Ahem.
As somebody with more time in multi-player games than say, oh, uh, HT for example, lemme say this:
Do not even try to censor the radio. I realize this exposes the weak and defenseless to profanity, but the lines will ALWAYS be too fuzzy to prevent arbitrary harassment by anybody with bwana power. The warnings and mutings are damned arbitrary, which does give people even more stuff to be offended by.
I was there for the great Vermin language banning in what, 1989? He was back on a 2nd account the next Saturday. And the resulting fiasco at Kesmai when they gave Pangloss bwana privileges actually hurt business.
My recommendation is give the users more tools to administer squelching. A little squelch list editor with more options to choose from.
If there is going to be "auto-monitoring" let the USER turn it on or off. If the user has control, how many will complain to HTC?
mullah
