sigh abuse of .rpt again lofl
« on: April 20, 2026, 01:47:35 PM »
Apparently something in this screenshot caused 99Mule/Capera to abuse the .rpt function as he has been doing lately.

 :rolleyes:   

Not worth calling HTC - just leaving it here for posterity.

I normally don't enter these conversations, but....................what did you say that anyone, ANYONE, would want to report?
Looks like a normal MA conversation to me. 
Don't see anything that you said that merits a .rpt at all.

Been a lot of that lately it seems. According to the Arena Tables it only take 5 reports to trigger a mute. Seems like a pretty low number to me, I would think a minimum of 10 should be needed, or better yet 12. Don't for get "squelch" is your friend. :rock

...why...he questioned the 99s' strategy!  Outrageous, I say.  Who does he think he is?

The report function has way outlived its usefulness.  Back in the 600-in-the-arenas day, when the cross-country channel resembled a cesspool, it made a certain amount of sense.  No more.

It may have not been a number of players using the .rpt, which if that is the case, you're making accusations that aren't true.  You could have been muted because of your "ffs" comment which could be in the auto-mute filter or you could have been moderated.  <shrugs>

I always looked at rpt and mute as filling a void of mods not online.

I suspect mods take a beating for what the auto filter and mute does.

I also sense players who use rpt button on 200 and bbs are same players who cam’t take what they put out. Abusive hypocrite personalities.

Someone here hits the rot button on almost every post/reply I make,
So yes, some parties are deff abusing it

I better step up my game. Shane starting to overtake me again on the FUSS generator spectrum :old:

I remember the days when my expectations were unrealistic due to low population numbers in the MA.

But I channelled that energy, killed off the old me, and rose like a pheonix as the GOAT

I'm still wondering what a forum warning feels like - never got one of those.  :banana: :banana: :banana:

It holds a grudge a long time. My newest warning on the list is 2026 but I still have naughty points dating back to 2017. Sheesh :rolleyes:
