Channel 1 situation

We need the permasquelch but that’s not going to help much for hblair’s presented case.

Maybe some muting privileges should be given out to some individuals that have been in AH for awhile.  I know that’s another can of worms but there are several veteran squads out there with players who have been online long enough they have the respect of quite a few.

AH police corps!  Step up and be counted!  

Agreed.

That SSwaffen thing is perplexing...I mean I can understand why some may find it offensive.  What I don't understand is the guy's attachment to the name..he wasn't in the unit, claims to have no relatives that were.. said "it's just a name."  If so, why would he have such trouble changing it.  I'm not saying that someone should change their behavior every time someone gets their feelings hurt.. but there seems to be at least a nominal consenus that this guy's name is in bad taste.  Last night a guy came on with the name:  Flynazi.  People immediately jumped him for having that name. I tried to politely tell him on ch2 that I understand his love of German planes but the term "Nazi" has a connotation entirely different than "German".  He promptly told me to "F&*% off" So much for the constructive approach.
I've also heard some vets complaining that there are too many new people.  I thought, " Are you F%&*$#% kidding me?" People leave the game for various reasons, which means with no newcomers, the game will die out.  As trying as some new people can be, it is incumbent upon the vets to welcome them and help them as much as is practical and within reason. As a guilty member of the ch1 squeakers club, I am making a determined effort to curb my negativity and promote a fun communty...I think it is a good suggestion that the rest of my "club" follow suit.

i disagree with the suggestions to enlarge the ch1 gestapo - too often it's about who one knows as opposed to what one's saying.



now the perma-squelch thingy... i could go for that - it's a proven winner in other MMPOG's.

Yeah, a "visible presence" in the arena makes all the difference, doesn't it?

I agree.

Shane, your buttons are so easy to push it aint funny. Go back and read your cry thread. Most people sided with me. I wonder why.

How many times a week do you get muted now in the MA?

It's all a conspiracy though isn't it? You never did any wrong, just the system keeping you down huh?

Now go mow the grass.

you ready for the honest answer to that question?

zero, zip, nada.

i haven't been muted in quite some time, before even the last "warning" which was quite a while ago - remember the bw thread about "warned for 'being annoying"" ?

i guess the follow ups with the ch1 cops were effective for the most part in where people with the ability, as well as the *authority* to issue mutes and warnings have been instructed to issue them only in cases where they're truly needed and deserved, not merely an effront to one's milquetoast ass.  thanks for being instrumental in that.

 go back to war birds if you liked the way they handled it so much.

That's your assumption anyway. You have no idea what, if any affect your rants on bigweek had.

That is humorous seeings how this same crew was over there, and how I've been here since this game began and you're a refugee.

Have you mowed the grass yet?

almost as humerous as the realization that it *all* (WB, AH) descended from AW - but of course, you keep failing to acknowledge that, which is why you squeak so...  squeakily.

HT combined two passions to bring to realization his third, kudos to him and his crew; i'm sure they're grateful for the increase in business regardless of the source.

What? What does that have to do with anything ? Did you help code air warrior or what? I'm perplexed here. Go back and read what I posted. You need to have a clue what you're talking about before you pull the old "AW wuz first!" card. Sometimes it doesn't apply. (imagine that)

Unless you have something of some kind of value to add I'm done with you here. Don't feel like playing "gotcha!".

The whole point of this thread was to get input on how to maybe make channel one's content less of a freakshow.
