First report, then squelch.
Anytime you have a community of 500 to 1000 people online your going to have a few bad eggs that think the rules shouldn't apply to them.
That is the sole reason the report function is there, so the community can police itself.
And it works!
as Ghosth has posted, most definitely report them, but to be more precise, make sure you use the .report voice feature to make sure it gets flagged since 99.9% of the time the cussing comes over the Local Range Channel / Room Channel ( F12 ).......
I myself normally record every single sortie or the whole time I am logged into an arena, my film is rolling, even if I am just sitting in the tower or O'club etc....
I use all of the following:- Alt S for Screenshots of the text buffer ( this screenshots will be located in the main directory of Aces High, normally it is C:\hitech creations\Aces High\ )
- Alt R for turning on the Film Recorder ( save film by hitting Alt R again to turn it off, name film for example: gameid_abusive Vox Use
- email the "gameid_abusive Vox Use.ahf" film to HTC using the Support(at)hitechcreations(dot)com email address
- .report Voice ( right click on person's name in the roster then select the appropriate .report function )
- .report text Chat ( right click on person's name in the roster then select the appropriate .report function )
As Ghosth posted the community has the ability to police themselves, what helps the community do this is, when a Player calls someone out to ask them to stop that particular player's abusiveness, is for others in the vicinity to back the Player up who is calling out the abusive one....... it works the same here as it did in High School, Boot Camp, Active Duty Military, everyday life...... Peer Pressure.....
a player in this game can either be known to be of "Good Sportsmanship" or can be known as "A Rotten Apple".......
for the ones who insist on keeping up the "rotten apple" attitude, they don't seem to last very long...... or either come back again as another gameid, trying to change their ways, unless they can not put down their awful ways........ and insist on keeping that Rotten Apple medal pinned to their online prsona........ and most everyone in the game will eventually understand what that person is completely about.......
my thinking anyhows.....
