ch 200 squelch

[flatiron1]

why can't I squelch ch200. tired of monitoring it. thought all you had to do was take it out of text buffer channel

replace 200 with something like channel 6 Help...or heck just detune it.  BUt, if you are in the EW or MW arenas people use channel "1 all" to talk cross country.  This cannot be detuned or squelched.  You just have to manually squelch inidividuals

If you are not tuned to ch200, you can't read it.

Like Banshee said, you are maybe confusing CH200 with CH1 in EW & MW arenas...

[flatiron1]

well i was confusing the two, what I would like to do is squelch the all ch also. but I guess that can't be done. Can/t understand why the all does not work in late war but does in mid and early.

edit
ok if all else fails read the directions

I think that they don't want it in LW because to many people take the game seriously and if they get shot down its like Channel 200 with the whines. And less people go in EW and MW.

The "All" channel was removed from the old MA (now the LW arenas) due to numerous complaints of the inane banter on it. The decision at the time was to create a channel (200 was chosen) that players may choose to read if they wanted but was still moderated like the original "All" channel.

Personally I like the idea better than being able to squelch the "All" channel, as salutes are still available, and it could be a civil means of communication. I believe this was only implemented in the LW arenas as they are the most used, and most prone to text abuse, but that's just my guess.
