Perma Squelch
« on: July 07, 2008, 09:01:57 AM »
This http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,240452.0.html is a perfect example of why attempting to have the game players moderating other players does not work.  Dweebs figure out the system (.report 10 times) and abuse it.

Instead of attempting to police the game, why not have people police what they want?  Make the .squelch command last until you .unsquelch someone; even after logging out and back in.

No more will you have to hear Skyrock's ace pilot complaints, tripl5's annoying arm-chair generaling, or other rubbish we see over and over again ad nausea.

I'm guessing this isn't an option to HTC to protect the kiddies fragile wittle minds?

IMO, the squad that did it should get into trouble. What happened there was completely un-called for and very immature.

Bongaroo the PermSqu has been pitched hundreds of times. It would have happened by now if HTC deemed it beneficial.

I know it's been pitched for a while, and I have done some searching but couldn't find anyone from HTC giving a specific for it not being implemented.  I'm sure a forum wizz will drop the quote on us here in a minute.

It just seems to me that Skuzzy and Dale wouldn't have to deal with so much BS if permasquelch were around.  Just imho since I have no real idea how they have the system set up.  I'd get tired of babysitting people's potty mouths.

Exaggerating, HTC said squelch for sissies, you must report everyone you dont like :huh

It would be nice to have a squelch list that you can edit names on/off so that it squelch's them everytime you log in.

This is the stuff I think HT should post on the main page. Never mind the "Top scores" stuff. Investigate if the .report was use improperly. If it was, post that it was, and that every member of the squad involved has had their text/vox privileges suspended and for how long.  I think posting the stupid things that some try and the punishments they suffer may go a ways in helping deter others stupidities.

Just got to know where to look....

But if you look at that from a community stand point, it realy is just sticking your head in the sand to the problem. i.e. let someone else deal with it. This attitude fosters and breeds it's self, and sudenly doing anything you wan't is "accepatble" on line and on this bbs.

This is why we have never implemented a perminate squelch list, if some one is so problematic that lots of people want to put them on a perminate squelch list, well quite frankly that person should not be here.
