Ive seen your examples, squelch is instant. Skyyrs first run thru the game he was a lot more vocal, he was squelched often. There was a spit driver, cant remember his name but he thought Bruv was his fighter pilot hero. He was very vocal, he was squelched often. Some nights their spewings would irritate me, other nights not, but squelch was handy and saved many a night for me.
There are few that I squelch these days, but I have no problem using it when the need is there. I dont think I have ever squelched Capera, but then again I dont annoy him, but if he acted up on my squad channel, or to me, .squelch xxx is your friend.
