Language,inappropriate text,kids online

[Xargos]

Our squad text is for communicating, while our vox is reserved for cursing.

Unless it's Darth Fester, he texts everything.

It's great that the bad word filter doesn't work on squad (RED) text.  That's half the fun of being a Muppet.

Platano get picked on the most because he's the youngest and has a great disposition.

A simple fix.
They are called headphones. My son is five. No way would I let him hear the stuff that comes over vox. But rather than *****ing at everyone else trying to modify what they are doing to fit my needs, I just put on some headphones. Problem solved.

However, rather than reporting people... generally a quick "Hey, guys, I've got a kid in ear-shot, can we keep the swearing on range to a minimum, please?" is more than sufficient.

I've heard someone say that before and when asked politely, i'm more than happy to tone it down.

As for the BOPs thing.... if you have to actively tune to their channel to hear their 'filth' you have no arguement. If you don't like it, get off their channel. Even if it's a numbered channel... you chose to tune to it.... so chose to de-tune it.

Range channel is the only vox channel that could argued about as having a 'code of coduct'.

Rather than go the reporting/muting/whatever route.... how about we just ask nicely?

No ****ing worries mate!

Don't get me wrong. I'm not going to say anything or report any one for a "slip of the tongue".  I will only report some one when it's a blatant disrespect of others.
 This is a family oriented game and there's not just just adults playing. The adults in the game are setting the example for the kids in the game and not just in game ethics. But also in how to treat others and how to be considerate of others. I'm not asking or demanding any one change their vocabulary. All I'm asking is not to key up on range while in the middle of using words that others might consider offensive.

Hey, whats that kids callsign?

[chancevought]

So my pops taught me how to use a gun when i was a kid, but didnt teach me to strafe 10 poor guys runnin for cover.  This game replicates WAR!  This is not the Teletubbies.  You teach ur family that there were 10 guys on each of those B17's lil BObby jus wasted??  And the thousands of young men that died in the war that your replicating??  How the millions of families that were incinerated by the bombs that were dropped from those planes??  WAR is not fun, it is not FAMILY-ORIENTED!!!  Go play ANIMAL CROSSING if u want family oriented gaming.

And then how many of you would leave your kid in a room full of hundreds of strangers UNSUPERVISED??  In case you didn't figure it out yet...thats what you do here!!  SO use your head!!  There is a slight possibility that in a room of hundreds of strangers, your child might be exposed to something they shouldnt be!!  So who's at fault, the hundreds of people that are in the process of replicating WAR, or the idiot that leaves thier child unattended in a roomful of hundreds of strangers??

[B@tfinkV]

if a kid hears some fool on vox swearing and screaming blue murder, most people are going to laugh at the ranter, thus making the child less likely to rant and swear themselves.

exposure breeds experience, shelter breeds curiosity

I've played numerous online games over the years.  This community (no offense ) is the oldest, as in age wise.  I'm in my mid 20's and if you heard what kids 10 years younger than me say in other games, you would spank your kids twice as hard now
