"REPORT CHAT" command. it works !
« on: December 27, 2008, 08:07:22 AM »
 G'day players !

The other day I was fighting in the dual arena.
Some player became upset and wrote down immature racist comments.

I used the "report chat" command. I believe other players reacted same !

Because of immediate responce from HTC, it was confirmed that this same player will be playing with his GI Joe doll for a little while !

WTG HTC !!!!

ahhhh, so you're saying you got a bunch of squaddies/friends to mass report someone, knowing the offices are closed thru monday?    :rock
Surrounded by suck and underwhelmed with mediocrity.
I'm always right, it just takes some poepl longer to come to that realization than others.

I'm sure it was a personal message for a reason

So are you saying they should have waited to report the dweeb until the office was open?

nooo.. bear in mind when i posted all i was responding to was "it works!!!"  there were no details, at the time.

Also, I think it's just his chat privililedges that are suspended, not his ability to keep playing.

i also see no reason for this thread.  of course the .report function works... duh...  and of course HTC's actual pre-vacation response was nothing less than expected.

The point here, really, is.... if everything had been taken care of, why post *now.*  or even at all?

Good for you!  I for one am very tired of the conduct of online  gamers.  Foul language, threats,  personal insults to peoples family, religion race etc etc.   The surprising thing is that many of the people who exhibit these types of childish behaviors are actually adults.

 I will say that for the most part the Aces comunity is better then most.  Keep up the good work!

I totally agree helm.  Vulgarity is the first refuge of the mediocre.

Maybe its to encourage folks that that dont have to take abuse from other players?   It is nice to know that this important function works.  I for one am glad we have it.

of course it's a great feature, and like many "features," it *is* open to abuse, which has been related in the past.

based on the unmodified original post, there was no indication of the circumstances. also, based on my time and observations in the DA, it could easily have been a squeeker squad gaming the feature for chits and grins.  Obviously with details coming out, it seems substantiated with appropriate action taking place.

as we know HTC frowns on frivilous reporting and it can backfire on those thinking they can (ab)use it.  we also know HTC frowns on posting stuff that should be handled thru support.

As for my sig... heh... i try to be original.  i saw a recent sig that i really like and found applicable to this game, moreso since it totally sums up my opinion of certain skwadz/players in certain arenas:

"A cult of personality or personality cult arises when a country's <skwadz> leader uses mass media to create a heroic public image through unquestioning flattery and praise."

discuss.   :aok

Ok Shane, I'll try to answer why I posted this thread....
First there is no reason for me to post the name of the player. I made an observation and he was mouthing off with another player. I didn't want to get involved... There's no need for me to post further details of the comments...

The main reason I wanted to mention this is because in the past, I've seen some players complaining about HTC not doing anything about players going foul during game play....(when using the REPORT CHAT tool)

HATS to HTC.
They reacted and took action !

That's all.
Next time I'll want to say/write anything, I'll check with you :rofl

that would be due to the fact that 99% of those that claim to be non-racist, in all actuality, are.

LOL.. They take joy in this gang reporting. Its easy squelch him. I bet noobie Phil doesn't realize that now that person cannot type and he may not relay pertinant information to his country via chat like and NOE ALERT BASE A17. Its kinda easy squelch. If the guy made a racist remark so be it. I am not saying the individual would give a typed alert but I bet you never thought of that. if he annoyed you report him. Don't instigate a mass report. He did not annoy the others(If it was private). Just get over it.

Hey guys ! I'm just saying the guys at HTC did a god job when A PLAYER CALLED THE OTHER PLAYER by the  "N" word !
He was reported using the REPORT CHAT.
I just wanted to say that when we use this tool, the guys upstairs do a good job ! Some players in this game don't believe that there's nothing done by HTC ! :(

noobie Phil

SALUTE noobie DrDeathx ! :P
