PermaSquelch
« on: November 09, 2013, 01:48:48 AM »
So I know some people out there automatically squelch like 3-4 people as soon as they log in or see a certain player(I'm probably one for some people).....and I also know that this has been requested before....

but this is a must have HTC!!! Really getting tired of squelching characters such as Jayro, Midway, and surfinn.

Im pretty sure Midway changed his name to Enforcer so I'd like a permasquelch option for all their shades too(connect it to log in account username not in game ID)

Thank You

It's never going to happen. As names are reusable once dropped by said d!kheads. A new player may come in a pick one of those names and not be able to talk to anyone because they are still on the squelch list. That new player wouldn't stay long.

Now, clearing a squelch list once a month would cut back on all that typing, but it may be more trouble than it's worth to HTC.

Hopefully this wish WILL be like the B29 wish and eventually HTC will relent in some form or fashion.

I saw someone suggested that it could work by account number instead of handle name.

I pointed that out a few times, but I know I'm not the original on that.  If it's tied to the account instead of the name, then it won't matter if they change their handle a million times, they would still be squelched.  And since it's tied to the account, if the account is deleted, the squelch will be auto removed as well.  So if newbie uses the same account name as arsewipe1 was using, he wouldn't be left hanging.

If a system like that was in operation, then I don't see an issue.  The problem is that it will draw HTC away from other things, and I honestly wouldn't know how much coding would be needed for it to work properly.

I believe the game uses unique IDs for players and those unique IDs are reset after each sortie and a player gets a new one after taking off again.  That's why you see the old bug where you've landed and took off again and got credit for a kill or an assist from the previous flight because the unique IDs didn't reset.

Surfinn isn't so bad. The only time I want to squelch him is when he's talking.  :cheers:
