wow. muted for doing nothing!
« on: November 27, 2002, 10:03:52 PM »
I have to admit this one takes the cake.  I said nothing at all and was muted in the TA.  If this is a sign of HTC taking a more proactive approach to muting bad behavior, you guys are doing the right thing!  I dont want to hear that crap on the radio.  But I have to report this as just downright strange!  here is exactly what was on the radio at the time. I was muted for 60 min because of this.

You are suffering from the "s space it" syndrome known to propogate when the filter is set too high.

GALL DANGIT SLASH!  I knew it!

Drunky I have to ask the same question.  I have no idea what set off the mute.  That was what I saw on my end.  lowridin man myself were doing our own thing in a corner of the TA, and all of a sudden WHAMO I was muted.  As you can see in the text, there wes nothing to mute me for.  I am still trying to figure it out.  Big thing is that I got muted right after I entered that last sentence, and I cant see anything in there that might cause a mute.  Very odd!

Voss that makes sense.  The 'words it' must have been seen as something bad.

ouch. That is a little sensitive.  understandable, but still sensitive.  Keep up the good work htc, now just hit the shats, facks, and the rest.

Unless you reinstalled 1.10 from scratch, the key was never bound.  Try manually setting the control for it.

hmm funny iwheres the screen shot of the you have been muted message

hwy didnt you quit to desktop then go back in...unmutes you if you do that

probably bercause of s it...i think a better approach (rahter than mute) would be to just have the programn star out all possible swears...at first it would prolly be to sensitive but with some tweaking they could get it right

Papyrus Racing Games has had this feature in their online multiplayer for quite a while, so it is technically possible. I agree that this would be a better solution.

I was not particularly upset by the mute, as I was logging anyway.
