Dred so you are dissing HT? He made the rule that no political discussion is allowed on the 200 channel.

Now your just being plain silly. I at no point here dissed HT.

Sheesh. The way words are being misinterpreted and twisted around here its like dealing with a room full of women.

Him - "The sky is blue"
Her -"So I guess that means the lawns not getting mowed today And you think my mother has a big butt."
Him -" I didnt say that. All I said was the sky is blue"
Her- "Well thats not the way you said it!!"

[CAP1]

There is another thing women are notorious for.


her: I'm done with this argument.
him: (thinks to himself) Thank God.
her: One more thing. insert new reason why she is ticked off
him: (thinks to himself again because he knows better) now maybe she is done.
her: Oh and I forgot about something else I wanted to say that means exactly what I said the first 5 times only with a few words changed.

How many times have you said you were done with this thread now? 

Sorry Dred couldn't resist.

Its true... chan 200 at night sometimes is a Bill O'Riley special... with extra drunk guests... and it never ends... almost every night.

its beyond lame... at least the trash talking is funny in rare occasion.

Exactly,

It has been this way for a long time. There have been peaks in the level of banter, but none the less, you know what exactly you are going to hear when you tune to 200.
To assume that comming home from a hard days work and launching AH with channel 200 tuned in is going to sweep all your troubles away like a Calgon bath is an unrealistic assumption. Sure the poli-sci talk gets old, but so does a lot of the other topics of the night. My advice, keep complaining. Find out the hard way. Today its politics, tomorrow it will be something else. Put a free for all channel out there where no topic is out of line, it wouldn't be long before someone doesnt like the content and complains to the management instead of just shutting it off. I know I'm going to hear mother goose complain about this post but I don't give a crap....

( I am using your quote jamdive, but I am not directing this toward you, my post is directed to all in this thread )

did you ever stop to think, "Hey, the way I banter and they way I type my posts looks as if I am part of the problem and not helping any"

it is always going to be HTC's sandbox / HTC's rules ( the online arenas, this private messageboard )....... we all can sit and continue to talk or text about things that HTC has specifically said are not allowed in thier "sandbox"........ and when we do these things, we can gaurantee ourselves that we will get the swift kick of the boot of HTC.....

what is so hard about following the request of the game owners and not talk about certian things and stop bringing up certian subjects to discuss , when HTC keeps repeatedly saying "It Is Not Allowed, Period!"

unless, one simply does not have any care nor any respect for what HTC ask for not to be done, and does not care that they continue to keep stepping across the line, because they know that they will just get muted for a length of time.... but eventually will get to come back and do it all over again......

unless they get perma banned from the Arenas and the game......

My one and only reply to this thread.

I have been watching this thread with more and more disgust. On the one side we have the people trying to do the right thing and play by the rules set down by the HT God. On the other we have the rule breakers calling them snitches and spoilsports, trying to defend what they did.
The main argument I am seeing for this defense is '200 is for everything, its a free channel'

WRONG

It is not a free channel. It is HT's channel, same as country, Squad, channel 1 and vox. He's just a bit more lax on 200. However this thread has got me questioning what I know about the rules.

So this 'Snitch' went and asked the only people who could give me a proper answer. Emailing HTC direct, I asked them what their policy was on channel 200. This was their answer

When you get right down to it, anything not about the game is disallowed.
The discussion of politics and/or religion are specifically not allowed and
can be cause to lose ones voice/text privileges for 8 days.'

Answers the question. Talking about poltics on channel 200 is not allowed. Its is not a free channel, and these people have done right by .reporting the people responsible. They are not snitches, just people who came here to fly for fun, why should they have to change channels to avoid people breaking the rules?

That's me done here, as I said at the beginning, this is my one and only reply. Playing by the rules makes everyones lives happier.

macleod,

First it is consider unexceptionable to post emails you received from some one ,with out their permission. And even worse if you do not post all the complete email.

One of the reasons is email format and public posting are completely styles. Public posting by us is generally much more precise.

Skuzzy has stated before about Anything not about the game, on the last occurrence it was if you don't speak about other stuff you will not get yourself muted.

It is not a rule to only speak about the game.

The only reason politics and religion are off topic is because they will almost always lead to taking over the channel with degrading arguments.

We do not have a precise set of rules , simply because that leads to people always trying to say they did not break a precise rule when they .

The simple fact is, if someone continues to act like a jerk/a***ole they stand a good chance of being moderated.

This can be something like calling for a mission once every 3 secs for 10 mins.
To constant insults of someone.

This is why we have moderators, to make those choices that are obviously over the line, but do not specifically fit into any written rule.

There is a huge difference from saying f*** that last mission sucked one time and then be finished. Verses sayy F*** you HiTech your a mother **** A**** and can take your *** where the sun ....
And then continue on with another 3 lines.

AH is a very competitive game and I understand emotions can run high and spill over. But trying to write rules where to draw the line is impossible.

The real rule is simply try to respect others when using public channels. It really is no more complex then that. Most people learn this in kindergarten. The people who didn't are the ones who get muted often.


________________

2nd on the snitching thing, this was in no way shape or form what would be considered snitching. No names were mentioned.  It was a simple request to stop the political discussion that was currently happening in the arena. I came in and put a stop to it with no mutes.

Kind of like the old Cheech and Chong dialog:

"One time I played In a Gadda de Vida backwards at 78."

"Cool, man, what happened?"

"I saw God, man."
