Not going to say it was for no reason but minor infringement that could have been easily corrected and even apologized for by giving a warning.
This is no XBox game..I know what goes on there. The majority of the Customers, friends and countrymen on each side are not children to be toyed with by over bearing PTA member moderator's.
We understand the rules and the reasons and act accordingly. Belligerent repeat offenders should get the boot.
My offense... a chopped up and missing most letter- finish the sentence type word I used to describing the power of a cookie dropped on a CV.
Was put on a 10 minute time out and on return voiced my displeasure with the PTA comment above and received another 10 minutes.
It's not the way to keep good customers.
I'm a man not a child and a simple warning would have quickly rectified the situation...... and been Appreciated. Now I feel differently about that moderator and the negative thoughts provoked in me by his actions. It reflects directly on the enjoyment of the game not to be treated like a decent paying customer and a man.

These guys who can't deal with being muted seem like disgruntled ex-employee/stalks his ex girlfriend types. Creepy.
-
How are all you babies crying about 10 minute mutes.... I get muted for a week and you don't see me making threads about it...
-
Isn't this the 3rd in game mute thread this week?
Yeesh guys, chill out.
-
ACES HIGH WORKS LIKE THIS. DON'T USE THE WORDS, DON'T GET MUTED. HAVE RESPECT FOR OTHER'S, AND BE RESPECTED.
-
I know one player who lets his 10 year old son use his account...I can never tell who's on until I hear his voice or his squeeker's voice on range...lol
And another player who often has his 6 year old son sitting on his knee when he is flying. These are good things.
I am not offended by profanity and I can go into a profanity laced tirade that my wife hears in the next room when I'm shot down, but I do it with my mic off or on a private vox like TeamSpeak.
Future generations of AH players will come from the PG rated crowd. In fact, they're already here.

Be nice to each other really. Worse things can happen

You probably got muted on the BBS as well...
-
Cry babies gonna cry.....grow up. You said you're a man, take the well published result of your stupidity like one then.
-
This spate of threads about moderators gives me hope. AH is too coarse as it is. Well done Mods <S>

You DID have that one coming if it was on one from the DA a few months ago... :rofl

In other words, an attempt at masked vulgarity?
Given the fact you posted in Mendo's thread did you not read the numerous suggestions that complaints such as yours should be directed to HTC?
-
So you got a 10-minute mute, then immediately got another 10-minute mute because you didn't learn your lesson and "didn't get a warning". Seems to me the first 10-minute mute was a pretty good warning to behave yourself.
-
I see Kodiac and I do the same thing. I too have my moments but I keep it to myself just by not hitting the mike button and not typing while I'm mad.
I would be willing to bet that less than one in a thousand mutes are undeserved.
Most of those mutes go unnoticed because the "Mutee" has the good sense to not come here and post about it. Frankly I think we all know that whatever the Mutee posts won't be the whole truth and it will end badly.
Squads and squadmates. Take some responsibility and help your squad mates out when they are out of control by calming them down and diffusing the situation. You owe it to each other and you owe it to the game which is a privilege to play.
-
You got muted for the following:
FNT00L :200 :Thay are m f er's
Dropping an F-bomb, regardless of how it is masked, will get you an instant mute from a moderator. That directive comes directly for HTC.
After the first ten minute mute, you came back with:
FNT00L :200 :Moderators got to stop being nosey PTA members
FNT00L :200 :Power hungy idiots... you hear me moderator!
The moderators are instructed to also instantly mute anyone who attempts to confront them. Tis directive also comes from HTC.
The moderators acted appropriately.
By the way, your game ID is pushing the boundaries as well.
One more time. Things like this are best addressed directly to HiTech Creations. That is the proper recourse, if you believe you have an issue with any player in the game.
-
At this point, I would like to refer to AKAKs post in this thread ;)
-
The moderators seem to be taking the task of making AH a PG environment more seriously of late. If this indicates plans to actually market and increase the customer base, I am tacitly for it, even though I could give a flip what people type in the text buffer. :aok

See Rule #6

SKuzzy - why not do the above with all of these types of threads. Every time somebody comes along with an in game mod complaint, and a fictionalized version of events, cut/paste the actual text like the post a few above this, and end all speculation immediately. I have a feeling such a policy would end these types of threads, and if not, at least the OP would look instantly foolish, and we could all laugh more.

Absolutely agree.
-
Small infraction, small consequence. All is well.
Is there ever a one of these mute threads where it turns out it was a power crazy mod drunk on the power of handing out mutes? It seems every time when the facts come out is was just a guy breaking the rules and getting a slap on the wrist by a mod following protocol.

That is exactly what we have been doing, for quite some time now.

As an FYI. The moderators are the most heavily watched players in the game. They cannot act without being scrutinized for it, by HTC. It really is a pain-in-the-butt to be a moderator.

He actually has done that a lot in the recent past. I instantly remember several of these threads.
Unfortunately it will hardly discourage the delusional ("I have never &§%§&/§ sweared my whole &/%$&& life, you §T&$/$&%") ;)

I think his choice of handle's is unacceptable. Looks like it a very recent change too. I was wondering last night how this guy was................."sigh".
-

And I think it's the best way to deal with it. It may not discourage the delusional but it also doesn't give them ammo about stuff being covered up.

Skuzzy,
Please accept this post as my official application to become a moderator.
Thank you for your consideration lol
Changeup
(Edit: this is intended to be ironically humorous)

So how do these moderator-players get this task? Do you recruit them or do they volunteer?

I'd imagine it was something far ruder :lol

My initial thought is that someone who actively wants to become a moderator may not be a great choice.
-

It doesn't happen in all of them, or even in most. It didn't happen in the recent Mendo thread, or the last 2 large threads with the same subject. I too have seen it done by HTC in some past similar posts, what I'm saying is it should be done, immediately by HTC, in ALL of them as a policy. The Mendo thread would have been over page one instead of page 12, with 11 pages of ridiculous arguing, banter, and in before the locks, all for nothing.
-
The Mendo thread was started after business hours and was over 5 pages long before the office opened. The Mendo thread was a voice issue, not a text issue.
Mendo also acknowledged he dropped the f-bombs, before we got into the office.
Our policy has been to reveal whatever happened in these types of threads. The Mendo thread was no exception.
Please drop the back seat moderation discussion.

Edit: lol, Skuzzy beat me to it... Vox issue...

I can't help but think that ch 200 is the fertilizer to the vociferate seed we all have to some extent or another.
Some just have bad dirt to make it worse.

Meanwhile, the offenders are hoisted high within the community by a silent majority.

Don't get me wrong - I wouldn't want that job. I am just curious.

You my friend, are a Real Man of Genius. :cheers: The same applies to anyone actively wanting ANY position of power-politician, policeman, TSA groper. We should probably choose them the same way we choose jurors or something.

I've often had the same though. 'Oh no, I've been picked to be world president for six months' :banana:

Normally, I would insert a joke here about the situation, but I am no longer allowed to be funny with Trainer tags (according to some players).
