Mute By Account# Wish
« on: July 09, 2013, 10:21:36 AM »
For those that change their name often, if we could please mute a player by their account number (or equivalent) that would be nice.  This way we don't have to try to keep up with their name of the week.

Thanks.

You can't change you name that often.

I think this is more a thinly veiled attempt at witch hunting, and not to actually mute someone.

I don't think so. I have 2 players I mute the second I see their names pop up. One of them seems to enjoy changing names. Reading even a minute or two of their crap sets me off and kills any enjoyment I get from this game.  I would love a perma-squelch. If HTC could give us a perma-squelch for an account number seeing as they don't want to kill a name off I could be very happy settling for that.

+1 for perma-squelch based on account number.

I want the opposite of mute, I wish that instead of muting a player the host puts them on everyone's ignore list for the duration of the offense.  They can talk all the want but they suddenly have no audience. :)

Even if the wish is not for what I suspect it it (which I doubt) Allowing a permanent squelch for an account also would likely add a permanent squelch for a specific player.  Doing that would ostracize any player from the community by popular vote.  Even if the reason for muting was minor.  Do some players deserve this? Perhaps, but giving that control to a group of players is not a good idea and leads further to my witch hunt comment.

doubtful htc would allow us to see peoples account numbers in order to do what is being wished for, which is a permanent squelch. people have been wishing for a permanent squelch option for years and it hasn't happened yet.

I'm good with that.....if you've made SUCH an arse of yourself that dozens of people have voted to throw you off the island, you need some time out to reconsider your way

Careful what you wish for!

Think of it as our little boat in the sea. We need every one to help keep it afloat.

If we get too carried away with voting people off the boat it might sink.

Is that what we really want?

We already have adequate tools to deal with annoying players.

Leave that thing alone!

Not exactly. See, boats are big and heavy, regardless of whether they are made of steel or wood.
What makes them float?
All of the air (buoyancy) within that boat!

Now, with so many people with so much air in their heads on a wooden plank (our boat) in this pond (the sea), it all balances out.

Physics!
