PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE in the next patch
« on: March 18, 2008, 02:01:52 AM »
With all do respect intended I ask for 100% more control over the filth that comes via game coms. 

If I have to subject myself to to petty vulger on range channel fotter thats fine.  When other's such as my children or anyone's family members are that another subject.

I subscribe that perminate squelching & range be used.
Tonight my daughter listened to a "younger" member of the AH community tell someone to "suck his dick".  If that gets banned here why not give us the ability to control it in the game?

If you want to comment,   no I will not play with head phone's I could never get used to that... No I will not play when my Kid's are asleep this game has no rating & I like to play it anytime I like...  so don't bother.

I never whine without leaving something without at least a suggestion on how to handle said whine.  It's hardly ever the best way but something to think about.

There are four way's this issue can't take place (1) RANGE, (2) pm's, (3) channel 200, (4) by mistake by a trusted comm player.
(4) Talk to your squad CO and handle it that way.  It's worked so far that way :)
(3) is simple... I never watch or reply to 200 messages.  It's not worth watching.  HTC has a .s command to cover a good fight either way.
(1, 2 & 3)  Give each player more control over what comes across the end user's computer via both channels.

In short please update the radio's & the filter system.  Many of us would really like that.

With all due respect, I was aware of that phrase, and knew what it meant when I was 7 or 8 years old.. I'm now 32, and that knowledge as a youngster didnt turn me into a psychopath.. I dont think  :noid

However, there is definately something to be said for just being polite..  I dont really disagree with you, it's just that I dont think words hurt people...

Yes sir I agree with you l  did know also what it ment at that age.  I'm not sure I cared so much then as I do now :)  But none the less if I want to try to protect MINE from as much exposure as long as I can that would be my right. 

It's a shame I force my kids away from me when I play AH due to the range channel banter when I can but they still get some exposure from time to time & there is nothing we can do about it.

Now I'm slightly older then you but I don't disagree with you one bit unless we are talking about how to raise my kids. 

I hope you see my point.

I agree with MGD, maybe kids that young already do know those words, that still no reason why they should have to hear them on a game like this that is supposed to be family friendly.

I would also be in favor of a perma-squelch.

With all due respect sometimes my four year old cousin likes to sit by me and watch me "pway aiwpwane". Some times I let him sit on my lap and fly around and shoot at red people. I dont want to subject him to some of these kids (men who act like kids) with foul language on range VOX. I dont know if you ever known a four year old but they repeat EVERY word they hear. Iv made the mistake of cussing in front of him and you can only know what happened next. He started running around the house yelling that word at the top of his lungs. Needless to say his mother was really mad. Thing is young kids may "know" the words but most dont know what they mean. When I was nine I knew what sex was but that doesnt mean it was ok for me to watch porn. Same thing goes for this stuff.

It's not a whine when you are trying to protect your kids MGD.  :)

To many people think they can say whatever they want on vox because of freedom of speech, or because they are sitting in their own homes talking. What they fail to remember is that when they use the comms in game, they aren't just using it in their living rooms, they are using it in everyone else's living rooms that can see/hear it.

I don't like some things i hear on vox, there's some people who should get their a** whacked for the things they are saying to people, and i would like to see somekind of method to ignore/squelch fast individuals permanently.
It's not viable to turn of area vox completely off because of some people... so we should have some easy and fast way for it.

Example, please dont take that name as for real i just typed it in random:

Player55467337798734: %%&¤"# you #¤¤#%&" head, i will #¤%#¤&#¤& mother etc.

And then me typing ".squelch player5546...ohh wrong again .squelch player5467"

So is this convenient enough ? no... and i would not want to hear that, nor should anyone's children.

The problem with freedom is that it comes with responsibility... Things would be a lot better if the punks of this world could understand that

Yeah, give us range squelch.  Some guys are just blabber-mouths and will never shut up on range.  That is reason enough.

I really have not come across but a few pilots that cuss alot, but while I agree with a perma-squelch I as a parent of a 3 year old and a 1 year old know that there is a chance of some one cussin' to be heard so I use the ole' trusty head set when I fly.  Before you take this as a dig on you or your request, let me restate that I infact DO agree with you on the lack of tact over the radio and it's potential harm to the youngins'.  This is why I also AGREE with you on the need for some type of permanent squelching.  That being said, I also feel that while I do not cuss much there are those that do.  If the consession must be made of me wearing a headset so my youngin' does not hear the occasional ranting tyraid then so be it.  Sadly not everyone can conduct themselves in a manner befitting a decent mouthed respectful person.
SO...

and I hope your request gets through!

Exactly! Try to explain that to those who think they have the *right* to spew filth into my living room where my wife and kids can hear it. It doesn't go over well, believe me.

This game is aimed at a general audience. (per HTC) You absolutely should be able to let your 11 year old near this game.
