i cant stand range vox. only care about squad vox.

btw, if i had a kid and heard some fat old drunken googly eyed dork cursing in front of him I'd smack him in the mouth before he had the chance to finish his next word.

There is no excuse for that crap on range vox. squad is one thing. if your squadies want to put up with bad language that's their choice. No excuse for it on range vox.

I have let my 12 year old step-son watch me play and have let him play a few times in the MA, and I have told him "they cuss" and I says "I know, but its ok because I know better", and he does.

A slip of the tounge once in awhile is excuseable, but if he was asked to stop then went totaly off that is unexcuseable and its just wrong.

Kids hear foul words everyday at school and other places, and the kids saying these words are most likely childen of parents like this guy.

Follow him around, fliming everyword, I think if HT had enough proof of him doing this, he would ban the player for good.

foul language can and should be policed by the "community". If I hear some guy dropping Fbombs on range, you can bet that I will ask them to watch their language please.
I'm not a jerk about it.
I am usually very polite.
I use my "dad" tone of voice, and that tends to work. Generally they will apologize. MOST the time they do actually. It is rare that they keep it up. This game is frustrating, and I understand it getting to you and cursing. I do it myself, just not into a mic, and if I have to type a curse word, #@$@@ works just as well. As does durn, and crud.
Go ahead and curse... just don't press that f12 key before you do it.
If you hear it, pipe in and ask them politely to stop. The AH Community can decide that such things are unacceptable, and it will be.
But to all that have chimed in this thread saying it's bad to hurl curses, I fully expect ya's to put your money where your mouth is.
Next time somebody types out a masked curse word, I shouldn't be the only one typing "watch language please" right? I better not be the only one asking them to please watch there languge on range anymore.
This is "OUR" sim, and we can decide what is and is not acceptable in it.

Ya know what I find funny...is watching people that post pictures of mentally challenged kids and make fun of them on the BBS, comin in hear and talking tough about morality about cursing on vox.

Haha, what? kids of AHers don't read the BBS?

Hehe, good one guys..... continue now on your self modelled customized witch hunt, but be sure to leave out BBS behaviour.

Btw, before u start twisting crap, I don't like swearin on open range either.

Let's not hijack this. Glad you don't like swearin' on open range.
ONE thing you won't see on the BBS is curse words. That's the subject at hand.

What you find funny, I might find offensive.
Not everybody think's "Monty Python" is funny, or that Richard Pryor was a comedy genius. PETA people would think the Dead Parrot sketch HORRIBLY offensive. My Baptist minister would think Richard Pryor crosses the line with all his foul language. Different people have diff. types of humor.

When I sat my parents down a couple years ago and had them watch the South Park Christmas Special (the "it's hard to be a jew, a lonely jew, on christmas" one) my Father thought it was hillarious, while my mother was terrible offended.

"Bad Language" is what we are discussing here. Not "I don't find funny what you find funny".

Exactly well said.
A slip is one thing but cussing someone out is silly and unessesary I agree.
There is a huge difference between a slip and a rant you are correct jaxxo.

Hes's a simple solution, squelches quite nicely:

To play iTunes downloads with QCD and zero loss in sound:

Smartest thing said in this thread.

I paid $10 bucks for a set of headphones if you cant afford that your very sad.
There is a squelch and a report function in this game the operative word here is a"GAME" it aint church or a funeral its a game where a bunch of nerds get together and think there are more than they really are ego's abound in this game as some people get upset and spout off.

But like Jaxxo said a slip is different that a full on rant I think everyone can agree on that one.

Like I said If HTC banned everyone who made a slip from time to time he would be out of buisness toot sweet.

Now is someone starts going on and on being a jerk you should be smart enough to turn down your speakers untill you can mute him and report him.
Its that simple people really it is I have done it myself.

And I might add that on some nights when I am having a rotten night I simply log off untill I can be in a better mood to play a "GAME".

SO if the game becomes so intense that some simply lose it there are all the above options that can be taken and If you dont take the actions to protect your kids ears then you are just as guilty as the offender I mean would you let your kids watch a porno? ofcoures you wouldnt so why would you not take precautions concerning some potty mouths in the game?

You simply cant control all the people all the time so control you own space like marine said and simply report it to HTC its all you really can do.

If you go thrue life trying to control or change everyone you are gonna go nutts just do your best to control you and your familys enviroment.

Think about this we have speeds limits in this country so how many can say they never speed or break any other social taboo's ?

Smack your thumb with a hammer and see if you dont say a no no LOL.

So Is it improper? you bet I agree.
But so is war prejudice theft lying cheating on your wife cheating on your taxes ect ect ect.
All you can do is control yourself and live by your values you cant set values for other people the world just dont work like that.

Unlike Macho man Morpheus If I had a kid and some dork was swearing I would ask him to stop thats all I can do if he does great say thanks and move on.
If he does not I simply walk away and explain to my kid that thats the way
stupide people express themselves and that it is not nice our mature.

Now you have showed your kid how to handle a situation in an adult manner
insteed of showing him how to stoop to primate level and hit someone just because hes an idiot.

Enjoy people and Merry #$%^&*$ Christmas.

Find him and shut his mouth for him, then write "F YOU" with a Sharpie across his face.

The above quoted statement does not make any sense. When attempting to flame someone, you should use proper grammar.

Score:

Morpheus - 2

You - 0

Morpheus, you and I have crossed paths a few times since you've become a BK. I never had an issue before this, but your response to this guy still stands. <> Morph.

I have only reported one person to Skuzzy. Only one, action was taken, and he was allowed back in. The same person when allowed back in, thanked me. He knew he was wrong for what he did, and has never done it again. Look, we're not saints, I can understand a cuss word here or there, but I have heard some guys just "snap". These guys have business being in the MA.

Its almost as if you are saying I have changed how I talk since I've become a BK. If you have known me in the game before I joined the BK's, weather I was flying with the Muppets in festers squad or flying with GBall in the 4Wing. I have always been the same Morpheus. I say what's on my mind (type) and that's it. Some people dont like me because I dont hold back. Some just dont give a crap what I have to say. The ones that dont give crap are usually the ones who get it. So please, for the love of god, dont turn this into a BK thread. Im so sick of that.

To gage the BK's by what I say, its not fair to the rest of them. I speak for myself, and that is it.

Fartwinkel, its not about being a macho man its about morals and doing the right thing. If that is how you really feel then you're a bad parent. Its not your fault, your parents were probably bad parents too.

Think about this for just a minute. When you curse on vox. Who are you cursing at? Guess what? You're cursing at a computer. Do you know what a fool you look like to that fly on the wall. A grown man cursing up and down at a video game.
