Foul language
« on: April 05, 2020, 02:24:31 PM »
I would really like to play this game as if my grandchildren we're setting here with me. I taught my grandson how to count to four by the cyclic rate of the T 34 tank 1, 2, 3, 4 fire. Today when I asked someone to please watch their language they told me they would say what the f*** they want. Other players chimed in and said they will say what the f*** they want. It was suggested I quit the game and go play church bingo.
I don't consider myself a prude I served 3 years in the army and lived in the barracks. I never had an office job I worked in construction. My last job was at a state prison. I try to conduct myself as if your wife , mother or children was hearing my conversation.
I can't tell you how disgusted I am with these people!

Good for you. I'd like to see adults exhibiting self-control in the game, as well. I work on it both in and out of game. I have been known to come up with somewhat inventive pseudo-cussing, however.

Yeah, those that wail on like a 12 year old on the playground are pretty much without self control, and lack a vocabulary of word with more than four letters.  Don’t quit because of their lack of emotional control.  :salute

A preferred way to deal with those who can’t resist the simpleton vocabulary is to mute them.  For those most part, they don’t have anything game essential to say anyway.

And how many fools will say "If I can't talk the way I want to I will quit! They're ruining the game!"  I have no patience for those who can't find alternate language for cuss words....

Need HTC to mute people without letting them know they are muted. That way they can cuss to their hearts content!

I understand an occasional outburst followed by a quick apology, however when my 6 year old is playing a game on the computer beside me and keeps saying "bad word" because of what she hears coming out of AH I think it's  a bit much.

I do squelch the worst offenders as well as the people who think they're at the bar and babble incessantly as it's very distracting. I just wish that I didn't have to re-squelch everyone every time I logged in.

There's a few characters I wish I could 'perma-squelch.'  :D

There were a few that I would log in and after a minute for the roster to load I would search the list to see if they were on and squelch them before I even looked for a fight. It is the way I learned to spell "squelch" btw :)

A sign of maturity is learning to watch your language, unfortunately some people never grow up. Calling them out on the radio, or even asking them to cool it is only going to fire up the other morons.

Squelch and .report is the best think to do.

Squelch them and move on. Coming here and voicing your opinion will not improve your MA experience. People are going to say what they want and there is nothing you can do to stop them. Squelch and fly.
