As for the "unamerican" claim, falsely accusing your country of a crime could be considered such.  "Disagreeing" is not the issue -- "Denigrating" is.

All sort of trolls are thrown and people react differently to different ones. Bodhi didn't deserve to get muted because someones viewpoint was different.


There are forums such as this one to post your silly little trolls.  Doesn't need to be posted in a gaming arena.  Now argue about the right to fart in an expensive restaurant.

I was not muted by a mod.  Several people abused the "report chat" feature that is in place to report people for cussing and abuse violations.  Whether people agree with what I was saying on 200 is irelevant.  There is a /.squelch feature to stop having to hear what I say.  That is the bottom line with my disappointment in the feature and the abuse it endures.  Just because several people did not agree with what one is saying, they abuse a feature (report chat) instead of using the intended feature (/.squelch) the way they should.  

I never cussed or was abusive to anyone at all during that entire time.  Many were both abusive and one in particular was out right violent.  Thats the opposite of how that feature should work.

irony is always funny.



Actually as much as I might troll in here I think the in game text messaging is for game play. I try to stay away from controvertial issues on 200.

In all seriousness now, i have been on the receiving end of a squeaker squadron abusing the .report feature to mute me.  Every time i shot down a certain player, i would suddenly get muted.

I reported them abusing it and i had my mute taken off.

I dont think the .report function is right, i think that the report thing is good, but not when it puts on an auto mute when a certain level is reached.

I dont know how it works, but the .report thing should send a PM to all online moderators for them to review what has been said no matter what arena they are in, they should be the ones to decide whether someone deserves to be muted, not the community.

Well Bodhi you shouldnt be abused. Unless of course you are a TEEN:)
But to think that you are the minority is ludicrous.
The people in the game and on the boards are definately mostly rightwing leaning.

Sorry Bodhi I had to squelch you and a few of your opponents last night. It just got too much. I see no need of a report though. You were trolling, they were biting and when the hook hurt they had nothing else to do but report you I guess.

   As far as un-American, I'd say anything that goes against tradition, well more than that, goes angainst tradition and really makes the other side know that you are. Anything thats seen as weak. Anything that shows disrespect to generations before us, and their beliefs and traditions/customs.

  Example: Someone with an opposing view that may not get that big of a rise out of other people:  " Im not a fan of John Wayne, I dont care for apple pie, and I prefer football over baseball."

  Example of someone deemed un-American by many may say: " John Wayne was a closet case, and baseball is played by uniformed neo natseez
while the sheep watch...eating apple pie."

   Something like that. Most of the people who strike the right chord, know they are doing so. And then cry victim afterward.

   When passionate about your views, expect the opposition to be just as passionate about theirs. But there is no reason to report anyone in the game over it.

People troll all the time, the troll is not the issue, i have seen people troll for hours on end and no one does anything about it. Just so happens some mod didn't agree with bodhi and squelched him because of a different view point, that is wrong.
 Poor choice in sides, IMO.

Now really MDud, did the person squelching your troll buddy tell you that was why he was squelched, or are you working on hear-say?  If it is Hear-say, then shame on you... but if it was just because the other party didn't care for the bait bohdi used, then shame on the squelcher.
