I usually have #1 squelched when I log on...

... then 5 minutes later I have to unsquelch it, coz I think its kinda rude to abuse someone on #1 when you've got it squelched

Well, I don't have a current macro for squelch but I did in Air Warrior and I would add morons as they appeared. I feel it's better to squelch the Jerks in the crowd then the entire crowd because of a few jerks. By and large I enjoy the ribbing, and banter as long as it is in Fun and not whineing. But I used to play in RR in AW with the rest of the Macro Maniacs. I know that many folks that played FR frowned on Macros in a big way. It was their business. I didnt play there so I never really cared. But in RR it was funny to see all the trash and some of the Macros were Very funny. As I said, as long as the ribbing was in fun and not taken to the personal level, who cares. It's a game. Even when it is, at the risk of being redundent. Squelch the fools, not the folk.

I never normally squelch, unless there is an arguement that is endless or someone taunts another player about how much they suck, also when there are loads of players on i sometimes squelch so that i can read what my country is saying.

Hold in the S3 button and press the S1 button on my joystick and the text buffer is brought up, ".squelch 1" is automatically entered and then the Enter keypress is sent.

I never have to take my hands of my stick and throttle.

I have found the game to be very much more enjoyable without watching the political neandertals spam channel 1.

Aye, also 1st thing i do on entering the arena. Why there isn't an ini file that recalls your preferred setting for this god only knows. One of the more amateur aspects of the AH?

I only squelch 1 when the signal : whine ratio gets too low or when I'm missing info because the buffer is filling too fast. I enjoy chatting to my fellow addicts on sending/receiving ~~'s after a good fight...~~

Naw, I normally just ignore it. Red and purple text is all that really gets my attention.
If it is scrolling too fast squelching 2 or 3 guys usually takes care of 50% of it

There's too much fantastically retarded stuff going on on channel 1 for me to squelch it. The only time I HAVE squelched it was a loong time ago when Nath got some gay discussion going on the open about how purty and special some LuftWaffle pile-it or general or something-or-other was, and got half the arena arguing about it. I couldn't take it anymore and the .squelch command has (or had) a limit on how many people you can squelch at one time, so once I reached that limit and still wasn't finished I had to just squelch 1.

It's standard practice for me nowadays to .squelch 1 as soon as I log into the MA.

Nah, don't squelch it, never felt the need. In the heat of combat I don't even notice. Maybe something to do with the hours I'm playing (GMT +1 based).

One day I took off from a carrier, nicely close to an undefended field (rare occasion). Flew around a bit, got into a dogfight with the lone guy/gal rising to meet the challenge, f*cked up as usual and had to chicken out low over the water to my CV. Suddenly a million check 6-es and a truckload of verbal abuse over my own countries channel. Without ever noticing the text buffer or paying much attention, a lone guy had managed to get the carrier close, level the town and was on the verge of capturing the field with a LVTA. He thought I was buzzing him for air cover, asked not to but I hardely noticed him in the heat of the dogfight. You can guess what happened, he got blasted and I took the full frustration of that. I HATE agression towards me in any shape or form but I can understand his sentiments. But nevertheless, it's only a game...

squeaking over vox can be annoying, I got a lot of abuse lately for 'stealing someone's kill'. Weeelll, the person involved was already chasing that Fw-190 when I WAS TAKING OFF and still hadn't got him when I got up to a nice speed and altitude to engage. I had him in seconds, even with the sucky cannons of my La-5. If you can do better shoot him first.

Much of my enjoyment in the MA is watching Channel 1. I never squelch it.
