Just had a new thought. The Jerk Multiplier.
« on: September 04, 2003, 11:21:57 AM »
Basic concept would be that every time some one uses profanity or abusive behavior,or whines. A multiplier is lowered. This multiplier is applied to the jerk's planes hardness, thus lowering it.

It recovers over a period of time where that person playes nice with others. Or posibly by helping out new players.

No idea how I could monitor the behavior.

Wow, the wind resistance would damage Shane's plane.

Gosh, HiTech...with some players, their foot would go right through the wing the moment they tried to climb into the cockpit!  The joystick would snap off in their hand with the first tug.  Heck, with some folks, their planes would catch fire and crumble to dust the instant someone looked sideways at it!  I LIKE IT!!!:D

That would make guys think twice before they go off on channel 1. It would be cool feature though.

Could add an icon to the clipboard, like a shovel.  The more shovels the softer you get.  Once you hit 5 shovels, your plane is a hydrogen filled blimp.  :)

Ehh, why not just auto-disco/boot players for say a day or 2 if they try to use bad words several times instead of just the warning?

When you sign up for AH, the handle in MA could also be followed in here so you could boot players in MA if they constantly talk crap/whine etc on the bbs adn do not take notice to warnings... would be easyer to monitor if handles are same

I dunno, just my 500$ worth
