a large difference between telling things how it is with no candy coating and starting a thread based on *****ing/moaning/crying about a single person.

Its been said many times in the bast my little brit l33t fighter ace, if you got a problem with someone, tell Hitech. :)

I know thats a difficult concept to grasp. But try.

sure, but why run to mommy when you can break the rules and tell it how it is to people faces. nothing to hide.

i know, ya got bored of playing so ya applied for a board mod job right?

but, you do have the moral high ground, you are right.

damn it.

Why is it people who hate this game, and "leave", stick around so much?
