MA channel 1

I do not want it to turn into a flame war, so consider it as me asking a favor.

Please keep major offtopic talkes out of channel 1.

Seeing Afganistan problem flame on channel 1 during 15 minutes is not fun. I do not want to squelch the whole channel, because there are some other game related information I can not see doing it, greetings and salutations from people etc. Typing 'squelch' 10 times is not fun too.

If you want to discuss it -- post at the OC, its a good place for such discussions, and more people could read it,

Thanks,

Edit:

And to try to keep it constructive, how about adding one channel (10 lets say) as an official "offtopic" AH chat channel?

When you lessen the ability of bored bomber pilots to irritate the hell out of fighter pilots with endless banter, you diminish their effectiveness.  :D

Eh....Fariz, you apparently have no idea what WHY we're given the tools to communicate in the first place.

AH itself is just a game.  Take away the friendship, communication, meaningless banter, flames, long-winded conversations; take  that all away and you're left with nothing more than the equivalent of a single-player boxed game.

The communication--the people--is why we're here in the first place.

So take away flying from it and make AH a chat.

Good luck  :)

I agree with fariz. Channel 1 has gotten out of hand, And that's saying a lot.

While we're on the subject, what happened to the wirty-dord filter? or arena monitors for that matter?

I too end up .squelching 1 not because I have trouble ignoring the girls chatting, but because the signal to noise ratio is so low that many times important stuff rolls out of the buffer before I get a chance to see it.

Once again, I really really (read: really) feel that a permanent squelch list would be nice.

And once again I second the motion for a permanent squelch list.

I believe one of my Squadmates said this once.   " AH is a Chat room with flightsim plug in "     Dosn't matter to me whats said on Ch 1.  If it's not something I want to hear about .squelch 1  works for me.

OH!  So THATS why all of our planes have guns.  I was confused.

Seriously, I play the game to shoot people down in mock air-to-air combat because I am not good enough in real life to make it in the real airforce.

Squelch 1.  And squelch 6 (the kill calls).  You won't miss much.

Hans.

I agree that it is out of hand, but don't want to be forced to squelch 1.

Seriously, we're here for human interaction.

If you're here SOLELY to shoot planes, I advise saving yourself some money and playing offline sims.

Hmm,

Censorship?  Not really.  Stopping your fun?  Maybe.  Saying what's on your mind.  Priceless!  Society for a corrective thought?
I hope not........If you are afraid of an open mic society....then don't listen, that's why the .squelch command is in place.
Some nights it's funny and some nights it's not........turn the channel.  I for one like to see what Vulcan and Voss have to say.  :D
Some nights it's priceless...some nights zzz.

JAB you sound lonely. Those AOL chat rooms getting boring?

Of course, I only see what he posts here and what he does in the MA.  I know virtually nothing about the man.  I think its important for people to realize that we don't really know squat about each other.... definately not enough to use words like "hate".
