Automatic filter always warn you 2 times, and if you hit filter your message will not appears in buffer. If you see your words in buffer and got muted it was mods not filter.

Is it just me or is that a load of BS. Where did the warnings go? If AH was a box game it would be rated M for the blood and valance, and you tell me I cant say ****? Then when I got upmuted I said

"Since when do you get muted for saying chit? What next am I ganna get baned for saying nappy headed hoes? Even basic cable can say chit."


And guess what? Another 10mins. I think HTC needs to tighten the leash on thier dogs and tell them to chill out. They say that AH is a game for all ages yet if an under aged kid wanted to buy a (M for mature) game at best buy they need an adult to buy it for them. I dont know about you guys but I dont know any 14 year old kids that have a credit card. I think anything that a show on basic cable says you should beabel to say in AH, but thats just me. I might get PNG for this but what the hell...muteing someone for saying ****. woth out giving them a warning is retarded.



Ok now back to your n00ks and F22s.........


Just if any of you dont know the word its "$H1T".

I had a credit card when I was 14

Some of the mods in the game need to be demoted and new mods be put in place.  As for the swearing matter, young kids are part of the game, thus language moderation is part of the game too.  So in essence, yes, the game does have  an Elementary School aspect to it.

You can't sez ****?!

Oh  Meps!  Feldercarb!  Frak!  Goram!  Ruttin'!  FAY-FAY duh PEE-yen!   Ai-yah Tyen-ah!   Tsway-niou!   Da-shiang bao-tza shr duh lah doo-tze.

you know how many times ive ben muted for saying poop?...ha cant count...so when i log in now...i make sure to talk about poop...but hell im the most hated player in the game...i know they have it out for me

The only time in the over 5 years of playing I lost my chat priv's for a week one time.  

I merely told this person to "watch his own a** from now on."   That is word for word.    But there seem to be quite a few "holier than thou" types that play this game.   But that facade is easy to see through, as you peruse the BBS info under their location, sig's, etc.    They aren't fooling anyone.

The only time Karaya reports someone is due to excessive typed cuss words (done twice) and when idiots spew anti-semitic remarks or other stuff that belongs at their dinner table (5 times).

"HTC turning into elementary school?"

 lol.   And here I thought this was a topic that was an indication that the AH online environment had reversed it's downward spiral and was starting to mature once again.     I can see now it remains at best at "grade school" level.

Don't blame the moderators for an inability to control yourself.  If you think you have some type of right to use profanity online, you are sadly mistaken.  There is no rationalization you can use which makes it appropriate.

If you stand on a platform that has a lever available and a sign that says, "Pull this level and you will die", and you pull the lever.  Blaming the guy that put the lever there is pointless.  It is your fault for pulling it.

I saw someone say "*****, I just flew into a hill!" it didnt get filtered out. I said, on the same channel "Wow, you didnt get muted for that?!?" He said "I guess not." "Wow," I said, "did they change things?" "I guess so" was the response. "Hold on, I gotta try this" "*****". Muted. WTF?!? ON THE SAME CHANNEL, HE SAYS IT WITHOUT GETTING MUTED OR FILTERED, SECONDS LATER I SAY THE SAME WORD ON THE SAME CHANNEL, AND WITHOUT WARNING, MUTED!!! Im not complaining about filtering words, but a warning, or at least a lack of double-standard would be nice.

Another thing you've got to consider is that a lot of people who play this game ARE mature, married, and with families.

It's one thing if a 13 year old is playing a game in his bedroom with no one else around, but a lot of times we have wives and kids nearby that can see and hear what goes on in the game.

I don't think it's the players that are offended by the profanity... it's the fact they don't want their 5 year old kids to see and/or hear that stuff.. especially from a video game.

And unfortunately, as with anything else, there are going to be inconsistencies.. some people may get put in "time out" and others may not for the same violation.

Reminds me of the time that two people blew a red light in front of me, and not seconds afterwards I get pulled over for having expired license plates.  Is it fair?  Probably not.  Do I have the right to complain?  Not really.. because I was breaking the law too.

The text filter needs to include punctuation to prevent episodes like this. People do know this is a workaround to the filter, and when mods aren't logged in, this kind of thing will continue to happen. Never understood why it isn't already, but maybe HT can fix it.
