would this be an appropriate time to hijack this thread, and inform you guys that there's a pretty dam cool BoB set up running in the AvA?

last night a certain "v" was spewing many offhanded insults around on 200 to include ALL of the examples I've stated above. I replied in an offhanded fashion and was immediately muted for 10 minutes, this particular"v" continued spewing on 200 for easily another 1/2 hour don't know if he logged or was finally muted. My reply contained NO vulgar words but was insulting in the same way as said "v" was texting.

Depends on what V chose to harass you? My self if it was this one I would not complain.

FLS, I would initially agree with your statement

but it seems it has gotten to the point that some don't care that they get muted or whatever..... they repeat the offense over and over..... least that is how it is looking by all these different mods  threads popping up on these boards more and more frequently these days...

so I figured it should be just like your local nwspaper..... the local paper here reports every small infraction regardless if it is a simple speeding ticket to writing a check that bounces it seems..... ( yes I am exaggerating a wee bit there .... but it is more truth  than not )

I maybe a little over the limit with that extra stuff I typed about the "triggering switch" and 3rd part vox software.... but it only take 1 to 2 people minimal to disrupt the entertainment for the many ( many being 10 to 850 )......

and this group will never realize or might be just to lazy to .squelch gameid  anyone disrupting their fun........ not gonna happen, except for only a few who are willing to use the feature.....

anyhows.. we all have our views and suggestions for a fix.... I am sure HTC will do it how they see fit to the betterment for HTC and all community members

I know that we have a community here and what you suggest is normal community behavior but this is also a business. Embarrassing your customers is bad practice.  If it seems like the system should be stricter consider that it's not failing, it's just deliberately erring on the side of leniency.

The problem with the .report thing is I'm sure Skuzzy has a lot more important things to do than to scan through a bunch of logs to figure out who if anyone was stepping over the line.

With extra Mods, and the server message showing a mute on "so and so" I think would go along way on slowing down the the issues. These days there is very little in the way of "policing" or so it seems and the inmates are running a bit rampant. Erring on the side of leniency is how it's gotten this bad.

As it is now an offender gets muted and is "assumed" they logged or are afk and so the offending person doesn't feel the punishment. With adding their name to the server message it brings that bit of shame and added punishment. I'ts now out there for the world to see, "so and so was an Ahole and got muted for it!"

This reminds me of the people who get pulled over for speeding and want to know why the cop didn't pull over everybody else that was also speeding.

Cop told me "can't catch all the fish in the pond"

Call me crazy, but I would be almost willing to eat my hat if HTC doesn't log the public channels already.  They'd only need to look at them if there's a complaint, but I'd be very surprised if that's not the case.

No need to eat your hat.  There was a thread about 2 years ago where a player claimed he was modded unfairly, and HiTech replied with (Paul Harvey voice) "the rest of the story" from his review of the relevant chat logs including the players squad channel.

What did you say?

[Babalonian]

I don't agree with the OP, keep the mods identities private.  If we can email and get an explination or mroe info, that should be good enough. 

At most, an automatic email or in-game message could be sent when a mod bans someone, citing a reson or a moderator ID #.  Moderator ID #s I think might help relieve some people's distrust of the confdentiality of the mods,  or some form of ID that can be attached to each mod without revealing their in-game or forum ID.  This could also be beneficial because a mod could then elect to broadcast an arena-wide message, ie: "HTCMod#5: 200:  Last warning guys, next politicaly related remarks get AT LEAST a 3-day mute".  Don't have these mods not show up on any list or roster though, that way people can't tell if they're on or not (or AFK).
