Yup. because the mute was unwarranted. If HT disagrees....

Standing rule for mods is mute anyone who tries argue a warning.
IE You deserved the mute.

But now. Got into a discussion on 200 about how bombing and bailing was bad for the game (HT this was 20min ago check the log) and got warned by an OP, then muted when I reiterated my issues with it.
The guy said he was muted for discussing the issues with bombing and bailing. Hardly mutable material. You guys did notice that part of his message right?

You were warned yet you still felt compelled to repeat yourself to test it? And then you came to the forum for the public spectacle?

I think Arlo may be a mod, just a hunch lol
Someone as out spoken as Arlo would make a lousy moderator. I choose mods from players who have shown to be level headed over a long period of time.

I’ve never had an issue with a moderator and give them a -{S}- for their work.
Imagine the game without them.
You just got burned Arlo! :rofl

Hitech can be very black & white at times, but we like that about him.
LOL.... well truth be told, few of us would make good Mods.

Done it before, not in AH, it's a lousy job. Overly active = whines, inactive = whine, pro active = whine..
Better to not be a mod and just call people out for being dicks. :old:
Does this sound like a whine to anyone else? :devil

Lol. Imagine getting muted for arguing. Lol. In a game where the average is 65. Lol
Average what?Age

He was muted for arguing the warning. He was warned and continued.

There seems to be a parallel between this post and recent events...
When someone in authority says to do something... don't argue and
do what your told :aok

The misdirection here is epic.
Was the warning warranted?

Of course you wouldn't.
it's common knowledge that you will get muted if you confront a mod. now if you feel the warning is unwarranted contact hitech and bring it to his attention. hitech will take care of it if it's wrong.

I’ve never worried about who the moderators are, nor have I worried about being muted. I treat everyone ingame when I talk with respect. Give them respect like you’d want it. Same goes for forums. Not rocket science, just common sense. :salute
I've been here since Beta in late 1999 ..... Never been muted kicked banned or even warned.
I suspect Moly was most likely reported, don't know of course. For me personally certain vulgar words are unacceptable in the game, as they are in public discourse. If you wouldn't use the word in front of your Mother, Daughter or grand daughter, then don't use it here. It has nothing to do with "rights" or "free speech", its called common courtesy.
I am free on Wednesday if you would like to book in a quick muted/banned training session Mayhem. Basic whine briefing and profanity refresher is included free with every booking.:aok :rofl
Lol. Imagine getting muted for arguing. Lol. In a game where the average is 65. Lol
Vink, a channel 200 non-productive whine fest over something Moly had no solution for is a disruption to the game. Moly got warned. Moly got muted when he made it very clear that he was going to persist.
If Moly doesn't like flying with a sock in his mouth then Moly needs to be less disruptive.
I'd agree if that was the case. Moly's version of events is hardly disruptive to the game. Given that arguing with mod get's you kicked, Moly's REAL question is why was he warned for saying what he said.
...so far there are no ligit answers. So his conclusion that he was targeted unfairly has still not been addressed. :salute
So, does that mean it’ll get addressed on the BBS? Or, perhaps he could call HT directly and address it, if he hasn’t already done that. Pretty sure it’s not going to get resolved here.
The board is for discussion. We're discussing. Resolution may be for a higher power, but that shouldn't shut down a discussion topic. :salute
...Posting on 200 continuously about your opinion of the practice of 'bomb and bail' can be disruptive. It is within the purview of the moderator to determine when something is disruptive. Moly was given a warning.
And ... on top of that, let's talk about bomb and bail:
Continuously is an interesting term that is too vague to be able to address. People complain about all manner of game play on 200 without getting warnings. The only insta-Warning i'm aware of is "hacking-cheating". Even general comments should be off limits. Everyone knows you should film it submit it. But Bomb and bail is "Disruptive" worthy of an auto-warning? How about comments about running, vulching, ho-ing, sneaking, bomb****ing, picking, alt-monkeying, ganging? General comments about game play styles hardly seem "disruptive" in AH, or mutable as a rule.
Abusive language directed at an individual are, of course. but I see no evidence Moly was abusive to a player.
Nah everyone agrees with you. Except Moly...but I hope that wasn;t why he was muted . :eek:
Then his second mistake was to bring it to the boards instead of dropping Hitech an email asking for clarification.
I don;t think bringing this to the boards is a mistake because it raises awareness about what standard are being enforced. :salute
And that's where your thinking goes off kilter.
It went off kilter way before then.. :)
I don;t think bringing this to the boards is a mistake because it raises awareness about what standard are being enforced. :salute
Is there nowhere that it says, "Arguing with a mod on public channel ingame is an instant mute" other than in these threads? There should be.
Beyond that, at the end of the day depending on how long Moly was on about it on 200, it might fall under the "don't be a dick on channel" common sense clause. But, we all know some people need the line drawn explicitly in sharpie, crayon, and highlighter before they consider the rule properly explained.

No... absolutely wrong. While the original warning may have not been completely correct, he was muted for the correct reason.
I say the original warning was very correct. Moly was parading an issue that served no good purpose and was only ch. 200 noise. Not really any different than the time I created a 'gobble gobble' macro and drunkenly used it on thanksgiving (it may have been mildly amusing the first half dozen times but after that I was muted, understandably, and I played on in amused silence). Did Barney 'nip it in the bud' a little too quick? Meh. Sooner the better, probably. :aok

Don't disagree, But he says he wasn't. So where is the original 200 conversation, and what does it show? So we can all learn. :salute

What do you need to learn here? :old:

Great! Glad we got that sorted.

I'll bet you a pancake it isn't.
Lets go with a store bought frozen one.
I’ll heat it up for you though :x
That does it, chicken and waffles for lunch. Also Eggo waffles are great.
Eggo vaguely waffle shaped objects are something to eat, but they don't compare to from scratch waffles or pancakes.
Wiley.
Try honey on waffles, the eating kind, or pancakes. YUM!!
Not to get personal or give Mrs. Waffle any ideas, I’ll leave that to Waffle himself :bolt:
Bacon Pancakes.
Win/Win!
