Another 3 Country Channel w/o Political Dicussion
« on: January 11, 2010, 10:44:03 AM »
Like the topic states -- just a channel 200 w/o politcal debate and discussion.

I like keeping 200 tuned to hear some of the funny comments and banter between people, so de-tuning it would take away some of my fun.  I don't care to log on for political discussion about gun rights, Obama's job performance, if Avatar is anti-military, etc.

Or better yet, add political topics and words to the bad word filter.   :lol

That's my wish for the game.  :)

I discovered last night if you squelch three or four people, the particular discussion you don't want to hear goes away.

Which goes back to the perma squelch thingy.
Unfortunately you have to waste *your* time squelching the same old people every
time you go online. Because with channel 200 you are held hostage to their blather
and have only a choice of manually turning their crap off by squelching them or
de-tuning 200.

 Again. YOU are forced to make efforts and take action in the online part of a game
to make your use of the service you pay to enjoy more tolerable. Which is strange
as those same type of discussions and social behavior is strictly prohibited in the
forums for the game.  Which btw has a nice, working perma squelch feature!

 I heard about it's potential effect on new users who get old handles that were
perma-squelched. I still feel that a solution to automatically clearing squelch lists
when a new subscriber gets an old handles couldn't have been found and created
during the last ten years.

Detuning 200 puts a damper in online comeraderie and is anti-community.

Just wish people would stop being sweetheartrs that way we don't have a problem. But then 95% off the talk on 200 would disappear.

If 200 is getting too much I just try to hijack and derail and it soon gets back to entertaining.

One night there was a bad political discussion going on and I could not help but hijack it with the 80th.

A good ole Pirates vs Ninjas discussion usually overpowers the political spectrum, had all kinds of people join in for it :aok

Otherwise, yeah, de-tuning would work.

Fly rook and you get to hear political opinions on country channel, which cannot be detuned.  It's so bad you fill up your squelch list and there's nothing more you can do.

Maybe political talk on range, country, or 200 should be a mute-able offence.   :pray
