Idea brought up by Zoney, although he said 30 minutes.

I think one minute makes sense.  Consider that when you're shot down, you're either dead or in a parachute.  No way to be on the radio or text buffer at that point.

 :old: Would add realism and reduce whining. :cry

It would also negatively impact those players that want to send a <S> after the fight or talk about the how, what, and why's of how they lost.  I've had many a fun conversation immediately after a fight win or lose would hate to have to wait a minute do to that, considering the rate I go through planes some nights I wouldn't have much to say at all.  :)

Listen, no offense, I personelly have never seen you in game but...

Poeple just don't like you... That's why they PM you.

Be nicer.

I'm a deek too, but I'm ok with it. I like angry PM's.

Ok, 30 seconds, or just radio silence on 200.

Yes - when you kill someone they should be silenced, that way you can talk all the smack you
can and squelch them before they get a chance to respond.

Not happening.

from a tactical point of view -1...

how many times have we bailed over enemy territory and still giving out information on enemy strategy, enemy strength... it is crucial since we dun have an intelligence dept to sort that out for us..

That does not add any realism at all.  I do not see how that would reduce whining in anyway.  This would negatively effect gameplay for everyone.  Finally the reason YOU posted this is because someone brought up the idea on 200.  That person brought up that idea up because you were annoying him.
That I agree with.

-1 to the idea.

p.s.  I shouldn't have to squelch you every time I log in.

if you would stop craving so much attention, nobody would mess with you on 200.  stop hoing and whining will go down even further.

A big no thanks on that, I do not want to have to wait any amount of time when i get shot down.  Thats basically a punishment for losing.  I do not see how this would be a benefit for anyone anyways?  Do you?

Could modify the idea, make it so the 30sec delay only takes effect after you've been in the air for atleast 5 minutes, and only effects people who have been killed.
Idk, just a thought.

Could help in controlling an attempted Horde of a base. the 30sec delay could give the horded base much-needed breathing room to mount a decent defence.

This, some of the best ppl ive met in the game were red gents that I shot down, or vice versa. Ill PM ppl, but its to say, great shot, or nice shootin or to let them know what a blast i just had fighting them. If i get "ho'd" or rammed or bombed, its all just part of the game, and I know that every time I play. No need to mute someone for any length of time just because they like to send ignorant PMs.

Take the high road,Ignore them, squelch them, or just laugh at the fact that some idiot is sitting at his desk getting upset at something as trivial as a game.

There's these things they invented a little bit ago, they call them telephones....

There are also things like Ventrilo and TeamSpeak.

That would not help from controlling a "horde" at all.  It would do just the opposite by making it harder for the defenders to up
