I don't know, guys. It seems like alot of wasted energy.

If people truly had the best interest of the game in mind, why not let the folks at HTC use their limited people and time to enhance the game, instead of having to engineer solutions to unsocial behavior by people?

We can choose to not read 200, we can squelch anyone, we can report anyone. All it takes is one right click. If you can't play a game without getting warned or muted, then the answer is in the mirror, not the game code.

everytime i log in I see or hear someone chewing someone else out. bleep bleep bleep bleep. just got old, i still have my account, but i went from playing 100+ hours a month at one point to under 10 the past couple months if that. im tired of the teens, and tired of their mouths. id rather shoot at drones off line in another sim than have to put up with their crap. dont give me the squelch them line. I shouldnt have to squelch 30 people just to play the game in silence.

I discovered the key to not being bothered by the idiots on 200: don't tune to 200. It really was that easy

[Leslie]

I never tune to 200.  If I did I might get mad.   Channel 1 was a lot better, because then everyone could participate or be aware of what was being said.   Have played for 5 years and not been moderated once, in the game or this BBS.

About PMs;
 
 Why should a player from team B have the option to contact his enemy in team A in private, without asking permision or something!?
   You want to contact me in private, ask permition, like "Join msgs", if i want to hear you ,i accept: if not, why ruin my day with some stupid  insults!!??
  imop ,the PMs should not be alowed inbetwen, 2 players in diferent teams, without both sides accepting the conversation ,
   Are some guys out there, that can't take it, if i shoot/Ho/Vulch them or pss them off, i see white text with sparks, for next half hour

Privating me and getting abusive will get pictures taken and then squelched and then pic's to HTC.

I pay the same as everyone else!  I don't private anyone with abuse!  I will not be abused.

I do from time to time private people.  But it's to ask a question or discuss something that happened.  And I almost always private 1st with an are you BZ question and wait.  All these talks have been just that talks, NO abuse was given by either party.   But then NONE was intended by either party!

GHi  great suggestion exactly how player with text banned got by his text banned . he went off on PM over and over and i never spoke back to him on PM. I let him hang himself which I thought he did and nothing was done on htc's end. 3 days later hes got text back and trying to get others to use new moderator players can use to banned someone's text. still nothing done.



  I would say person losing text should lose pm vox too. Or remove PM all together. would also make spying harder.

[Shane]

wow...  i can remember when people got their panties in a bunch for getting called a "lamer gangbang dweeb"


yanno, profanity is the first refuge of the mediocre - so unimaginative.

Good point.  I cant' seem to find a problem here.  I wish there could be more 'mods' for the people on vox who use f*ck every second word.

Step up to the plate skernsk. You have the .report text/chat feature at your fingertips as HT just mentioned.

Dale, not to exacerbate the issue but to help me and others understand (and thus demonstrate what the policy actually is)...

Originally posted by hitech

And so you all know, one of the guide lines that has always been given to the mods, is if someone openly complains about a waring, do not argue with them, if its a one liner use your judgement. If more than one comment, do not hesitate to mute them.

Is it policy that a warning be issued before a muting is given? I ask becuase I was given no warning, after my ten minutes I did not complain, I asked what it was that I said that cuased my mute. i did so in a respectful manner, and even said please in a real attempt to learn what not to say and then got muted again, without warning again. I guess that fits the criteria alluded to in the quote above where I asked the question more than once but I figured my question was missed since 200 was quite...ummm....active at the time.

I said I can live with any policy HTC want to have, all I ask is for the policy to be made known to me. This was clearly not the abusive language policy by the way, I think we all understand the use of naughty words and personal insults or threats of violence. I was in voilation of some other policy and all I want to know is what that is in order to avoid it again.

So, is it policy that folks are not allowed to ask for a reason for being muted when no warning or explanation is given in the first place, and does the asking for a reason constitute grounds for being muted again?

Neither have I except for a bad web link , I use 200 for  taunts, hugs, relaxation, and Baiting my "Pelt Hook" . I dont treat anyone any different  then I would treat a customer or friend in my work .

Yep.

PS - I have never been as abusive as XXXXXXXX was, I heard about this incident and was shocked that he was flying 3 days later.   I leave it all ballbusting and some taunts, but I don't cross the threashold.  

PSS - Currently we have a max of 10 people to squelch.  I ran out of Rooks a few times.   I say make it unlimited, remove the "10 player limit".

Heya Edbert

I hope to cya at the con again this year.  Hopefully sharing a beer with the folks at HTC can get this all fixed.
