ENOUGH with the BS

Squelch command works pretty well for me.

Squelch works well except in cases where it should be permanent. We need both flavors as some may just be drunk one night and others are just constantly off their rocker.

No wonder you left, you struggled understanding the basics of HO/ramming which you overly relied on - let me remind you:

https://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,409359.msg5425153.html#msg5425153 

And yet here you are, both on my ankle and licking the window from outside - quite an accomplishment. Hopefully you've found someone to help you understand the mechanics of whatever game it is you're shilling.

And iirc, you left mostly because you were butthurt after encountering the auto-filter 10 min mute or a challenging a mod who suggested you chill (for whatever it was - too lazy to search the forum for your whinge.
(edit: naw, I wasn't. It was easy. https://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,408561.msg5410267.html#msg5410267

Lol. Couple things.

You seem to have the opinion that I care what you think. I assure you I didn't.

You and YKW are the same in that I suspect you save every film and or interaction that you've ever had just in cause you can use them in the future to belittle somebody in the future.

Maybe a little self reflection might be useful for you to understand why the things that are happening to you are happening and why nothing is being done about it.

I'm not shilling anything. I'm merely stating what we all already know. There are many alternatives to this game and many are being run off by people like you and and enjoying the alternatives.

Lastly, getting a warning for typing the word pissed, while others are constantly letting go of profanity laced tirades on the range channel to the point of my kids saying "bad word" like 5 times in 10 seconds doesn't seem like a fair practice to me. I for one figured out nothing is going to change, so I  I moved on. Like many others who have left,  I check in from time to time to see what's going on and hope for positive developments but I'm not holding my breath.

Still butthurt about getting the attention of a mod and a <snork!> 10 minute timeout  ?  (It might've even been the auto-mute from the filter list, who knows, really, but... butthurt.    )

Things said on range are only heard by those in range.200 is read by all if enabled. Voice squelch also exist.

Those targeted are not innocent lambs.

Well since it’s Friday night and we have successfully survived another week in a nuclear inferno-free stylee my musings on this subject…

Just as Holmes said an ideal reasoner could infer the Niagara Falls from a drop of water in the same way we can infer the troubles of our global society from this AH interchange:-

Shane is continually pointing out an abuse of the report system which is incorrect when deliberately contrived presumably because he is defending his right to point out weak gameplay which he perceives as damaging to the game. And he's right.

99Capera is defending what he perceives as personal attacks exasperated by his PTSD which he thinks should place certain limits on comments mostly from factions of the Knight's 'morning crew' if I have observed correctly (whose callsigns may or may not be prefixed with Mr.) in the past who sometimes take their comments far too vindictively far. And he's right.

Certain members of said aforementioned Knight's 'morning crew' (mostly with callsigns prefixed with Mr) believe in equality and don't accept PTSD as requiring special consideration and especially limitations on saying whatever they wish to say in the spirit of 'freedom of speech', the latter part of which is right.

HiTech, tired from decades of dealing with pointless arguing hosted on a subscription-based game, wishes people could all learn to get along, or otherwise fight it out without bothering him beyond the occasional instruction to one of his voluntary moderators whose job it is - after all - to hand out timeouts when some arbitrary line is crossed. And he's right.

The standard 200-dwelling AH player, in the meantime, is exercising their subscription-given right to make derogatory comments on the sexual-degradation - straight up swearing insult spectrum because they’ve been shot down by another player which they certainly didn’t pay $15 a month for in the first place as this certainly didn’t happen in the real World War. And they’re right, real WW2 pilots did not pay $15 a month.

Putin thinks there is no such thing as Ukrainians, they’re just disloyal Russian subjects, subject to him mostly and he’s all over 200 complaining that his army was not welcomed and threatening to set off his box of fake nuclear fireworks because no one respects his authority and his war budget has now nearly run out and it’s all gone Pete Tong, and he’s right.

The leap to the next level of human evolution is obvious: Just because people are convinced they are doing the right thing does not compel them to actually do it. Stopping asserting your position is not the same thing at all as conceding your position. Forcing people to accept your point invites that other’s points are similarly imposed on you with equal authority - you can just agree to disagree. And finally nothing is happening in a self-centred vacuum, everything we do affects others in accord with our societal-evolution which was formerly community-based: talking as well as listening, instead of just shouting be that via channel 200, Facebook or via artillery. And on that day the endless warring and injustices stopped and humanity moved forward, roughly and jerkily at first, but forward nonetheless.

Happy Friday.

Reminds me of the song “For What Its Worth” by Buffalo Springfield.
