Seriously. Really?

Context was that capera (who is doing better, but still has some work to do) and 000trapr were having issues on 200. I chimed in that cap shouldn't be surprised that he's a 200 target (in very innocuous words, honestly) given his past and he told me to mind my own business.
Fair enough.
I then said the "Humanity is my business!" thing as a 200 Parthian shot and was about to do a strat run or something but got warned by a mod.

And so I logged.

Not a fan of capera but we do see eye to eye on some things. I'll paste something he said recently on a locked thread...here:


"I get the suggestion to go to HiTech, but it’s a dead end. He knows exactly what his moderators are doing and chooses not to act. I’ve spoken with him about this before, and he was very clear: his mods will not tolerate being questioned. That’s why I’m bringing it up here—because this is our community. The MA is our playground, so to speak. If we want to keep it from completely dying, we need to deal with the negativity ourselves.

Yeah, yeah, I get it—my past behaviour hasn’t exactly been stellar. But I’ve owned that, and I’ve worked to fix it. I’m not here pointing fingers to stir the pot. My reason for bringing this up is simple: to raise awareness about something that absolutely will drive players away if it keeps going unchecked. And the worst part? It’s so unnecessary."


The mod thing certainly drove me away today. I'm now petting my dog and listening to music on YouTube when I otherwise would have been adding to the game numbers and dynamics. My dog's happy about it. But HiTech shouldn't be.

I saw.  You and skyhawk were going at it all day, too.  I guess the mod wanted to cut things off before someone got ramped up.

I bet you just got a "calm down" warning.  All you had to do was realize why (you have not, it seems) and... calm down.

Y'all get real huffy over warnings, lofl.  Could be worse, could be people abusing the .rpt on you...amirite?

I'm always right, it just takes some poepl longer to come to that realization than others.

Can't say I'm surprised. As I think everybody knows the reason I left was for the mod giving me a language warning for using the word "pissed" and it ended up being the last straw for me.
Funny thing is that in all the online games I have played over the years I have never received a warning of any kind but in this one it happened to me numerous times while other players would go on and on about stuff that was much worse without a mute. Sadly after all the complaints and no changes I suspect that like all of the other things that have been brought up in this game that nothing will change.

You mean you got that message posted before the mod got you the warning for the last 3 sent.

Sorry, same subject, same usual suspects, none of which have an innocent reputation, always looking for that white line they were already shown, more than once. Its not #1 its #101.

The way I see the tough guy chat, if people were as tough as they act they would not crumble to warnings. This is thin skinned stuff. You’re either tough or you’re not.

Actually posting here knowingly solves zero, you all know where it belongs.

Repeat convo, some retain, some repeat. It will be repeated.

You won my 1 post quota today.

I don't know what that means.

I logged on, saw the bantering on 200 (nothing awful, I thought) and chimed in. I thought the Marley quote to Scrooge was appropriate and funny and ended with that (again, I thought). I literally made two posts. If a mod has to go into hyperdrive because of stuff like that I'll come back later after he has maybe drunk himself to sleep or gone off to bed with his boyfriend and have a fun game where we can banter mildly back and forth as we shoot each other down. End of story.

And HazMat, you're not back? Someone using your nick is shooting people down with surprising ease and bombing what-I-thought-to-be hidden GVs quickly and accurately. Skyrr, maybe?

Nah, I'm currently tied up in one of those "other games" trying to figure out how to manage those early cold war jets. Just got myself an early model A4 squad vehicle but I don't have the mods yet to carry sidewinders.

That was my first suspect when I heard somebody was using the same call sign that I used to use.

I'm sure if you tell it the 59th time it'll make a huge difference!

Either/or. But both could be simultaneously possible, glad you picked up on that.

Just saying the mod was overzealous to the extreme. He/She has whatever power HiTech bestows upon them in the game. Drunk and "otherwise oriented" are almost charitable ways to refer to this. But, yeah, it's (use your own euphemism here)...

Classy.

And you log off because you got a warning?  Really?  That would be pathetic.

So skyrr is probably back. I watched the guy own a decent bish pilot 4x while pretending to be you, while giving him slightly condescending advice with good English and no typos each time. Wonderful.

This one of Shames extra accounts? The tone sounds very similar.

When mods are on hair trigger I have better things to do. I have better things to do anyway. As do most of us.

I hope he bumps into Shame and shoots him down a few times. I can't already hear the weaksauce whines and accusations on 200. Lolz

lofl, what part do y'all struggle with in that I don't do shades.  :rolleyes: I'll straight up tell you how weebzy you are.

And, no. The current Hazmat in-game is not skyrr...  :rofl
