A rant

[Lusche]

I'm the Snailman and I play Aces High to have fun pretending being a 133t cartoon pilot.

I'm not interested in seeing the country text buffer filling up with topics like

obama is a communist
islam sucks
nuke iran
healthcare is evil


Right now my squelch buffer is full, but I'm still getting lectured by ignorant US squeakers (from 10yo-50yo) about communism, world politics, Obamas citizenship, Bush's presidential merits and evolution being a hoax.

I know you guys have the intellectual horizon of a mite, but it's not necessary to remind us about it all the time. Take it to private or CH200 if you want, but please leave your domestic politics out if the not detunable countrychannel. Most of us are trying to play a game

Or, please HTC, increase the squelch list size!

Now gimme my cheese...

[Yeager]

it "IS" just a game.  Grow a spine dude.

You have no "backbone" 

[TequilaChaser]

it "IS" just a game. 

you are 100% correct......and to that , there is no call for the stuff Lusche posted about, being brought into the "game"... am surprised people even get away with it...unless there just were no mods around to warn or remove their ability to make themselves look stupid 

Lusche, just report them.........

[Shuffler]

So everyone in the US is like this??

I think your still pissed about WWII.   

[Anaxogoras]

Country channel is full of crazy ideological bullpucky.  Expand the number you can squelch, please.

Then he's right...all the Oh-pinions from the supposedly educated peanut gallery about anything political, religious, economic, social injustice, etc... Should be kept to non-public comm channels.

Personally, all of the infantile crap on 200 from the supposed 1337 toon pile-its is tiresome...I only keep 200 open for acknowledgements to opposing sticks for doing something that deserves acknowlegement. Even the forums gets tiresome with the juvenile attitudes...it's as bad as a frat house full of pledge dweebs trying to fit in. And the loser 1337 wannabe's throwing the most horse manure are supposedly adults.

There is no reason to have such crap discussed in a game for everyone to have to see.

Make the squelch list number infinite.

I agree with Lusche.  I do not login every night to experience real-life.  I save that for my alter-ego.

[texastc316]

if there was a way for them to feel it when they are squelched.

As I recall, some months ago the HTC "almighty" put up an arena MOTD notifying the player base that political discussions were not appropriate conversation in the game. It is their ball park after all.

Anyone who talks politics beyond a quick passing comment should probably go to another venue where political views are being discussed at length. Just sayin'

[Qrsu]

Nevermind

[Rich46yo]

I get tired of it too. Its almost as bad as the International forums where a Yank can get piled on by all kinds of world citizens for politics. "As if any of us have a hot line to Obamas office on Policy".

Luckily I cant both play and keep up with a text buffer. 95% of the time I dont even know whats being said on 200.

That said I'd still love to see a permanent squelch feature.

but I'm still getting lectured by ignorant US squeakers

They aren't any sharper in Germany. They just think they are.
