Have you ever noticed that certain players can mention something and it gets addressed immediately while 10 other players can mention something much more simple and it never gets addressed?

In my opinion this comes down to "some players are more important then other players"

It's funny every time I think about coming back I see something like this and knowing I'm already on the mods hair trigger list and would get muted for something that "more important players" could say without even a warning makes my change my mind again. I find it fascinating that I have never been warned, muted, banned or anything like that in any of the other sim games that I play and there are quite a few.

There are many options out there and more coming in the near future such as: Combat pilot, Aces of thunder, Korea Il-2, Cliffs of Dover Blitz (adding VR support) You would think it would be important to keep the few that are still left here.

I know you are well aware that all these subjects existed since AW AOL days. Ya see it somewhere on every game forum. Even the same Mod accusations. None of it is new, probably none of it will go away. Its the gaming world.

Some people look for reasons to not come back. If you never read the bbs you wouldn’t notice these things exist

And yes, we have repeat barkers, like every game.

I don’t understand why most your post contain why you’re not coming back, you’ll just move the goal post.

Maybe some ideas with pounding fist just aren’t great ideas. Some require too much coding.

I guess I live in a different "gaming world" because I never have had any mod interactions in any of the other games I've played online starting with AWdos but here I had them to the point of running me out. I guess I didn't understand how "some people" could go on profanity laced rants and I got a warning for using the word p*ssed.

I guess I'm weird in that I look for reasons to come back lol. I think you would know they exist if you you got on a mods sheet list and got warned for saying stuff others say without any repercussions.

Yes, but some barkers paid attention to without regard to to the the affects on the rest of the pack.

You must not read many of my posts if you think most of them contain "why I'm not coming back". I think you're right about moving goalposts. It seems the longer I'm away and the more flavors of other ice cream I try the less I miss the original flavor. There are still a few guys around that I miss hanging out with but at this point it looks like there may be more of the ones I'd rather not hang out with left.

Not sure what you're talking about with the pounding fist thing. The only thing I can think of was that years ago when the kill spam got implemented many asked for a dot command or a checkbox setting to /dev/null it. My opinion is that it never got implemented was because none of the "right people" ever asked for it.

I'm not sure how banning anyone for 8 days for using the .report command has a positive effect on anything. Do you think anybody will risk using the .report feature and risk getting an 8 day ban?

Yes I do think several folks regularly abuse it because the game is relatively unpoliced outside the in and outs of a mod or Dale when he logs in as a squirrel :old:

Apparently if you reported him in game you got banned, which is very counter productive for reporting toxic players.

As a reminder here's Skuzzy's post. I would suggest many of these same rules apply to 200 and Country channels;

By posting anywhere on this bulletin board, it is assumed all users have read and understand the following posting rules.

1- Posts are to be made in the relevant forum. Users are asked to read the forum descriptions before posting.

2- Threads should remain on topic, do not "hijack" topics.

3- Do not open a new thread that duplicates a current topic.

4- Flame baiting, flaming, being abusive, being disrespectful, trolling, spamming or posting to incite or annoy is not allowed. If you cannot make a positive contribution to the thread, then just stay out of it.

5- Members are asked to not act as "back seat moderators". If you feel a post violates the forum rules, the use the "Report to Moderator" link in the post to report it.

6- Posting pornographic or generally offensive text, images, links, etc. will not be tolerated. This includes attempts to bypass the profanity filter.

7- Cheating allegations or descriptions are not allowed. Email support@hitechcreations.com to report any issues regarding this. HTC permanently bans anyone caught cheating in Aces High. We take cheating and allegations of cheating very seriously.

8- Complaints about a player's behavior online should be emailed to support@hitechcreations.com rather than posted to this board.

9- Users are permitted to upload one of their own avatars. Avatars must be in good taste and consistent with the other rules of this board.

10- Do not punt topics. Punting would be making a non-substantive post for the express purpose of bring the thread to the top of the thread list.

11- Members should post in a way which is consistent with "normal writing". That is users should not post excessive numbers of emoticons, large, small or colored text, etc. Similarly users should not SHOUT or use excessive punctuation (e.g. ! and ?) in topic titles or posts.

12- All posts, in public forums, should be made in the English language.

13- Threads started devoid of commentary will not be allowed (i.e. links, cut-n-pastes, clicky, read this...)

14- Posting topics or threads which are based on politics, race, or religion is expressly forbidden.

Posts and threads may be edited, deleted, or locked for violations of these rules. Continued or blatant violation of these rules may result in a temporary or permanent ban.

If you see a post which may violate the above rules, please make use of the "Report to moderator" link provided in the post in question.  You may also provide your reasoning on how it violates the above rules.

Everyone has biases. Those who think or act like they don't are amusing.

hehe, i think its a squad based term at this point. but per the topic, ive found the squelch script can work with both VOX and chat. sometimes its just not worth the trouble to even spend the effort to type .squelch.

like a good friend of mine said, "Arguing with those people is like playing chess with a pigeon. It's just going to knock over the pieces, sh*t on the board, and then strut around like it won anyway."

Apparently in my response to gldnbb's continued harrasment I probably called him an idiot and got myself banned for 7.6 days (what an odd number)...
It is quite alarming considering the crap he spews every single day to the whole team. 
Cancelled the auto-sub but who am I kidding, i'll probably be back.

So are you back in ma yet?
