Why not simply replace the offending text with some "*"s ?
(That way... J_a_b could maybe get his"_" too one day :D)

I know for a fact that you can type the words, "ultra melon" and "assclown", on the country channel.

Maybe 60 mins is a *little* excessive. (though u can still just relog)
But if you really dont wanna be muted, its really simple - dont say anything to get yourself muted.
I didnt even know AH had a mutesystem untill recently and I've been here over a year.

BTW assume would not get u muted, I think the code only looks for full words, not parts of words.

Rude's right, except that just about the entire squealing Pigs squadron which at one time numbered 25 members, tried and gave up on AH.  The most common reasons were the game's lack of focus on air combat, and heavy-handed adminstration.

Piss off, every damn one of you.  HTC included.  Happy f**king turkey day.  Maybe I'll get muted for typing "turkey".

If you need an arena with more than 8 slots, tough luck.  AH isn't about air combat anymore and griping about it isn't going to get you anywhere.  Well, it might YOU somewhere, it didn't work for me though.

Just about my entire squad has quit AH over this and other issues.  Every "feature" that took the game farther away from it's original focus on air combat caused one more flying pig to cancel his account.  I know 10-15 players isn't really that much revenue, but from the amount of griping about non-gameplay B*LLS**T coming from half the players posting to the BBS, I can't imagine we're the only group deciding to spend our money elsewhere.

When was the last time you got muted playing GPL or America's Army?  BF1942?


Cmon Eagl.....

If ya didn't  like the game fine....coming to this bbs and trying to get others to quit so you'll feel better is pathetic.

Btw, would ya mind listing those who quit with you...I'm not aware of the other 10-15 who just walked out.

Anyone who equates foul language with being an adult is certainly not an adult. :rolleyes:  They are NOT related.

BTW this game is NOT dedicated for "adult only" participation. There is NOT a minimum age for play nor membership as a subscriber. Obviously from those who think foul language is an indicator of being an adult there is also not a minimum IQ level required either.

You should know that in the United States of America, you can not obtain a credit card unless you are at least 18 years of age, and without a credit card, you can not subscribe to Aces High, and therefore, all Aces High subscribers must be adults, since you can not subscribe to Aces High without a credit card, and since you can't get a credit card unless you are 18 years of age, when you are legally considered an adult.  (They call this the "age of majority", but since the rest of the forums are apparently two steps ahead of you as it is, never mind that.  I'm not trying to befuddle you here.)  A minimum IQ is certainly required to follow this chain of logic, and it doesn't take a lawyer to comprehend the legality of accepting credit card payments from minors.

Again, for the sake of you intelligent people out there who keep putting words into my mouth, I said:

If you've gotten over the "age of majority" thing, clear your mind (so as not to strain its capacity to comprehend this), and re-read:  "We're all adults here."  Nothing has been said which relates being adults to using foul language.  Something has been said which relates being a WWII pilot or a commander and foul language.

You should know you do NOT have to be 18 to get a credit card in America. You only have to have a parent's permmission. You should also know that not all players here are on an account paid for by themselves, a parent paid for it. Many under the age of 19 have credit cards.

The age of majority IS 18 for most things other than alcohol purchases. You do not have to be 18 to have an account with HTC.

You should also know that not all posts are related to those made by you. There are others who post here who realize the world does NOT rotate around your posterior. This is even though your posterior just might be large enough to have that much gravitational pull. Please understand that. In THIS case this post IS related to yours. Please note the quote.
