Giving Muting power to customers.. BIG mistake!!

I've figured it out... It was just a simple misunderstanding, a misread by the filter.

Look closely:

"I stated on the open channel "Thank.. whoever muted me" after I logged off and logged back in to avoid the 10 minute mute. When I typed this I was instantly muted again.

SeaWulfe, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just that I've never heard of any HTC-sponsored language police in the MA before. That's why I put the <shrug> in. I don't know what to think.

Sysops are a good idea...I've seen them in several games and I agree with their concept.  

If they feel your being unruly somehow and mute you, 99.9% of the time you deserved it..oh well

Wow this is really messed up. First of all I was there for the whole thing so i saw what went down. order of events:

-Wulfe kicks some bellybutton in his 205 and pisses people off cause they suck.
-Wulfe asks who the pony was that he shot and what fell off the plane.
-Dingy says rudder
-Wulfe <S>'s and says good fight
-Dingy responds with "whatever"

Ok i dont know dingy and have flown with him very little so i have no room to make a comment. even though he was acting like a dick, this was not the point of the first post made here. what happens next is the only thing that matters.

-Wulfe and Dingy along with a few others get into a little tiff over ch 1.
-Wulfe says "dick", then gets warned.
-Wulfe says NOTHING else bad and gets shut down.

THIS is where the problem is. some amazinhunk has the power to mute people not only from ch1 but from all channels, even squad channels, when ever they feel is diddlyed up. I understand the auto mute thing, i'm fine with that. but to give someone the power to mute another $30/month player with no reason is stupid.
HTC: IF you must have this function cause you think for some reason people who pay all this money to play a computer game arn't mature enough to regulate what they type or read THEN please spend a little more time to pick mature and non biased people to perform this job and stop f$%#ing with peoples money! Picking some banana that just sets behind a keyboard and mutes people he doesnt like is lame.

I think its a good idea, but not if it is implemented like folks are saying. There needs to be some designation to identify these people. Having power and being anonymous is a lot different than knowing that you will be accountable for what you do.

Simple solution to this problem... anything the person that just died says on chanel one is filtered to "<S>" for 2 minutes.

Yes, to heck with the other 150 people in the arena who get tired of hearing childish girl-fights on channel one, their money's not that important! Blowhard Bill pays 30 bucks a month so you better let him spew all he wants!

(not referring to this particular deal, but see the other side of the arguement?)

Personally, I have experienced exactly what AKSwulfe experienced, and it pissed me off to no end.  

I was flying one night, and said "Jesus Christ" on channel 1.  I got a message, something along the lines of "Improper language, you have been warned."  I did *not* get the message about cussing, "Continued use of profanity ..."  

Being pissed because I dont like being censored, I said "Jesus Christ" again on open comms, and I got muted for 10 minutes!  EVEN WORSE!  I quit, and came back on, and said "Why the hell did I get muted?"  MUTED AGAIN!  Someone that has this power is abusing it and this situation MUST be dealt with.

If it was HT.. even more reason for me to give up, turn the other way and just walk off. He muted me, but what about the other side? No, instead he muted just me only after 1 "profane" word. What about the other side? That pisses me off even more.

Sorry , I was there also and i have to set the record straight..
I was the Jug wulfe shot down,, I was on my way back to our field low and slow and happened to cross the path of this fight. There wasn't much i could do but i tried to take a shot, Wulfie roped me, i hit him but he killed me. I was hardly "pissed off", and I don't suck.

What a constructive post Fish.  You have something to say about the muting issue the Wulf brought up, then post it.  Bringing me into this again serves no purpose.
