If you're leaving anyway SW, then why are you bothering to post here about it?  Does it mean that much to you?

I would re-iterate what I stated above, but I feel it would be lost on your lack of comprehension.

You are disillusioned Dingy. I wanted to know what the whatever was for. When you said I came in with alt and gangbanged you, I replied about how your numbers were greater than me. 3:1 isn't exactly a gangbang when I am the 1. I was giving you the facts of the situation. I didn't say you had to agree with me, I sent you a compliment and what I got back was just a whiney remark. It wasn't my ego that got bruised, I was inquiring as to why you couldn't just accept the compliment and be done with it rather than give me "Whatever" and then "you came in with alt". I don't need your respect, I don't need your compliments, but isn't it the decent thing to do if someone compliments you to acknowledge it? I guess in your mind you'd rather fling insults. The fact of the matter is, I still got muted for no reason. You were carrying on just as much as I was, but *I* was muted. I never said or implied you muted me, a customer did and I don't think it was just.

Anyways... this post wasn't about YOU Dingy... I was giving the background for the situation and why I think giving the customers god mode powers is roadkill, and this clearly proves it. If HTC leaves it the way they have it... fine I'm gone and you don't have to deal with me.

LOL!

Wulfie, wulfie...you know just as well as I do that this post IS about me otherwise you would have filled in the background without using my CPID.  The fact that you got muted in addition to having your compliment tossed back just bruised your ego.  

In response to your compliment, never once did I say you gangbanged me.  You had alt, you made some passes on me and pinged me, I lost rudder and went back home.  What pisses you off most is that I just didnt acknowledge your compliment.  

Now I have no idea where I have been slinging insults in your direction.  The only thing pissing you off here is that you arent getting the respect you feel you deserve from myself or anyone in the arena and your posts both in this thread and elsewhere suggest that.  My only suggestion is relax and take a chill pill  

Other than that, have a nice day!

\/\/hatever... I really hate it when people tell me what my point is, when I know full well what I am trying to get across.

Since you know what I am thinking before I do... you already know I will have quit, so no point in saying it.

Good luck HTC, you're gonna need it giving people godmode powers.

BUHBYE Wulfie!

Do the HTC appointed censors get free accounts?
Is there one on 24/7?
Do they fly or just police our language?
Are they multilingual in case someone from France or Japan or Mississippi get out of line?
Are they divinity students?

It is a bit sad that all that PC roadkill, protect us from foul language and people we may not agree with is imposed on us and actually welcomed by some.

The existence in AH of language and attitude police is a bit big brotherish but until IL2 gets here and actually works....

When did they put this thing in here and WTF is it for?

[airspro]

Former FA , zone pilots know how this works .

Never had to put up with this behavior , at least over and over agian like it been lately .

<S> HTC , about time too IMO . I have to .squelch 1 almost each and every time I fly .

 
OK I edited this to add :

 Hey my Mother taught me long ago how to get along with others , this might help you or others reading this thread .

"If you can't say anything nice , don't say anything at all"

Works just fine IMO too .

Goodbye SW

cheers ,

Well I'm with Red on this one. If some amazinhunk I don't even know and is not associated with or work for HTC mutes me then I doubt I would spend my money here either. I don't get out of line much but occasionally something pisses me off and I go off. If some unknown suckass starts muting me my account and I will be flying for BrandX. I dont like this idea at all and this is the first I ever heard of it and it pisses me off.


LLB OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I comprehend quite well the irony in this situation.

The very person who chided me for mentioning something I didn't like about AH because I wasn't planning staying, is himself complaining about something he doesn't like--even though he said he is most likely leaving.

And you couldn't even be civil in the matter.

Either way, we're even now and I harbor no ill-will towards you.  I believe in trading a jab for a jab, but no more.  I hope you have a good time in whatever game you end up playing.

Anybody else feel like they just endured an apisode of Springer?

I learned loooong ago that I aint gonna make the other guy see my way in an online "fight", so just let the other be the moron, and just type in a smiley. It'll burn him up, you'll come away looking golden, and he can make a dork out of himself.

SeaWulfe, do you have any proof that a customer of HTC muted you? When you got the "Use disgression" msg in your text buffer, whom was it from? I'm not aware of anyone with these type of powers in the MA besides the HTC folks, and the CM's only have that authority in the SEA. I think Hblair may be correct. You sure you didn't accidently say "dick" twice?

This is quickly turning into a witch hunt.  

DoKtor GonZo said:  

Does that mean that when some puckfuddle is mouthing off racist remarks on channel 1, and NOT being muted, that this behavior is approved of?

DoK, there is some kind of profanity/bad word filter in place in the MA. It warns you after your first time, then will mute you for a certain amount of time if you say the bad word again. If you want to know which words are on the filter list, call HTC and ask them. I'm not sure which racial slurs it catches.

Hey banana

I've muted myself quit a few times. I can only hope that these god powers are not handed out to regular players. If they are I will be highly dissapointed in HTC. After seeing your post I think Red just screwed up and typed two profane words. At least I HOPE so. We dont need players with god powers as long as there is a .squelch command. If Dingy didnt wanna hear what Red had to say all he has to do is type. Same for anybody else that found his type profane.

I sent this to banana.. but before I get mistaken as being incompetent as to understanding software... here's the email I sent him:
Positive it wasn't the software and positive it wasn't my language. After my inital warning I never said anything vulgar.

Here's a test you can do, say "sh*t" in the text buffer. You get warned, and the communication is NOT sent out. Other words that are not blocked by the vulgarity filter, dick and jesus christ are two I know of, will go through the communications channels and be broadcasted. The vulgarity filter is on the user's end, this prevents the server from checking everyone's text buffer. This in turn means someone is actually muting me. Before Nimitz said Jesus Christ on channel 1 and he got a warning.. about 2 minutes after he said it. He said it again and was muted shortly after saying it. I said it, and got a warning. Then we got a bunch of people to say it. Only I was warned, never muted and I said it maybe 3 or 4 times to test it. The other people never got a warning. When I said "dick" today, the warning came a while after I said the word and then I was muted for continuing to argue without any profanity.

It's definitely a person and it's more than likely a community member as I've heard this way of policing channel 1 mentioned before.

I have no intention of posting this on the HTC UBB, I am no longer a participant of the game but I am going to check that thread to ensure no one makes the mistake of thinking it's a software check.

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.

You all enjoy your freedom of speech now, ya hear!
