Lighten up a bit Vossy..I would hardly classify that as an insult. As far as the gpretty showing up in the MA, sure it is some jokester.

Original post was negative & would have been an insult, and against teh new spirit of the BBS, hence is why I rethought & edited out.

this issue comes up now and tehn, and by now most, if not al of the people who have been here for 6+ months know the effects of a mass goon drop.

what's wrong with simply...

policing ourselves to not do it?

if you see one in planning or action, tell them the effects, broadcast it on ch2 and ch1 - take a screen shot, private the planner, take a screen shot.  

see where this is going?  it's pretty much almost a DOS attack or deliberate abuse of a bug...

if some people then decide to deliberately go along with the drop.. well....

I believe you have to broadcast to everyone or risk the invisible troops bug.  The downside to treating them like aircraft is that there are 10 of them... and there is a limit to how many aircraft you can view.

Its not just the bbs. It would be really great if everyone would mature and start putting peer pressure on countrymen. Im not without blame. I have often typed dammit or hell in the buffer but I try not to get insulting to others in the radio buffer. Sometimes all it takes is a few extra seconds of thought before hitting the enter key. None of us are perfect so it takes time and effort to break the old habits. Get on it and it may keep people happier in the arena and we may even see fewer burnouts. I will do what I can.
