how long till someone is chat banned?
« on: November 25, 2009, 10:52:02 PM »
I keep reporting (with the report feature) guys using 4 letter words in chat and voice. And I mean they are really going at it.  For some reason they are still chatting away the next day, and the day after that.. still cussing up a storm.

What so you keep reporting these guys without warning them? and unless its directed at you i cant see it being offensive so why would you report them?

Ill admit i sometimes use shorter versions of swear words but its not usually directed at anyone so whats your problem? its a online game and cutting swearing out all together is damn dear impossible mate.

Fury I dont think you read the buffer or you dont have young kids around at all. My nephew loves to drive the tanks but no way am I letting him anywhere near AH online. I myself have been cussed up oneside and down the other for making an excellent kill on certain guys that cant handle being handed their posterior. Most of the offenders will say the people that dont like it need to grow up but in fact its them that need to grow up and man up and start using their brains for more than filling out their skulls. Cussing demonstrates poor ability to think and very poor judgment and extremely poor communication skills.

All I want to hear from anyone is 'Nice shot' 'Check six' (which I find I most often do not need) and 'save the fat chick for me.' Occasionally its nice for someone to ask 'mind if I kill this guy?' or 'can you give me a hand here?' but otherwise chatty kathies need to cut the chatter.  :aok

I don't condone profanity on the country channel.  You don't know who's on the end of all those screens and you don't know if their using speakers or head phone.

A simple messure of respect for those around you isn't asking the earth.  

Like my dear ol Grandad used to say "Don't swear in polite company".  It's an easy doctrine to adhere to chaps.

and yes... dot squelch knobhead  :D  works until the powers that be cure the repeat offenders.

A The Report function is designed to be used as a community. One person hitting someone with a report will have no immediate effect, it is a cumulative effect. Several people using report on a person over time will eventually trigger a LONG mute. 

B abusing the report function can boomerang back onto you if it was not justified, or if your squad or group used it unjustly. Then all those who abused it will suffer the fate of those they attempted to pin it on unfairly. Don't use it in anger, or to get even.

C Film, screenshots sent to support@hitechcreations.com does get looked at and dealt with. You may not get a response, but it is not buried, ignored, or forgotten. 


To Mr Bipolar, with all due respect sir, no squelch does not work as well.
Granted it will remove the aggravation. But Squelch is sticking your head in the sand, not removing the problem.
However considering how often you've run afoul of such controls yourself it doesn't surprise me that you gave that answer.

It all comes down to respect and consideration for those sharing your airspace.

<S> Lynx, Challenge well said sirs.

TheFury, Changing a word to get around the text filters is the same as saying the word.
Your just smart enough to sneak it past the automated text filter. Shame on you sir!

I totaly agree with you chalenge, and my 10 year old son likes to watch sometimes which i dont mind until there is bad language chatter going on then i simply have to ask him to stop watching, my point was online games have a lot of foolish idiots on them and it is no place for a young kiddie to be hanging out, i understand the OP`s problem and i admit it is a problem but i find some of these people myself (very rarely do i swear) included will stop the swearing if you ask politely for them to cut it out. Also you have to bear in mind there is a lot of young people under the age of 15 that play it and they dont care about whos on the other end.

Just reporting them will not stop it as someone has already said. Maybe we need a perma squelch i dont know the solution. If someone is swearing ask them to stop or tell them you have reported them for it because until HTC gets in touch with the reported person they have no clue they have been reported or anyone is even upset about it.

I too have been cussed while my 10 year old was watching me play i told the person they were out of order and if they carry on i will report them because my son was watching i got a apology and the swearing from that said person stopped.
