Spamming Ch. 1...
« Reply #15 on: July 22, 2002, 12:56:36 PM »
Bantering too often evolves into down right rudeness.  Especially when you try to banter someone you don't know very well.  Why do some of you do it? Well, because that's your style.  Then, if the recipient gets offended, instead of just passing a kind and going about your business.  Some of yous bantering types start getting down right mouthy.  Perhaps because you don't understand why everyone doesn't think and act the same as you.  Why bother?  It creates an opportunity to cause an argument.  Which creates a negative environment for everyone.

I squelch ch 1 99% of the time also.  Too bad some of the pre-adolescent players ruin it for everyone else.

I try and salute those who deserve it....if I don't, it's because I'm up to my neck in folks who wish me harm:)

Overall, channel 1 is not that bad imo...just as in all other aspects of life, a few tend to taint things towards the negative.

I wish I had the button powers, there would be total harmony.

:D

I'm such a nice guy eh?

There ain't one.

Would be nice if they perked chest-thumping,.... impossible to implement. What REALLY gets annoying is the fact that squelch does not work for films. The chest-thumping gets recorded anyway.:rolleyes:

Blankets and baseball bats still work. :D

They have no effect in the virtual world...peer pressure on the other hand....

How's 'bout EVERYBODY make up their own silly lil' macro and start using it often in the MA? Then just MAYBE something will happen to quell that kind of crap in the text buffer:rolleyes:

It's getting serious, I had to reprogram my "squelch Dago" button to accomodate 28Sweep, I don't have enough buttons to squelch the entire OL*** squad though :mad:

Perhaps it would be useful for the host, after some tripwire number of players all squelch the same person, to just not pass on that player's radio messages...

You'd want to make the number high enough that you'd need more than the members of a single squadron to silence someone. Say, a limit of 50. If 50 people in the same country all squelch a player, that player's radio traffic on the country channel isn't passed on by the host, and if 50 people in any country squelch a player, that player's radio traffic on channel 1 isn't passed on by the host.

Yea, Ive noticed the signal to noise ratio has been getting a little hard to handle.  I do strongly agree we need to 28sweep (friendian slip)channel 1 of all such nonsence, and make channel 7 (or whatever) the official bozo channel for pre-pubecebt ramblings....then I can squelch 7 and still give my enemy an occasional
