It's getting old. Very old.

I would like to recommend that we ALL step up the peer pressure and tell these guys to shut it up, immediately.

I bore silent witness to the episode that prompts your post Voss.
Both sides to that affair share some responsibility. As much as the other party was using his mouth (fingers) absurdly, he was egged on by well chosen words on the otherside as well. Pre-planned so as not to show on film evidence or otherwise.

No names, no pack drill. Gathering a viliante force to shush someone only breeds a response dictated by how well you feed the other guys ego with a reply.

Ignore them and you give them no voice.

That way the rest of us looking for comms info on field attacks dont have to scroll 10 metres up the chat buffer full of rubbish conversation.

Even those not pre-dispositioned to do so, get suckered into responding to an online shouting match. That only adds to what the rest of us have to wade through.

Voss,

I have to agree with you! Funny thing is it seems to be the same pilots night after night. They seem to do it just to push the envelope with the arena and get people to notice them. Then when they get booted or muted the come in here or back in the arena and rant about how censurship sux! LOL

It would be nice if we we all more conciderate of each other and just let our "guns do the talking" in the arena.

To me cursing lost its value when everyone started using it.
I, being one of the premier causes for the words filter, feel very dissapointed.

I'll try to do my best to ridicule those who use it, with witty taunts and ridicule of their noodle size.

fighting would be better than chatting. kills in the buffer would be better than chat in the buffer.

I refer you to my discussion about this some time ago. I don't mind the four letter words; it's racial/cultural/religious/sexist insults that I find much worse than words like diddly or shit.

I would like HTC to publish a standard Code of Conduct that could be enforced with community peer pressure, account suspension and banning.

A well publicized, clear and simple Code of Conduct is the first step in prevention. It provides a baseline of exceptible behavior that others can be judged by; but more importantly, serves as a positive reinforcement of what behavior is to be expected within the MA.

The Terms of Service agreement is not a Code of Conduct but it could include one, and should imo.

racial/cultural/religious/sexist insults are the best kind. It is allways someone who isn't of the racial/cultural/religious/sex who is the one who get's "insulted". self rightious little dicks IMO. Nice to get em out in the open.

I might not be of the racial/cultural/religious/sex that is being harassed over Channel 1. But If I read something that is truly wrong and hateful, I will be insulted.

Maybe we need some Main Arena Moderators?
