A rant

[captain1ma]

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.

im pretty sure you can see .salute without being on 200

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

I agree 110%. Mods should have the ability (if they don't already) to revoke radio priviledges for a min of 30 min per offense for either country channel or 200 channel crap concerning politics or religion. This BBS is not the proper forum, neither is the ingame radio.

Take it somewhere else.

I agree Lusche. If folks don't like the shape of things, they should discuss it within their communitys and town meetings. Not a intardnet game.

[RELIC]

I couldn't agree more Lusche.  I log on to have fun - not to listen to a bunch of tards argue politics.  My squad has a long standing rule that there is to be NO political talk - period.

[Anaxogoras]

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.

200 isn't so bad because you can always detune it.  It's country channel political crap that we're complaining about.

I agree no politics and no religion please.
The true fact with this game is that I am the best looking pilot in the  game.

[Captain Virgil Hilts]

See Rule #4

[usvi]

A rule of thumb in any  bar(a place where people go to enjoy themselves) should also apply here.
Talk of politics or religion is not considered acceptable banter.
Everyone has their own strong beliefs in these matters and arguments about them never end well.

[APDrone]

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...

+1   

[Lusche]

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

The only difference is: They don't play this game.

[Wreked]

Religion/politics etc etc SHOULD be banned in all the text buffers - at ALL times - an automatic 2? week comm ban on the guilty party.

***note : "erotic sheep talk" of course would be exempt!!

.....send me those nudie sheep pics eh!

[DREDger]

I seem to recall a few years ago this issue came up.  My recollection is hazy, but I thought they turned off 200 for everyone for a week or two, then phased it back in.  Seemed to work for a good while.  Anyone recall that, think it was 04 or 05.

Anyway, +1 on this.  I am totally against discussion on 200 involving politics or religion unless I agree with the commentary.

[AKP]

This must be a LW thing... fortunately MW seems to be devoid of such chatter.  But yea, I agree... this isnt the place for it.

[BigR]

I just find it funny that these people talking about all this crap on 200 think that their opinion actually matters, and that we actually care to hear it. I had 200 de-tuned for a while, but it sucks not being able to talk to people I actually WANT to talk to. Some of the talk is disgusting, especially the open racism that I see on a near daily basis. In America, we have free speech, but Aces High is not the forum for every idiot to spout their ideologies. Your $15/month doesn't buy you a soapbox to stand on. There are rules to being in the "club". Shut up and play. If you want to act like a moron, please do so within the context of the game.

[Lusche]

Just to make it clear again. I wasn't talking about 200

But about the non-detunable country channel
