Shane, do yourself a favor and stop posting threads like these. You're not getting much sympathy from the community and those that don't like you are getting their rocks off watching you flip your lid.

Save your screenshots and email them to HiTech. Let him decide if the .rpt is being abused.

This always a mod/rpt complaint on top weekly is not doing our numbers any good. This is an HTC convo.

He’s only doing it here because he can’t do it there and you’re all wiling participants.

When he posts the next thread just ignore it!
Back in 2022 after a loooooong break from 2010. Old name Ratpack, same for the BBS.

Squad I did the most tours with were the Excaliburs then The 172nd Rabid Dogs. Still trying to talk Illigaf, Coola, Oldman22, and Joecrow into coming back instead of being boring old farts!

Well I’ve been out of the game over five years and will never be back so I’m gonna let a cat out of the bag. The way I used to handle Shane was a warning, a 10 and then a mute for the rest of the night, seemed to work quite well. I feel for any current mods in the low number environment as they can’t really operate effectively.

BS.  I've rarely encountered getting muted in the past or much interaction with mods.  Stop lying.  Recognize .rpt is being abused.

Potential new players deserve a heads up what it's like aside from all the whines about poor gameplay.  They need to be aware of the mob mentality and constant accusations of cheating, often accompanied with base vulgarity and immature sexual commentary.

 .rpt does nothing, mods don't either, but "gunbunny" gets a coordinated .rpt?

Not looking for sympathy at this point - more about pointing out the hypocrisy of the community's attempt at enabling mob rule.

I get your point. I think the main point the masses making is these post deter future players, or exhaust current players out. Point being, it might get exposure, but more so in a negative way, mainly because its one side of the story and the reasoning has no voice.

But my 1st question would be, have you had a convo with HT about it?

I will add, if you’re harping on new or return players you could be the next one accused of chasing players/numbers away, like YKW did.

The way some rant about how others play, from the outside looking in, it looks like a form of elitism. With the difference between a new/return player and high skilled vets can be intimidating, feeling of unwelcome. To all whiners, Don’t want and welcome new/return players in one hand and snivel them out of the game with the other hand.

We think if players leaving as numbers, HTC sees it as loss of numbers equals loss of money. If someone it taking money/food out of my mouth you can trust I’ll do something about it. HT lost a lot of money on YKW, rough lesson learned.

Question you should ponder. Not only do we need mire numbers for more fun,….do you want HT to be able to afford an update? These things you ask for cost money,..time=money, its called buisness.

If you’re sniveling but not offering to teach then you’re part of the problem, no matter who you are.

In life, there’s one judge, “you’re” not it, stay out of it.
In game, when someone pays my sub they can tell me how to play. I have fun flying into field guns after someone because surviving extreme gun fire and getting that kill is fun to me.

Just have fun, ya get a new plane after every death. The female ya got the hots for isn’t watching you lose. Its like friends sitting at a bar playing a game. Sometimes ya gotta take them keys away from them.

Your last line answers your first question. The time it would take to go thru the chat logs to discern what is what would require reading a lot to put everything into context.  I don't think HTC has the resources, time or inclination to delve into what has supposedly been working all along. 

The inmates finally figured out the warden was otherwise occupied.

YKW was a totally different scenario - he deliberately targeted and used multiple accounts, not so much for his smack talking per se, otherwise he'd have been muted more than me, amirite?  <--- see the hypocrisy coming out?  Did he drive a few players off? Possibly, but how many have come back since?

No one is forced to tune to ch200 or respond to another, and supposedly we're all responsible for what we say, not what others say. Sure, onboard with that, but it seems it's who, not what per se. <---- the hypocrisy, lofl, is why I'm here. 

Now you have people thinking they have power over HTC (look at 99capera's "threat of protest" in the first post here.)

Oldman was on the right track about what needs to be done about getting the .rpt function back to what it's intended for, offense, not annoyance.  It's a simple matter to change some relevant settings.  Yes, simple, but perhaps time consuming.

People might think HTC is okay with what is happening because of the silence, but that silence doesn't imply consent as much as it does "not worth the time." 

Do I go after the relatively few newbies we have? No!  I merely remark on weebsauce and then deal with the 17 anklehumpers because I stepped on their fragile weegos at some point in their weebsauce ah career.

Yet... bypassing the language filter is... ok.  .rpt sure doesn't seem work then - so is it who or what?

I've always pushed back against 2 things - hypocrisy and lying.  It might just be a "game," but I still have principles.

lofl and yet, here you are on my ankle ignoring your own advice - as usual.  You can also block even seeing my posts, so there's that. 



See how easy it is to click squelch player text/voice as it is to click .rpt? Easy as pie!  Annoyance vs offensive.  Whoosh right over your head like that star above.

See, you're just on my ankle without even reading the above.  And like those coordinating abuse of .rpt, it seems you're wanting to try the same with the BBS.

Vox Populi, indeed.

Nec audiendi qui solent dicere, Vox populi, vox Dei, quum tumultuositas vulgi semper insaniae proxima sit. ~Alcuin

"And those people should not be listened to who keep saying the voice of the people is the voice of God, since the riotousness of the crowd is always very close to madness."

Anyone that even slightly sided with you has moved away. Your attitude towards everyone is like acid.

lol nah but ok…

It’s not a problem for me I don’t do 200 and my post in this thread was not directed at you at all.

I’m quite content with everything around me thanks for asking. Don’t expect more replies.
