More of this is what we need

Shane if you keep at it he will invite himself to your house, and threaten harm to you.  All it takes is to climb to 35k and drop his bombers.

Can always count on this from Lazerr. I get it.

Again, I have corrected my ways. But there is always someone in here that will 'keep' passing judgment.

And again....for the record. I did not say I was coming to your house..... I was mearly trying to remind YOU, that if YOU play the tough guy, hiding behind a keyboard, that there is something out there called the Dark Web. Filled with 17 year olds that can find out how much $$$ you have in the bank. It was a "heads up" to YOU.....based on YOUR trolling and bravado behind a keyboard.

I hope you have healed.

When I saw you commented, before I even got to read it I knew it was going to be something along these lines 

Cap… not gonna try and tell you what to do man… I would just suggest not engaging at all on 200, like Eagler said… all I send on 200 is salutes and way to gos and good fights, just try and stay out of the nonsense

I'm pretty sure the mods have a standing order to mute anyone that responds to a warning from a mod.

Based on all the crying from the keyboard warriors crying about "mod abuse" when getting a mute, it seems to me they are very consistent.

In short, if you get warned, STFU.

Thank you. I get it. Honestly, I’m just about at the point of joining you guys in ignoring the noise. Maybe that really is the answer. But at the same time, I can’t help but think about the new players, or those coming back after a break. If all they hear on channel 200 is constant negativity and hate, they’re not going to stick around. And if that keeps up, our numbers will just keep dropping. It’s senseless.

The negativity on 200 ramps up hard sometimes. That’s what I was trying to explain to Shane—the online presence is too small now to support a trash-talk culture like it used to. There’s just not enough people for that kind of toxicity to be “part of the fun” anymore.

Sure, I could ignore it. I could walk right past it. But if nobody ever calls it out, we’re going to watch this sim fade away because of it. And that would be a shame.

The warning pop up went by too fast, as I was typing to Shane. I then asked if that was a warning...and got a 10 min mute, instead of verification. All the Mod had to do was resend the warning. But no...I got penalized for asking a question. No profanity. No anger. An honest question.

……….and after reading yet another thread about “mod abuse”, I say that my decision to not tune 200 at all was and still is the right one for me.  Seen too much nonsense there, with little said that is constructive to the game and game play. 
The ONLY reasonable/rational response would be to call or email HT directly.  Oh, and be satisfied that you handled your end the right way.  Whether HT agrees with you or not is not the issue…..contrary to what was said previously, the server and arenas are HIS playground.  He allows us access to the, when we pay the monthly sub, and oh yeah, we agree to his rules. 
I don’t always agree with HT’s decisions.  That’s just life.  I have the choice, as does everyone else, to continue playing the game despite not agreeing with him,……or not. 
Coming here and causing more drama is not the solution, ever.

All we are saying is that venting your grievances here is a waste of time. The Ultimate moderator of the game and these forums is HT. You could take your complaint to him... the rest of us couldn't care less.

Seems as though there are some on here who just do not have fun playing this game. There has been so much bickering on 200 and in the forums

For me it has always been give or take. I have good days and have some bad days and will always try to adapt when having bad days. I will side switch if I can switch back when squaddies log on. I will ignore what the map is doing if we are getting hoarded or do whatever.
Once the game gets too much (which is very rare), I will just log off. No need to let everyone know, no need for drama. Just log off, take a breather and hope next time I log on, I can get a fun sortie or few.

Last night, I called out Shane on 200 for his constant negativity. Everyone knows Shane loves to berate others on 200 and it simply drags the vibe down. After watching him do it again, I finally said, 'Shane, for God’s sake, can you not be nice? The community is too small now, to be trollin. Throw some positivity out there for once."

As soon as I typed that, I thought I seen a warning pop up go by as I was typing. When I asked if that was a warning, I got slapped with a 10-minute mute. After the 10 min mute ended, I came back and said, 'I just got a 10-minute penalty for asking someone to be nice. No wonder the community is shrinking.' Bam, that earned me a two-hour mute.

This kind of abuse from anonymous moderators is unacceptable. This is not moderation....this is abuse of moderation privileges. With our online community struggling, this kind of moderation is definitely not encouraging people to stay.

This crap is the main reason I don't play anymore. The thing that you will notice is some people can say things that other people get muted for.

[hazmatt]

this should've been sent straight to hitech!

Good luck with that. When I said I was going to quit a friend said he contacted HT about it and was told there wasn't any records of me being warned or muted...
