Toxicity of players online

[1stpar3]

I'm pretty sure exactly two right clicks will fix that

True,Scott...problem was...I didnt a chance to UN DO the damage that was done. It was too a new player..who,after this experience(2 separate times by different players) that he decided that Putting up with this stuff...in FIRST 4 days online..wasnt worth his time,or my money. He could get that for free at his home... Wasnt a SNOWFLAKE he put up with a LOT worse on a day to day basis. THIS WAS MY ATTEMPT to spend more time mentoring him through the BS he was living through. It upset ME, WAY MORE than it did him    You know my situation...I couldnt just take him fishing or hunting like I use too. Wasnt done trying to make a difference..it just sucked that my Big Idea blew up in my face

To move on we need to admit our toxicity and come to terms with it. Even by responsing to this thread I am a bit toxic.

What happened to the raw enthusiasm that we players used to have? Why was it replaced by cynisicm?

In my opinion, because of the anonymity of the net... for some reason, no one knowing ur true
identity or whereabouts unleashes the worst in some people

I hope you send them my apologies on behalf of the Brewster drivers union and explain to them that they're a few bad apples in every bunch who are miserable and their sole purpose is to make others feel the same

  It has a HAPPY ENDING....Not like THAT Scott...come on MAN    He finished school, works for a Landscaping company(AWAY from home++) and is doing better than I could imagine. Only REAL ISSUE...he still answers his phone, when I call.."HE,HE,HE I killed your.. BI-IGG BU-UCK "  Some people's kids    WAS 8 years AGO

Ch 200 isnt the MOST troubling as TOXICITY goes. The issue WITH DE-TUNING 200 is the PM's. 200 is rare,that you will get the outright HATRED SPEWED. I like the back and forth on 200 just as much as the next guy. The issues that I have brought up about TOXICITY wasnt on NORMAL channels. How many times do you see on CH200..."put it on 200...QUIT PMing ME....". THAT DONT HELP EITHER    If typing in all CAPS gets under your skin..can you not see how toxic actually SPELLING OUT attacks will hurt?

i type in all small case to offset those evil caps folks

Funny thing is I've seen way more arguing on country channel than over 200...I think most bish will know to whom I'm referring to

I do.   

He always squelches me.

 

well........on 200 if I kid him too much......not on country channel.

On nits I don't see much arguing on country.  On 200 it feels like 90% of what I see is some variant of "Nice HO" or "I died outnumbered.  You should feel bad."  Occasionally they combine it into "I was outnumbered and you HOed.  You should feel bad."

I find generally if you're getting hit with rage PMs from one of the usual suspects, you did something good.

I have not received any rage pm's in a long time. I must be doing something wrong.

I must admit I might have typed that myself once or twice on 200 over the years

A number of versions back I implemented the ability to disable cross country chat. I have not yet tested it in the melee arena.

I really hope this does not affect 200 level vox channels. My squad uses a vox in the 200's because many of us switch sides to find fights and are often on opposing sides because of the huge side switch penalty.

We are sometimes fighting squaddies too......

What happen to the MOD's.....did they leave too...... a few years ago they would mute people at the drop of a hat....

That CRAP gets old! FIGHT THE REDS, If you arent there..dont expect folk to DROP EVERYTHING to do what you ask. SAME TEAM!!!! Oh, and yes...I know who you are referring too, Scott. We as a community should all ways call BS on this sort of stuff(arguing). Otherwise...quit griping about Player Numbers. We should be better than this!

What your doing is I think, is commonly referred to as spying.
