Online Player Behavior (or lack thereof)

[wolf37]

hi all:

well to start with, Nath, if you are not going to say stuff, then we will have to say it for you, even if it is not something you would say, how else we going to make you look bad.

ok, now the real stuff, as for you that have small childen watching you play, i am soory they have to see such things in a game.

now on to me, I know that at times I get pissed off at some thing or somebody. and probably have said things that should not be said. now when this happens if I do not say sorry right away for bad behaver, I would hope a team mate would tell me to smarten up and if need be, log for a while to calm down.
but I know with out a dought, I would never say any thing like kick your kid in the head, or any thing as stupid as that.

oh and Nath, just kidding.

Last Saturday? Sunday maybe? dunno, but one of those days I went in private with renfield for a moment, thinking in giving an apology and start from 0. I called him 2 times "ehmm...have you got a second?".

THere was no asnwer, so well, I didnt work harder to make him answer  

I must have had you squelched RAM - precisely for the reasons I made the original post and reported your comments. If you wanted to apologize, well, I'm sorry. On the other hand, I've put up with your comments and bashing for over a month now. I hope you can understand that I really don't want anything to do with you at all no matter what your intention. I don't like you and I find you offensive. Your responses here are all the more reason. Keep your apologies.

I hope HTC will consider a publicly posted and enforced code of conduct. Comments like the one about kicking a kid in the head, the rants from those who don't like how someone else flys, etc., are ruining the sim. If it is allowed to continue, the good people will leave and all that will be left are the brats.

If it causes a few loudmouths to leave in a huff, too bad. The funny thing is what they would be leaving over - the perceived right to berate and verbally abuse other players. But I think that it would make room for the better players and the better personalities.

I tried to make peaces, nothing else. Maybe to start from zero, giving a chance...but well, it didnt work. And I cant say I'm very worried about it.  

BTW I doubt you had me squelched,as I was just logged on and had said nothing in text buffer. Maybe you lost the message during a fight, maybe not...thing is-I dont mind.

And I wont do that try again ,as I only try to make peaces with people worth respect. the other day I thought you had some hopes...now after your "informer/policeman" attitude (ROFL  ) I have lost any respect I had left towards you.

Not that you give a ratz prettythang about it, but I dont give it, neither  

BTW I can agree with you in that if someone says "kick the kid in the head" a screenshot is in order to be sent to HTC. Same with personal menaces, SERIOUS insults, etc...

 I ever sent one from a guy called Hitler4U when he said a lot of nazi crap in #1 and #2.

But to send shots because one calls the other a HO dweeb is laughable.

And sending shots because one called other warper is downright ridiculous and incredible.

And to "menace" that you will "document" anything out what you understand, are bounds, is just stupid. egocentric. Makes you appear like the "saint" of the arena, the one that has to cover our sin actions.

from one point of view is sickening. That is an attitude I so far saw in 10 year old kids.

On the other side, it is laughable. And very, very funny

One button.

One click.

Silenced forever.

[RAM]

Hummm DejaVu, what are you talking about?...maybe you have better memory than I have  

AKwabbit...oh, come on. Most of us explode in #1 channel. DAmnit I even saw Swager once exploding there!!! (and that is REALLY strange  ). I dont say that the kind of jumps that I did to HO people are acceptable. I DO say that I keep on seeing "HO dweeb" calls in #1 channel all nights I log. And since 2 weeks none from me  

WHat I mean is, if you are going to report ALL that is "out of bounds", HTC will suffer a mail collapse  . Let the shot posting for the REALLY serious problem (some kind of vocabulary , or "kick the kid" things).

At least is my point of view. I accept Hitech's of course, and that is why I am working in stopping my temper  .

[RAM]

LOL you're SO cruel!!!  

(Dangit, really sux I cant do it to the con!  , the laugh there will be incredible  )

[goat10]

I know some of you will rember a while back HiTech did bannish someone. I can't rember his name rite now but he had it comming. The guy was way out of line in the main room and just pushed thing to far, but from what I have seen in this thred we are on the right track to help keep things cool.

I Hate It When That Happens!

" Aces High is an adult game"

How does this give you the right to act like a little love muffin?

Act like an adult.

Squelch isnt the whole answer. Some may leave before they learn what a .squelch command is.

[Shade324th]

Well, there is a lot of talk about "What would a new user/customer think of this..."

Well, I  AM  a new user here in AH. And RAM, you're right ...this IS laughable.  ButI'm laughing at you and your attitude.

The people that hate speed limits are generally fast unsafe drivers.

The people that hate laws against hard core drug use are statistically  crack heads.

The people that hate being held accountable in this world are generally people up to no good. (taken from www.usatoday.com  polls)

I promise this:
My One month old baby girl, Elana, lays on my lap and I hold her while I play (my copilot    )...If ANYONE said "kick your kid in the head,..." in response to ANYTHING I said, I swear on my life I would find SOME way, SOMEHOW, to hunt them down and whip them like the dog they are.

The truth of the matter is that people take the internet and be someone they are not.  You can always tell a real puss in real life when they act like friggin Hulk hogan online.

Lets act like grown ups....why does there have to be the word "dweeb" in any way, shape, or form in this game. See, I graduated MIDDLE school,....so I don't use "dweeb" anymore.

I consider myself a good natured, peaceful person. But RAM, you are right, this is laughable.  The fact that one person stating his convictions and his desire to follow through with those convictions gets nailed to the cross is in fact laughable.  Anyone wonder why the world is going to the toejamter lately?

Convictions.  Standards.  

No one wants them.  No one feels they need them.

This is a game.  Lets have fun, ok?

I'm not worried AT ALL by Renfields desire to take screens and send them to HT.  Know why? BECAUSE I DON'T BASH PEOPLE.  And Ram....just becuase someone is forcing others to act thier age doesn't mean that they are thying to be a saint.

End of rant.  I don't have any problems with you, RAM. I hope we can get along.  But gamer to gamer, just thought you may consider my thoughts. Peace.

Um, what happened here?

I've been called worse things than a warper. The times I've been called I cheater, I've smiled and taken it as a compliment.

In general, I abhor any kind of censorship, with exceptions such as kiddie porn. Unfortunately, there are people who will misuse priviledges, i.e need to be governed, so I can see and respect a decision for a company to keep its product clean in terms of profanity.

Just ain't sure RAM's guilty of using expletives any more than some political leaders  , not in this case.

I lose my head in AH - generally I'm not that much of a competitive person preferring to chill out instead, but in AH, the competitive nature in me returns with a vengeance. So I'll have an outburst of the occasional "yaaargh, you HO dweeb" or "damned lagger" or something similar. And that's that. I'll also make rather crude and insensitive jokes now and then, just as (I've noticed) a lot of others in this community will.

I'm policed and PC'd enough in RL not to want it to happen too much in AH - I'll follow the general ethics, but there has to be room for the occasional "HO DWEEEEEB" call  . Or, "your filthy piece of distended rectum!" (thanks Red Dwarf  ).

Guess I am sorta abstracting from this situation and just speaking in general terms here.

Just to throw some fuel on the fire, isn't it a bit ironic that we complain and want to protect our kids from something aestethically ugly such a certain words, yet we have no problem letting them watch something decidedly humanly ugly (massive destruction, simulated death by fragmentation of virtual bodies as they're ripped apart by 20mm's)?

I think HTC's decision to keep the language clean is a wise one, but in terms of whines; we areth all but dweebs. We whine, therefore we are  . With the competitive nature of this game, I think we have to give ourselves some slack when it comes to whines - not too much, but at least some.

Otherwise I'd have to be kicked out long ago, when I called Torque a HO dweeb for actually managing to hit me in a HO  .

oh, btw, I *think* it was me (cannot recall for sure) who made the comment about the kick. Pretty tasteless, yeah, but then I ain't known for my exquisite taste. A joke, and nothing personal, and pretty much victimless. While I can understand and appreciate objections to such jokes, I'm still undecided whether I should be PC'ed with my jokes here as well, as long as they're harmless.

Off to do tedious stuff in a bit  .
