i agree 100 %
it seems odd that the filter is not in place in the TA.
and i see the same thing. most folks just want to learn, or "duel" one on one in a productive and healthy atmosphere.
however the insults and cuss words are all to often there. it is always a conflict with me as to whether i should take the person to task on their foul language and behavior, or ignore it and escape the escalation of mud slinging that results from telling a player to knock it off.
of course there is always the squelch option, but why should i have to? in addition, new players have enough trouble with the flight control aspect of the game, and shouldnt have to deal with "advanced" commands such as squelch.
