Moderators have nothing to do with this. Moderators are volunteers. They are online when they want to be online. They could not have done anything anyway.
I researched the reports and found they were all valid.

The above is also reportable.
The suspension stands
This is what i'm muted for??? Really?
I don't understand.
1. Is this an everyone does this so why was I picked out of the crowd for punishment?
OR
2. The Mods are caprecious and a better more fair system should be in place since I wasn't Moded for all infractions on that day while other players say much worse than I with no suspension?

Ch200 fits the description of a clever Darwinian Honey Pot. If you tune it, you probably would get into trouble on range anyway. So it makes it easier for the Mods to keep track of you.
Over the years I have listened to and read players say and write very nasty things and the next day still have communications privleges. My single warning for writing the word "w
assabie" some years ago was enough for me to see the process ain't perfict. At this late stage of my game career, getting mass reported would be like getting carded by a preaty young lady when I buy beer or being accused of cheating. I know I'm lame at the game and it's my own fault when I get shot down. So I would want to know how I P.O'd so many people as lame as I am.
But, I don't play the game so I have access to it's second most popular form of combat provided by Ch200. I'm not sure how much deterence there is over all to the few who are muted or ban punished. It does at first glance look to be a group of repeat offenders over the years. They are also a small vocal group of players prone to seeking verbal combat here in the forums with Skuzzy and Hitech becasue that's how they seem to be wired. While most other players simpely acccept their punishment and ride it out or approach Skuzzy politely to work out the issue.
Is the process perfict? Don't know because I don't pay Hitech and Skuzzy $14.95 to punish me so I can accuse them of being unfair to me. Do many of the same players rail against the moderation process each time it catches them. Yes.
So is it a totalitarian, caprecious, unfair, descriminitory process? -or- Is there a group of players prone to entangeling themselves in it regardless of it's imperfections and knowing it's triggers? Then challenging the premis and authority of the process regardless of their culpability?
Sat Dec 22 20:51:01 2012 | SQUAT :200 :<<<< suggests rhino gets off pands d!ck lolI'm glad I am not a Mod. And I'm gald Mods don't moderate squad alternate channels. At some point many of us have said much worse in jest to squadmates. Which may be the crux of this...................... rhino is not a member of POTW.
I hope that HTC is always looking to adjust their moderation process to eliminate as much capreciousness as possible so justice is swift and "equal" for all. I'm also sorry that my last statement won't make this any better for my squadmate during this episode of game moderation. I would get the Mod hammer myself if I wrote the same thing on Ch200 about another player.
