Online Player Behavior (or lack thereof)

[Renfield]

I've had it with some of the players who continually berate and attack both here on the BBS and online in the arenas.

From now on I am screen-grabbing their offensive remarks in the arenas and forwarding transcripts to HTC for them to do with as they will.

Verbally attacking other players hurts the sim. I know it takes the fun out for me and I would bet that it causes people to leave and/or never convert from free trial to paying subscriptions.

I would much rather lose a few loudmouths who hurt the sim than better natured people who would swell player numbers and make the sim more enjoyable. That's not my decision though - but it is my decision to document this stuff.

Hopefully others feel the same way and I encourage everyone to start documenting abusive attacks and forwarding transcripts to HTC to put an end to this junk.

Let the chips fall where they may.

LOL!!!

Man you are just like the little child in the school that is acussing the other kids in the class because they dont behave like he wants.

LOL!, I am still laffing out loud about when you came in private and told me that you were "documenting" my behaviour because I had called someone warper (wich, BTW, was   )

In fact  , coming from you ,renfield, someone that we all know you have had your "good behaviour" in MA, is really to laugh the ar$e off  

Hehe keep on documenting, Renfield, instead of flying. THat was I'll laugh the double when I see you "documenting" about other's behaviour, and dying because you didnt saw the con on your six!!!  

"mum mum, little timmy has called me silly!!! I have proofs"...

HTC, you have "online behaviour policeman"...

Sorry, but...LMAO !!!!!!!!

Constructive response RAM...

[Renfield]

No, RAM, it is players like you who continually berate others who don't fly the way you want. I've been the point of your attacks a number of times and am tired of it.

Call it whatever you want, but providing the evidence to HTC will hopefully get you, and players like you, muzzled.

You hurt the sim and drive people away. I can't ban you myself or I would in a heartbeat. However I can provide the reason to those who do have that power and I intend to do so.

Call me whatever you like. Behave however you like. Just know that your attacks, when and if you continue to make them, will be furnished to HTC the same night from now on. They can do with them as they will.

If you think your behavior and treatment of other players is OK and that HTC condones it, keep right on doing it. My guess is that if you don't change your act, you will be history in Aces High.

  is there any way to be constructive about this guy going on private telling you that he is going to post a shot to HTC where I appear calling "warper" to Nath11?   Is THAT attitude constructive?  

My answer is just in line with the constructive post and "behaviour" of our loved "online Behaviourpoliceman"...

Sorry ,guys, but I cant stop laughing at this clown !!!  

ITs too much fun  

[RAM]

Humpf...double post...

LOL renfield!!

Yes, I'm sure that me and all who call "warpers" the guys who DO warp to their 6 are going to have serious problems with HTC. It is an unforgivable thing, I'm sure  

Has been WEEKS since I last called someone HO dweeb  ...

Now, send the shot to HTC...I think they can laugh as I am doing it right now  

BTW, Renfield, do you want me to go and copy about your "problems" with some guys in MA?...there are some posts not so long ago accusing you of jumping on people in MA  

heheh HAIL, behaviour policeman!!!

If you keep on posting them shots with people calling other "warpers" I think they will end tired of you  

[Renfield]

RAM, you are certainly free to document anything I say and forward it to HTC as well.

I have said things in the arena that I am not proud of but I intend to watch it from now on. I've had a pretty good example of how not to behave and how it appears to others.

The only thing I would like to come of this is a more friendly arena. How that is accomplished is up to everyone who flys there.

So make fun as much as you want and laugh as much as you want. I'm just saying I will be screen-grabbing and reporting. Yup, it may not be the best way, but you and others haven't responded to anything else except with attacks such as the ones you post here.

And you were doing a little more than just telling a guy he was warping. Might explain why you had to tell him you were squelching him after your comment to him. And the transcript has already been sent.

RAM,
Can you post a couple of more times in this thread within the next few minutes?  I don't think you have enough seperate posts in this one thread yet!

Anyway, Renfield is entitled to his opinion and to post it here, just as we all are.

And whether its right or wrong, I think his mind is in the right place.....trying to promote community in his own way.

Hehe YES! you are the policeman ,sir!...

hummm,no ,you are the informant   ROFL!

Maybe you "documented", too, Nath11's answer to my "good warp" phrase?...or were you too busy licking chops ?  .

Anyway I feel free to squelch the people I want (you the first, BTw, as soon as I see you online the next thing I do is squelching you  ) and saying so.

Uh yeah ,squelching people and warning them is VERY offensive...  

ROFLMAO!!!...man you are funny.

[CavemanJ]

hmmmm....
lessee....
where've I seen this before....

OH YEAH!
Mr Morality Police
Crabofix (wasn't it him?)
Every time someone would say something he found objectionable he would say "<click>" (or something like that, him taking a screenshot).
Dinnae people just start ignoring him?

I think one thing everyone needs to remember is that AH is targeting a mainly adult audience and that there WILL be and ARE huge egos here.  The very nature of the game nearly demands it.  And sometimes egos will collide explosively.
I've met a good number of fighter pilots.  On most things most of them are down right humble.  But when it comes to flying they're the biggest egomaniacs on the planet.  And they pretty much have to be, because they have to believe they're the best.

Ups...double post

-----------------------------------------
Cobra...Renfield is entitled to do anything and post his views here freely.

So I am ,and I find those views VERY funny. If I look them from a serious perspective, then I can take them less fun. Informants and cheap accusers never have been of my taste, I have a very BIG disrespect (bordering loathe) about people who acts that way.  

See today, he is "informing"   about my "bad behaviour", because I DARED to call someone "warper" and after reading his "kind" answer proceeded to squelch him in public.

Oh, yes and then I called renfield in private "WEENIE"  

As you see is really a serious guilt  .

Truth is, this guy cant see me, as I cant see him. We both like each other SO much... . And so he thought "I have him", when he had nothing, (and will never have, BTW  )

I never had too much respect about this guy, now I have none. And I prefer to laugh at him before taking him too seriously. If I did, then I prolly say something REALLY worth posting to HTC...and we dont want it, do we?

Ram, if you are seeing warps, it is very possible it is your connection.  Playing from so far away makes your connection much more in doubt.  I see very little warping in AH. Matter of fact, I very rarely see it.

Accusing or complaining of warping is kind of silly, as virtually nobody has control over this.  If one guy is warping badly, the best way to handle this is to go private with him and tell him in a nice way, and maybe ask him to try relogging.

I would suggest as for yourself, you examine your own behavior in AH.  You have gotten very well known as a complainer and a whiner.
Many players have lost respect for you due to your behavior.  You can, and probably will flame me for saying this, but it isnt personal, its just plain simple fact.

The way you resonded to this thread, when you werent even mentioned is a good illustration of your attitude.  I am sure most who read this thread will think your multiple posts and tone of those posts are in poor taste.

I try to stay low key, and have a good time, but if you were in my squad, I would ask you to leave. I get frustrated at times, and am not perfect, but I think your complaints and attitude are, in my opinion, a detriment to the game.

RAM, if HTC likes you attacking other players, they won't say or do anything and I'm just a dork to be ignored. Hell, they may not like it but may also decide not to do anything about it. You just may be able to keep on doing this stuff with complete impunity. I have no idea how they will respond. I'm just saying I'm tired of your behavior and since you seem incapable of responding to reason, I decided the best way was to just document and to encourage others to do the same thing for anyone getting out of control in the arenas.

I won't be saying "click". I will however be grabbing screens and turning in transcripts until I decide to stop. I warned you publicly so nobody can say it was a blind-side attack. Do whatever the hell you want and behave however you want. Again, whatever HTC decides to do with this is up to them. I am not the police. Call me an informant if you want. Ultimately this really is HTC's and your call.

My beef isn't with everybody in the arena. I certainly understand emotions and tempers flaring. My beef is with the guys you can count on to rip into others night after night after night. Like you for example.

So again, document me all you want. And if your behavior is how HTC wants the arena to be, fine - they will have lost a player. Me.

You really do suck the fun right out of the sim and I won't pay to listen to you whine and squeak night after night. Sure I could squelch you (and do frequently) but you still have your effect on the other players and the new guys who may or may not convert to paying after you lambast them mercilessly for an "HO" or for "running away". Your effect on the sim goes way beyond anything their flying might do and it isn't a good effect either.
