Perm squelch list .. PM whiners are to many these days.
-
Amen to that. We got the Join requests fixed so it stays the way you want it, a permanent squelch list would be great too.
-
PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I listened to one guy this morning just CUSS and all sorts of stuff. Squelched him , but MAN its a pain to do it EVERY TIME YOU LOG ON.
-
Yup - perma-squelch is most needed.
-
would like a Perm squelch list option also
-
Agreed, some cracker named Tex is forever PMing me talking crap when he kills me, and then logs after i spank him. when he logs he goes off my squelch list it seems. then he's back running his foul little mouth again.
-
I would use it.

Absolutely no reason to not give us a permanent squelch list. Some folks deserve to be on a permanent squelch list. HiTech has stated before that he doesnt believe a permanent squelch list is good for the community. Well Mr. HiTech, there are many people who bask in the anonymity of the Internet and feel that that very same anonymity gives them the right to speak, type, be abusive in whatever way they wish. It's THOSE people that would be on my permanent squelch list, not the players that respect others.
All that is required for a permanent squelch list is to add a file, and have everyone you squelch go to that same file and have the file load when you start up the game. Simple and shouldnt take to much of your valuable time.

A few years back I cancelled my account here because of this very subject. HT was adamant at that time that permanent squelches would never happen. So I decided to take my pennies elsewhere. Fortunately he relented and we now see the main channel being squelched by default (bravo for that HT!) So I was happy to return.
There are out of game options that will work for the remaining need to squelch individual players though. I use a programable keyboard device (Belkin N52) and just have a macro written that is bound to a specific key. When I log in, I hit that key and it runs the squelches I've got programmed. Works like a charm and saves me having to type it in every time.
Its certainly more combersome than an ingame solution would be. And I do agree fully that a full suite of persistent squelch options should be offered. However, there are other options. Fortunately I haven't had to perma-squelch anyone since returning. Having channel 1 perma-squelched now by default makes a world of difference right there. It works great for squelching 6 when I log in though. I'll just add the individual players into the macro as needed.

Nice Necro-bump, so IN! for that
What is also still relevent is the fact that names get recycled. So while we are all looking forward to perma-squelching Midway :neener: what happens down the road when he changes his name, finally moves on, or someone shoots him for real :devil His name will get released back into the "available" file and a new guy comes in and nobody talks to him because he choose the name "Midway".
It's bad enough HTC has to waste time resetting the score tables, and updating the web page with those that are best at tweaking their scores :eek: Now you want to add clearing a squelch list from every players at the end of the month too? Give it up, just squelch the one that annoy you. If you have so many that bother you so often, then maybe "they" aren't the problem :bolt:

It's not so much that there are so many, it's that there are certain ones that have never done anything other than spew vitriol or political BS all over every channel they infect. There are people in game I am very comfortable with saying the signal to noise ratio is 1:100 at best. Other than the recycling of names, what would be so horrible about the squelch list being persistent?

The way I see it is if my enemy is not happy that means I'm doing my job. So if someone PMs me and says something on 200 I'm happy. :aok
-
I want this. I hate having to squelch the same few people everytime i log or disco.
I know this doesnt help build the AH community, but still...
I am sick of the tweets for attention, the controversial crap that people bring up just for the sake arguing etc..

Da da da da da Batman!

I haven't squelched anyone, and sadly the only person to squelch me was Skuzzy for talking political smack on the boards. Twice was enough. I'm saving up the 'third times a charm' for deep into the Presidential election season. Just getting ahead of the curve Skuzzy...
Warmest and with love,
Boo

both skuzzy and hitech have said no way too many times. not sure why you keep asking for it.

Hmm Tex? Tex as in Texas, Texas as in Dallas? :noid Also quite funny that a nercobump gets more responses that original post that is 6 years old

Cause if you keep asking mom and dad for that new bike, eventually, they'll get it for you just to shut you up.

Meh.
Squelch is for weaksauce minds.
Is it so hard to just mentally filter it all out?

Early in Abraham Licoln's public life, he was walking with a friend when another person on the street started to insult and harangue him, for his stand on a paticicular issue of the day. He didn't respond at all.
When they were further down the road his friend turned and asked Lincoln why he hadn't yelled back.
Lincoln turned to his friend and asked him, "If you're walking by a field and a love muffin brays at you, do you bray back?"
Just something I remember form a book I read.
I've only used the squelch once since I came online in January of this year. If someone squeakes at me, I just ignore them. :old:

I see there are certain words taht will not show up if typed. I didn't know that. I guess I should have used the word mule. :old:
