PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE in the next patch

[CptHowdy]

I was a Firefighter for 16 years prior to moving to ATL. In those 16 years I heard every obscene word imaginable ( I think we even invented a few ) and it did not bother me.  Somehow when I fly AH it just feels uncomfortable to hear the tirades that some players spew out.  I am also in favor of some form of perma-squelching.

I say yes to Perma Squelch.  HTC should also create a way of seeing who is squelched the most so they can keep an eye on them.

I like the idea of HT keeping a naughty list but I would assume there would need to be some way to differentiate between those who are verbally abusive and those who simply are annoying.

My $00.02.

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.

you cannot reason with an unreasonable person.... Its like trying to explain the collision model to somone
<S>

Yeah but when you got a Fire burning everything to hell around you I think you get the right to make a few new ones up let alone send some flying <S> to you and you fellow fire's

[VonMessa]

That would be a great idea.

 

Advocating Big Brother tactics?  From a HST junkie?   

 

[Max]

Say bye-bye to Vanscrew then!

I'm inclined to agree.  While the foul language does not really bother me, (i used to be in law enforcement, so I have heard it all, plus some) I have an 8 year old daughter who likes to watch, and or take the controls occasionally, as I fly.  99% of the time, I use headphones, however, when she comes to watch, she insists on the speakers, so that she can hear the game as well.  ability to squelch the individual channels entirely, as well as perma squelch of individual players, would be WONDERFUL.  That way, if you want to talk out of the toilet, be my guest, my daughter does not have to hear it.

[DrDea]

Gotta agree that we could use a permasquelch and range and or selective range squelch.SOme of the stuff I hear just a bit much.People should have a choice as to weather they want to hear it or not.

[Corrs]

agreed, once you squelch a person, they remain squelched on your list. Another thought to throw out....add another voice vox along side of the voice channel that gives you the option to tune or de-tune range and/or tune a mission ect so you don't have to switch off your squad channel. I think we already have the ability to squelch all, country, and room by .squelch 1, 2, or 3 (please correct me if I am wrong for all I ever used was the squelch 1). If you don't want to see any player text in the buffer I think its possible, maybe? However I still vote for perma squelch voice and text..........

Another thought......HTC appoints a number of game moderators (the AH Ethics Police maybe). Players that meet a certain requirement to regulate the funk in an assigned areana. Each country should have a certain number of moderators and have to log a certain amount of hours each week or month....you get the point...

[yanksfan]

I agree 100% as far as the VOX
But you have to realize that this is the internet
I have an 11 year old myself
NO WAY would i ever let her get on this game and hear some of the things ive heard
Ive heard things on this game that have made me sick to my stomach
you know if it bothers me then its really bad

There is absolutly no reason for anyone at any time to use such language in game. The fact of the matter is that there is no real punishment for it and so long as there isn't it will continue. Risk vs reward, i can't see what the reward for acting like an idiot is, but if they were banned from the game for a week and put on probation for a month maybe this would clean up their act a bit.

So long as we tolerate poor behavier in game, that is exactly what a small percentage of the community will give us, I say there should be a zero tolerence policy, why should anyone be put in a position to de-tune an entire channel to avoid one or two idiots. We don't need new rules, such language is forbidden already, those who violate the rules should be made to pay a consiquence for their actions.

If one is to type something offensive on text you get a warning, or lose your radio, and I know that trying to do the same for vox would be near impossable. So one potential solution would be a volume control for each vox channel, if what is being said on range is unwanted, one could effectively mute it by turning the volume all the way down.

One issue that I see with tuning out your range radio: Your fellow countrymen (the ones that you want to hear) can no longer effectivly communicate with you. So a check six will not be heard over range, or a signifigant target will not get noticed etc.

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 noticed sometimes you fly better.... now we know.

He will be shooting your P terdy 8 down in a 109 soon. Just give it some time.

[MajIssue]

You CAN report foul language... I do. Also , I don't like to hear foul language on our squad Ch. and will let the guys know it... I use squelch frequently and it does work on range channel.
