i hate it when i'm in the arena, and see anything even remotely to do with politics. it's a thousand times worse when i hear it on vox.

 i honestly wish there was some way to ban it in there, like they did in here.

I absolutely agree.   I play games to get a break from reality and I wish people who see everything through ideological lenses could take a break from it and realize that not everything hinges on politics.

Unless there's a human mod on to give warnings, the best you'll be ablel to do is call out the offender, or do a .report on him.

i just don't like .reporting people....although i have. i think that doing that for this would just put more bs on skuzzys screen too.

Agreed.  But, to break it down a teeny bit further, we're playing a game where some people are fiercely loyal to their respective "countries".

Go figure....

Finally an admitted reporter.  What level of butt-hurt do you have to experience before pushing the button?

Just curious..

AH must have non human mods in game.

I told one individual that he's acting like he's just sitting at his computer in his mom's cellar.

I got a popup that said leave moms out of the discussion. lol stupid software.

Just curious..

multiple unwarranted attacks by ankle humpers. when it gets to the point of people for no good reason whatsoever putting crap up there. there's only been 2 or 3 so far, but they pushed it well beyond what would've landed em in the hospital, if they had said the same stuff in the same room.
 a lot of times, it's not even what's said, but when and how it's said.

 and ya...i do admit it. it's like i keep saying. the "me" you read in here, and the "me" you read in the arenas, or hear on vox, is the very same "me" that you would hear/see in real life. i don't put up a facade. i don't pretend to be an "intardnet toughguy" . i don't have time for that crap. i'm just me, and i come into the game to get away from the pressures and hassles of running my own shop, and to get away from the hassles of dealing with customers that think that they can name their own price(and then act all tough and indignant when i don't let them).

 this game for me is a FRAKKIN blast. i love learning to maneuver my aircraft for the kill. i love shooting the poop with my online friends. there's plenty to talk about without politics comin up.

 there's a LOT of great fun people in here, and i truly thing that THEY are the majority.

the bbs offers some good interesting conversations too.
