I've noticed it, and frankly I don't care either way. I never understood why some people MUST swear in game, like it means something to them.

I don't know...I always saw any swearing (used as an insult or otherwise) was just like poking fun at someone. It makes them feel better as they know they'll never be as good/popular as you. It's the way it works in high school...so why not here?

Just being the center of attention is the main motivator.

Ego is a hard thing to over come for a lot of people.

there are kids that play ah... yes some not even teens
there are dads whose kids may like to watch play...

true society seems to accept this crap more and more BUT...

swearing is a show of disrespect, and a poor reflection on yerself...

next job interview you go to... say "F**kin glad to meet you" when you meet the person... see how long the interview lasts..

There are rude dudes around - the most extreme losers will even private you with the worst.  Thankfully there is the squlech function - I just wish there was an utility to make it persistent.

I do my far share of talking on channel 1 ;) but i never use bad words or be racistest or anything of that type..
I hear people (no names.. well if u want me too i can cus i dont like him) would say the F word on AHV, is that worse then on channel 1? channel 1 u cant cuss but u can re word the word? like "fuc" and i dont see what is bad about that... AHV is another thing... people can HEAR that, if you dont wanna see what they type.. dont look down at the chat buffer but AHV u cant turn off (only squelch the person)

uhh to late so i forgot the reason to this post.. nm

Since this thread is about me I feel compelled to put in my 2cents worth. But first, Gman, if your going to post an event that occured..tell it right will ya, or at least tell the whole story.


(posted by Gman)
I know the incidents that Voss is referring to, I saw it go down, and the guy in question was using the old "chit, fugging" workaround while insulting him. The words don't bother me as much as the plain lack of respect towards others.

Now, it went like this..I was in a panzer fight, hit the other guy from 1200 out 4 times, nuthing, he hits me once, I explode. A second later I type on open channel * Fuggn BS *  period, nothing more.
 Voss then takes it upon himself to act like my father and tell me to watch my language, upon which I asked him if he was going to wash my mouth with soap. He replied with a remark, so i let him know that we do have a squelch option.
Well upon hearing the squelch remark, Voss then threatens to get me booted from AH..my reply was very frank....turn on film and get ready... Go Away Fuggn Dweeb.
Well, not real sure if he said anything more, his girlfriend STUPID was bsy telling me to change countries....yadda yadda yadda.
Hell, even AKCurly decided he needed in on the action and asked me to repeat for him to film, so I obliged him as well...my exact response was  Fuggn Icehole  ;)

Now I am curious, what on earth gives you people the impression that it's OK to butt into a converstion or comment or whatever  that has absolutely nothing to do with you? Had no one said anything, it would have been over and done, but no, guys just had to chime in.
Am I saying I want the text buffer filled with curse words, of course not, but the occasional outburst consisting of 2 lousy words, which would disappear from the text buffer 4 secs later, is not a serious issue.
But I do consider making threats such as" getting someone booted from AH " to be a very serious issue.  And for every action, there is a reaction, and if ya cant handle it, dont put your nose where it doesnt belong.

Well Wolf, since you brought it up.

I find you to be even more immature then the moron from knights that went on the rage last night. All I asked was for you to engage some thought before typing anything in the buffer. Apparently, you are not up to the task. I think your CONSTANT raving about such things as random ping counts needs to stay out of the buffer. You're even worse on AHVoice. When you go off on your rants on AHVoice it comes across my speakers at twice the volumn of the game sounds.

Pongo, it lasted for five minutes at the most. Obviously, you prefer foul language online. I don't, I know HTC doesn't, and apparently there are many users online that agree.

Voss..put the crack pipe down, your brain is shot. Very seldom do I comment about warps, never have i said anything about ping counts, and when I do it's a very simple 'check your connection'   and as for voice...Im seldom on local, usually on squad. Why don't you just grow up, change countries, or just plain disappear..this thread is dead....Ohh and i stand corrected, you are a tard not a dweeb, thnx for reminding me.

For the guys that say "squelch 1," well, for me, that's a problem.  Much of the entertainment in Aces High comes from channel 1.

I don't think any of us mind the infrequent profane remark.  Indeed, even worse than profanities and obscenities are the attempts by guys in the arena to be provocative.  For example, several guys will make anti-semitic remarks in an attempt to stir up channel 1.

Every squad has a guy or two who sometimes gets on channel one when the arena would be better served by their silence.

I would not like HTC to single out profane remarks.  Instead, I wish they would attempt to control the disruptive participant.

Some time ago, HTC did have player-monitors, guys with the authority to eject participants.  At the time, I thought "nah, that's not good."  Well, I would like to change my mind.

I think all guys who state 1) unrelenting profanities, 2)unrelenting obscene remarks (including substitutes) and 3) troll on channel one by making anti-semetic/anti-american/etc remarks should be given a 15-30 minute vacation from Aces High.  If they return and persist, give them a 24 hour vacation.

thats how it worked for the most part in AW and it worked VERY well
and if that didn't work, there was the "On Screen Warning" - set words we had to keep in an uploadable file and were required to be able to upload quickly!  I usually started with a gentle warning, followed by a slightly more serious one and finally the OSW....  that usually did the trick, at least in any situations I was involved in....  :)

Well, we usually ignored exclamations that people made in the heat of the moment, for the most part, and only really got involved if the arena was becoming disrupted by someone continuously mouthing off obscenities.  It could be a fine line sometimes, but we were very well trained and usually tried not to jump in too quickly.

Heck, guys like Leftfoot say WTF, or OMG, or BS every time they get shot down nearly, it's virtually a trademark of the more colorfull guys in the arena, but we ALL KNOW what these abbreviations mean.  Even Hitech's squad name could fall into this category.  Where is the line drawn?
Most of these would have been ignored in AW - like you say, they are trade-marks....  :)

"Fuggin Retard" is "foul"?

Holy Anal High, that takes the cake.

I do wish I could put ZeroPing on permanent squelch though for what it's worth. I'd even chip in $20 to buy that bore a AOL chat account to save the buffer bandwidth.

I think what most folks object to is unrelenting behavior - behavior designed to disrupt channel 1/2.
