question to the AVA players

[Molsman]

lol please stop I am having flashbacks from the Air Warrior Days of when I had to baby sit all the arenas and play Chat Police. Granted they usually got the hint after a 48 hr ban they were usually pretty good after that but then again ya never know.

AWARMols at your service lol

lol nawww just turn off rank and score, problem solved

[TheBug]

They are not doing it for score, they are doing just to be richards.  Score is just one path they use to get to people.  Removing it will not get rid of them or alter how they fly/fight.

Lessee if I can get this all straight.

There's been a lot of trash talk on Channel 1 (All Channel)  It gets rather ugly and hostile and is a turnoff to many but they can't detune it.

Policing it is full of pitfalls, What should be allowed or not is subjective. If you ping one guy "He can say why me? so and so started it." etc

It's difficult to always tell who is the instigator and since a mute goes across the board rather than just the channel in question, an admin is using a broadsword rather than a scalpel.

Some players do enjoy the friendly interaction and then there are others that enjoy the trash-talk as well and consider it part of the game.

If channel 1 is disabled, it will all move to channel 200. Anyone who wishes to be free of the trash talk or those that want maximum immersion can detune it, but then others who want friendly cross country comms W/O reading a bunch of trash talk will still want some moderation of 200 and we are right back to the difficulty of policing the channel.

Jeez, my friggin head is about to explode!

Ok, lets disable channel 1, moderate channel 200 and try to keep it a safe friendly place and then designate channel 205 as an unmoderated "wild west channel."

Now there's a place for friendly communicators and one for smack talkers and whoever wants to can detune one or the other or both.

I's the perfect solution! at least until I read the next post in this thread.


Maybe I should just go have a drink.

Jimson  the( All ) Channel can be detuned in the radio channel select drop down, for those who wish not to see it just change it to country

No it can't.  If you "de-tune it" you can't transmit on it, but you will see all that is transmitted on it by others.

If I wasn't busy in the TA most of the time I wouldn't mind monitoring channel 1.  Same rules for TA chat can be transferred to the AvA, you just have to draw a line and stick to your guns.  A warning is good for almost all I have to deal with in there, they don't get a second one normally.  We shouldn't have to adjust to those that are the causing the problem.  Those causing the problems should be doing the adjusting.  On the same note reacting in the same manner to such bad behavior should get the same punishment.  Equal action recieves equal reaction. In my oppinion a couple of weeks of text banning and or ejecting, for bad behavior will do wonders.  Everyone will either have to behave and act like adults or possibly watch TV for a while

Just one thought:  it's kinda like work...you send an e-mail to two people. One thinks it is funny and the other takes it as sexual harassment!  I think if the arena is montiored you need to look at the whole thread and make a deternination if it is getting out of hand.  I may be late on saying this, but I was busy beating my wife.



.....at cards!   

[captain1ma]

seems to me, they(the triplets) haven't said too much in 3 days. do we really need to work ourselves into a lather? i think there's more banter and probable bad press continuing this thread then if we just let this go.

the answer is pretty much keep channel 1. ok done, lets just keep an eye on it, keep players informed of negative banter, and continue with our cartoon pilot lives.

id like to thank everyone for your opinions. all are duly noted and now lets move on and play the game. 4 sheep bounty on any triplet you shoot down! just film it for proof! all sheep will be delivered within 3 weeks of confirmation from the confirmation committee. sheep winner also responsible for buying everyone a beer, or if they dont drink, a lime rickey!

that is all, carry on!
