Bashing squeakers

[Yossarian]

If you see a little kid out on the street talking in a high voice (your own son, perhaps?), would you go over to him and begin teasing him about his high voice, and how his balls haven't dropped?  I sincerely hope not.  Just because this is a game does not make such behaviour acceptable over vox.


EDIT: Removed names to comply with rule #8.  I'll just say that the worst player I saw today is ranked among the 'top' five in the game.

SQUEAK!






sorry... couldn't resist

Meaning you think squeaker-bashing is just fine?



And yeah, this was a rant.  But an exceptionally well-deserved one.  Also, yes I have sent the film in.

Agreed making fun of kids as an adult is low.

No.

Squeaker bashing is not ok, but muting them has health benefits

Yep.   When the Helium contents exceed proper levels, squelch is the only remedy.

No I wouldn't. That being said...  if my son was being a pain in the arse to every adult within earshot he'd get a talking to. That is just me though, some people don't mind there kid's throwing a tantrum in the middle of a mall.

I don't think squeekers get as much grief over their voices as they do transmitting non-stop and N00bishness.  Last night a knight let his kid play on his account--much to the dismay of knights who had to put up with it.  He transmitted (squeek--squeek---squeek) nonstop, shot at friendlies, and seem to have no concept of the game.  It would be far better if AH parent players monitored the gameplay of their kids.

Get ready---the Holiday Squeeker Season in underway until the week after new years.

I actually agree with ROX.

Today's squeakers can be next year's players.(read as paying customer too)
With the natural attrition of the player base, it's a good thing to get new players.
Tonyjoey would own anyone in this thread and he was a squeaker.

Exeption:  The Generals. Since friendly conversation with them usually just leads to the General calling you a moron, bash them mercilessly. They move on eventually anyway, for the most part.
