Swearing And Text Bans

[BulletVI]

         Now I'm mad at the Aces High II team. For some time now i have heard from fellow players and friends in Aces High II about them being text banned for excessive swearing and general stick's and stones chat between 2 players. May i suggest that the Aces High II team Implement A program that if you Type in A swear or Racist words that it is replaced By ****** as i have just typed stars. this shall prove more than effective than banning players from chat for a few days. Again i do realise that due to time zones differences that At 10pm UK time there may be young children on the game in the USA at 6pm USA time. but still if swear words or racial words show up as stars then they shan't have a clue as to what they mean. I believe that this is best for all players and the Ace's High II team as it will save them some time in filing through all the text reports they may receive. Text reports should only be used if a player is constantly abusing another player even with a ***** star cover setting then if a player wants him to stop then that player should be reported.

These are my thoughts on the situation of text banning if any other member has any thoughts on this matter feel free to discuss this.

Example ::::  You Mother ****** You shot me down

This Is an example of how the text in Aces High II should show show in the text bar for swearing or racial text :-)

Thanks for reading and commenting on this post.


at no time is this post meant to tell Aces High II how to run their game its a suggestion.

Thanks

Or...don't swear

Problem solved.

Try typing a swear word into the text buffer.  They already have a similar program at work.  However, people find ways to get their message across.  Symbols like @, $, and substitute letters like Zs allow people to "bypass" that filter.  People will always find a way to work around the system, not much you can do about it.  Report the bad ones, but there is only so much you can do.

I have never had a problem with the way it is now.  Learn how to talk without swearing it's good for ya.

Having ******* asterisks is classified as Masking which is a form of profanity in itself.  Personally I don't think you should get muted for automated system warnings, when it deletes your message before it is even sent out.  The number of times I have gotten warned for typing nosepit is just insane.  If the automated system captures your message, then no harm no foul.  If you choose to mask it to bypass the filter, then the mods should mute you.  I think the mods do a good job.

If you are so bent out of shape you need to take the time to type swear words, then you probably need to lay down and take your nap.  It's not HTC's job to babysit folks who can't handle themselves.

Umpteen years of playing AW and AH and I've yet to find the need to type profanity.

Could be your friends need to grow up a bit?

They have systems in place...If people feel they are unjustly banned then it can be taken up with HTC. Generally though if there is a ban in place it is due to a good reason...just because you replace a word for **** doesn't mean anything, the intent is there and it can be plainly seen and to think that the younger players couldn't work out what you have said in your (for this instance) example is just plain ignorant. As has been said above..just refrain from full blown cursing. There are plenty of other ways to get your point across that are 1) more comical and 2) more scathing..... From what I've noticed it is the people who continuously push the boundaries that find themselves in trouble and looking about for the closest person to blame.

The other thing you can do is keep this stuff to your squad channel or private...do it on open/range channel and expect to be silenced.

Then take it up directly with them. Like this publicity is going to lead to some ultimate solution?

[WMLute]

to add...

In order to swear in AcesHigh you have to mask the curse word.

That means not only do you have to type it, but you have to figure out a way to type it so it shows up.

The automated system is in place and I don't think HTC should have to try and figure out all the diff. variables you can use to mask a curse word.

Stupid idea.

A better idea would be to grow up and just not curse where children might be present.

Pretty simple really

[ImADot]

You *****. Don't *** think that **** stars can turn a ***** post into some ***** where **** people won't be able to ***** tell what the *** *** ********  ****** you're saying.

Not a bad word in this post, prove me wrong. 


Seriously though...in the heat of the moment, your mouth may beat your brain in the race to show how you feel.  But, your brain most certainly will win the race against your fingers.  Just take a breath and think for those couple of seconds what you really want to say, and how you really want to be perceived by the community.

Agree.

I so want to introduce my kids to AH. Yes, there is the offline (missions) mode, but that does not replace the human factor. I don't want my kids running into errant bad-mouth behavior. This is where the only viable option exsists that I can think of. Aces High 1 still has network play if I am not mistaken. I guess I will have to make do.

half the cursing in the DA is from children LOL, pop in sometime and listen to the squeakers holler cuss words at the top of their lungs

When do you plan on removing your kids from school?, or are they home schooled??? While I do not condone swearing I also do not condone using kids to make my point.  The facts are that kids will hear worse on the street and anyone who thinks they will not is just kidding themselves.

I applaud your efforts to raise your kids correctly but doubt that you can save them from hearing "blue" language.
