Cavey... I find it hard to believe you could even remotely be objective on this subject.

I remember the last time I shot you down:

Cavmanj:"You fluff'ng prettythanghole!!"

Probably couldn't figure out why you got squelched that time either.

I readily admit that I have earned more "time outs" than I have actually recieved.

My chief complaint with the monitors is the lack of warnings and the muting for no apparent reason, other than the person doesn't like you.

And that you can't give a 6call while muted, I assume because it automatically sends a private text message.  That's a total pain.

Though I can't recall ever using "You squealing prettythanghole!!"  when I'm shot down (TWO individuals excluded, and you AREN'T one of them DJ).  It's more along the lines of "WTF" or "That was total roadkill"

dont make racial jokes...dont swear...shut up and fly...only things you can do

[BUG_EAF322]

It never came to mind to be offending and it wasn't offending.

rooks got killed at 38
their carcasses would be eaten by dogs

the joke would be the dogs couldn't eat em
clue they are pigs

it's playing with words that's all

not a joke anymore

But Big Brother police taped my mouth

Cavey... the first 8 times you are muted is the warning.  Why bother after that?

And... I distinctly remember you saying that Cavey.

I remember something not too far off from every engagement I've ever had with you.

Really... you should not be complaining about being muted.  You should be thankfull to even have an account at all.

And Bug... that's a stretch for a joke.  Especially for one that isn't funny.  And once you call it a "Jewish dog".... you've attatched a race lable.  Some might think its funny... many others might not.  HTC isn't really concerned with the few that might think it was funny.

No matter how we europeans hate it or feel weird about it, America doesn't really have a freedom of speech or expression. It's one of the most censored countries in the world nowadays.

The moralist influence on media is very strong so bad words, gestures and nipples get filtered away from the media (even though everyone knows well what words come under the beeping or which fingers the people are showing under the censor ball..)

One really funny example was in the tv-series strong medicine which I saw yesterday. In the episode two street kids made a graffiti on the hospital wall. It portrayed a naked woman after birth holding her baby in the air.. She was totally naked on the bed - and she had no nipples, just breast shaped bumps.

That lead me to wonder once again what is offensive in a womans nipple.

I'm pretty sure many pre-teenagers get scared when they undress their girlfriends for the first time.. EEEEK! What are those? Tumors? LOL.

Anyways, this is the attitude in power in the states today and we have to live with it as we subscribe to the game.

MrRipley, you said it yourself- this is a game.

I'm sure you excercise caution when speaking around youngsters and their parents.

Is it really that hard to do it here? Not everyone playing this game is an adult- and it's not limited to adults- so pretend for a second this is the real world... would you really say what you're about to say?

Chances are if it involves racial slang or an insult, your friends and people you know in reality will find it funny (especially when it's in your native tongue, if Americans can't understand it- they don't want to understand it) while people playing this game may not.

Yes- America has become anal retentive in terms of censorship (and censorship laws- sweet jebus that's just pathetic), but in the case of an online game- it isn't just America that would excercise censorship of the radio.

I'll leave you with one thought to ponder- on Hyperlobby, and Kali(when it existed) and several other games I *NEVER* see anyone cursing, talking smack, using racial vulgarities or anything of that nature... so why is it so prominent in Aces High that we actually need a monitor?

Not that I agree with these anonymous monitors... it's like having a deaf, dumb and blind man leading the pack.

You do have a point there Ak. OTOH I consider personal contact in a face-to-face situation a bit different than playing a game and typing.

Filtering in the end is a good thing even though it really pisses me off too if I type something that's not allowed in the heat of the moment.

Typing is like a fourth language for me because I've been active on IRC for years, I type with all 11 fingers and I don't really see the difference for me to communicate via speech or words. That's why I also can type stuff straight out of my mind without having to concentrate on it specially. I might say something like 'oh toejam a spit saw me kill him' if I'm gooning very spontaniously, and that brings up the warning boxes.

It's a question of choices. Bad words won't harm anyone unless they're used in a harassive matter but they are not intellectual way of communicating either.

Long story short: I think the cuss filter is a good idea, I just hate when it's being applied to me

If this is the biggest thing you have to complain about, then you are truly blessed.

Ponder that while you have your moment of angst.
