mute time remaining when check 6 call
« on: January 23, 2018, 12:11:14 PM »
not sure if this is a bug but its irritating.  when ever muted and you get a check 6 the time remaining muted pops up on your screen and blocks a lot of your view.

Determine what is causing the mutes' to occur and correct the problem.

Don't get muted.  Problem solved.

really guys? Its pretty easy to get accidentally muted by just trying to type candidly in VOX chat to squad mates (especially after a few drinks). I think we've all been there once or twice. No one is trying to get muted. So these responses are just unnecessary and not helpful. :old:
Although i do confess flippz, i don't have a good response either as I have never experience your problem.

It's been many years ago since I used it or even told others how to use it, but the dot command of .show 0 (typed .show(space)0<enter> ) should move all of the pop-up windows to the text buffer

0 = zero , not the letter

I'm not sure though if it also works for mute pop-up window, HTC can verify

Hope this helps

The way the OP phrased his question, this is a rather frequent occurrence.  The advice he's been offered is quite sound.

AFAIK it works only on the .join command popup (hence the name), for example it definitely doesn't work on the squadron invite popup (one of the reason some of us create fake single pilot squads)

I have been flying here 12 years and have NEVER been muted. Doesn't seem so hard to me.

Regardless, we arent all angels. You just have to type a four letter word twice in a rather long period of time. Its pretty easy for some people to forget about that when emotions fly. Not saying it happens to me all the time, it was only once. But still, I was just peeved at the obnoxious responses. I wont comment again on this as I am also not helping the original question asked, which was the point of this thread.

Ten years ago I got a warning for typing wasabi "wassabi", haven't had one since. I've played this game now for 15 years. It must be really hard for you guys at work when you know what the real consequences will be for using unacceptable language. So the ability to control what you type or say is not the heat of emotions, it's trying to take advantage of the system since you won't get fired.

Ten plus some years ago I got muted for typing "megapussi" (megabag) and "pussata" (kiss) on our Finnish squad channel. Apparently potato chips were considered too bad for health to be advertised! Not to mention endearment between men... If I'm right tuned channels aren't watched any more.

I was once muted for 6 hours for saying Jimmy Carter.  I still see people rant for hours about politics, I'm guessing the CM just didn't appreciate an old peanut farmer with a soft sport for solar panels.   :x  :bolt:

that was the first mute in a long time dutch, lol. and actually I got muted for talking to the mod and not what I said. 

but the other day another guy got muted who really shouldn't have (but that's his business) but he mentioned that was happening and then that night I got muted every one was giving me a check 6 call I guess cause I was not responding BECAUSE MY FREEDOM OF SPEECH WAS DENIED (jk) and it really is annoying.
also its when a friendly gives you a manual check 6 calls
as far as you other goody two shoes whos never been warned LIVE A LIL HAVE FUN SOMETIMES
