Wowsa! Did you breathe at all whIle writiNg that?
I give you extra points if you didn't! Otherwise it scores a flat "3"
-
Gadzooks!

hi blix :)
-
:O
Dang, didnt get to be the first to jump IN
I think you really need to slow down. That cant be good for those veins in your forehead.
-
Perhaps if you took the time to sandwich Y and an O around your lazy bellybutton U, some may take you seriously.
-
Octavious, if you "sandwich a Y and an O around that U," wouldnt you get a "YUO"?
Is "Yu-o" a similar expression to "Daaay-o", like in the song that goes "Daylight's comIN and I wanta go ho-ome"?
I sports there's an old saying that " the second guy gets the foul" becaue retaliations more likely to get noticed. That's another argument for the often difficult step of giving up on trying to educate jerks. (Not referring to anyone posting here). I had to learn from my 14 year old -- "Dad, jsut do like I do and turn off 200 -- some of those guys are jsut gunna get your blood up". NOt the last time I'll learn wisdom from my kids, I'm sure....

I like the way he goes from small case to upper case...like he's getting madder and madder as he types.
I'll give it a seven...no six...out of ten. The content kind of sucked.
-

The bigger text is so its louder and we can hear him better.
I give it a 5 because of the use of fingerpointing and names.

I never pm u ghi rest of u aswell whatever u say
there is a problem
and windx is at the top of the list
any of u from florida ill meet u anywhere
-
Alright! I move it up to a 8. He wants to fight any AHers that live in Florida! Woot! Virtual fight.
-
as usual make lite of the problem
guess htc dont care that haraasing assho les get away with all
kinds of stuff

Its their board. They can do what they want with it. Were lucky we can use it at all. You threaten to take away your $. Im sure theres plenty to fill in your spot. Follow the rules and you wont have to deal with such problems.

I don't think he is talking about the board.
I don't think I'd miss JohnnyWhaa and WindX if something unfortunate were to happen to their keyboard and vox.
:D
-
while this isnt the approach to take, i agree that some of the BS on 200 is inexcusable, and i dont see it stopping
-
I wasnt talking about the board.
-
Hmmm! Content I score a 6. Use of names takes some stones.
Subject matter a 1 turn off 200 if you do not want to get flamed.
Challenging Ah Florida residents to a arse whooping. Well that is a Mastercard Classic I'm buying my plane tickets right now. I want to meet the arse that would get so worked up over a $15.00 a month game that he would resort to violence. I just want to shake your hand Blix and take your picture for my Darwin Regression study:O

Thats just because you have a picture of them above your bedpost.:D
-
Well, Blix, imagine being a girl....
I just ask them to stop their language. If they dont, off the report goes. If they still dont..... .squelch.
Youll certainly make them more mad by NOT reacting then by anything you can *say*.
Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools because they have to say something.
It's better to be quiet at times and be called Dumb , than to open ones mouth and prove it.
System has lots of holes. Yes. Will always have lots of holes. Yes. Gotta live with it, or without it.
I dont get angry at those Ch200 warriors... I laugh my f**** butt off. (If it hasnt been *shot* off already).
Life is unfair and the Universe has a very wicked sense of humour.
-
Oct lives in Florida!!!! Not sure where...*cough* Naples *cough*.
I'll put a C-Note on Oct to win by knockout....but only if he is allowed to dry out for a month or two first.
-
Blix is right... about it all. The teeny bopper clan is one of the few reasons I just have no desire to play AH anymore.

Hitech--
I'm glad you came in and said something. I do have a question.
I understand that many details of the system need to be kept quiet for obvious reasons, but I think its fair to ask if there is a concrete detailed list of targeted behaviors that moderators use.
While theres no doubt that judgement will enter the equation, I'd hope that the moderators would have concrete rules (like the infamous BBS list) so there'd be a conceptual consistancy in what gets interventions and what doesnt.

As long as there are humans in the loop there will be bias and there lies the problem
This game has a wonderfull squelch system so when some knothead starts runnin his yap simply squelch his ares and be done with it.
-
I do have to admit than if WindX or JohnnRa get going ... there is no stopping them ... they fill CH 200 with constant BS and blather and I sit there and wonder how they don't get hammered by a moderator.
-
I also find that when I start to get pizzed I try to paint this mental picture.
Blonde buxum tanned with oliveoil all over her body!:O
Calmes me right down:eek:

The best thing I like about CH 200 is I can Tune it off. Kinda like the TV. If you don't like what you hear turn it off. If someone Needs to PM me I Start filming. Funny thing is there are sometimes 600 people in the MA at one time and its always the same people going on and on:aok

Mods were doing a great job tonight, i said f*ing tree! and rather than get muted, i was warned and i was able to explain how fstarring tree in england means 'happy tree' and how i was not swearing but simply making an observation. All joking aside i thought that was much better than a straight off mute and it gave me a lot more respect for the invisible mods.
I also think that a moderator imposed mute should bring up a system message, such as "SYSTEM: Furball has been muted for 60.0 minutes" so that people can see what i did wrong, and can differenciate between what is acceptable and unacceptable behaviour.
IMO people should get more warning before a mute - muting someone immediately without warning will just make them irate as per this following example: -

you think being harassed in aces high is bad try playing halo 2 on xbox live you have 10 year olds yelling cuase you shot them and they never stop yelling
-
LOL thats funny :rofl
-
Wonder if WindX is Scuby's brother from AirWarrior. Whoever used WindX in AirWarrior was a total jerk, non-stop bad mouthing of other folks. Guy started changing his cpid almost every week but never changed his email info. So if you suspected it was WindX doing the bad mouthing all you had to do was look at the roster and check his email hehe. Wasnt the sharpest tool in the shed for sure ;)
I stay off of 200. Think I tuned to 200 once when I heard someone wanted to talk to me.
-
Just checking IN and amazed this isn't locked yet.
Btw, Fartwinkle, she rubs olive oil on her body??? Sure it's not coconut oil? Oh well, at least olive oil is edible!:aok
-
Yo Blix....you made the veins on MY head pop. Honestly, I've tuned out 200 over the past two days and my gunnery has gone from lousy and elevated to cruddy. Seriously, detune 200 and squelch the ones you can hear in country, will do you a world of good.
P.S. Sorry, there is nothing I can do about Pipz singing on your squad channel.
-
Blixin, those guys you listed are indeed a bunch of tards...just squelch em and don’t worry about it. Some people are just jerks =\. People like that will always skirt the edge of what is acceptable, and no amount of policing will keep them under control.

That has always been the standard unless some one has become a problem child and warned/ muted multiple times previously.

Only time I was ever muted I got several warnings before I told the mod on Ch 1 to piss off.....then I got muted. I earned getting muted no question about that. :lol

INcredible story. True but INcredible! Some people get away with anythINg iIN the game and on these boards and never get so much as a warning. I made alittle joke once and got sent out to pasture.

What is channel 200? Heck I have a hard enough time following the country channel.
Whatever happened to channel 100? Didn't that used to be some arena-wide channel that got replaced by 200? Maybe it's time to implement channel 300 to replace 200.
Just like most NFL football games, the guy who does the reprisal is the guy who gets the flag.

having anonymous mods gives them no accountability to paying customers for their actions. if i cop gives you a ticket he signs his name to it. A secret police state is prime real estate for growing abuse, people paying deserve better than cloak and dagger treatment.
-
Ok first of all I don't harrass anyone , I make jokes to people I know on channel one, besides me whining about the Fw 190s and 109s I don't give a crappig monkeys shaved behind about when peopl shoot me down, which ussually happens in 3 to 1 odds and overmodeled aircraft. I never Private message anyone, and I've been muted plenty my friend. For defending myself as you do, and I've been called worse over vox including "racial slurs" LoL .So AGAIN You can sure call me a whiney luftpansy leather wearer but I don't harass anyone.
Thank you and Carry PWN! :lol
PS: In!!!

No accountability except for the logs that record every single thing. I'm guessing HTC knows who their mods are, and deal with problems as they arise.
There are certainly instances of abuse (or at least, there have been in the past), but they seem to be growing fewer. HT says they're working on the issue, and that's great. While I personally would like to see a lot more muting, on a regular basis, I would hardly describe it as a secret police state rife with abuse (while posting with a shades bbs account because I don't want anyone to know who I am ingame).
Glasses, you just type too damned much. You get muted because you never shut up. You're lucky I'm not a mod. :t
edited edit: holy flaky connection, batman!

rofl, Windx...
He probably has as many friends in real life as he does in AH... zero. What a tard, don't let him get to you, Blix.

Nice double post hub... with an edit too, woowoo!

Im just curious about some word usage.
I see fuggit and variations like that constantly.
For the first time ever I got into a discussion on 200 about the fact that those variations of the word (****) seem to be allowed as they are used constantly. As I was in this discussion I actually spelled out Fuggit as one example of what is used and I got warned. I did not use it towards anyone.
I see these misspelled swear words constantly and its obvious that those that use them are seldom muted or warned as they use them over and over.
So is it acceptable or not?
If not why are these words allowed 99% of the time ?

Nice quote Shatzi. Thanks
But my question is Why is this not stoppable? "I laugh my f**** butt off"
Isn’t there a Bad word filter?
And wouldn’t you just add anything to the dictionary that you would want recognized as faux foul language?
I think the stuff like “STFU” and “FK” and even strings could be added like screwyouyoufknphag and any other version could be noted and added the bad word dictionary. Why hasn’t it happened?
Is it not possible? I mean really..At first site of a String or Faux foul word take note of it and add it. I ignore most of it.. Last night I got a warning for dialog..not foul language.
And this cant be handled?

First of all....I've been playing this game many years and most of you know me. I realize this is a game first. It's a place I use to blow off steam and interact within the Community and with my Squaddies foremost. I don't let anyone get under myskin........because,
1.) I realize it's a game.
2.) I consider the source.
3.) I'll answer in a humorous way to the one who offends me personally without adding to the problem.
4.) There is no good reason that I can think of that I should sink to the level of the one who is acting like a child.
Blix is a good guy......friendly and always courteous to me. I've never been there to see him get upset, and I would think it would take a great deal to upset him in this way.
Please....a tip to those who get attacked. Ignore.......don't respond. It's not worth sinking to that level. And all should remember it's a game. Something we chose to do to have fun!
To those of you who launch personal attacks.....please go to WWIIOL
This of course is my view.....and not neccessarily the view of our Sponsors!
:rofl

Go for it. :aok
I'm well past my teens buddy boie. Though sometimes I wish I could go back, things were so much simpler back then. Both you and BBQBob, have always enjoyed the same sort of banter the BK's and myself enjoy, and for that we respect you. I trust you understand where I'm coming from when I say Teeny Bopper clan. The really funny part is JohnyRA isn't a teen at all. He's a 30 something who hasnt yet past puberty, and Windx is a teen who can't handle the stress that puberty can bring on. So they take it out on everyone/anyone around them. It just got old, so did the game along with their kind. Blix is far more of an asset to AH than I am. You should be talking to him rather than myself. I never said I quit anyways...

Thanks haj...i needed that.
I will always have trouble with the phrase "Its just a game"
The greifers use it as an excuse all the time. They will do all they can to get others stired up and then drop the catch phrase "Its just a game" It just rubs me wrong i guess.
It is a game...but to me not "Just" a game. Why..because there are people on the other side of that connection. But i guess i have trouble relating to the way todays youth communicate with each other these days. So RUDE it is.
Either way..thanks for the reminder.

No s*** jaxxo? I just moved down 3 weeks ago. I'm near a Sears and Albertsons on 60, a block from Cleveland. I like watching the scientologists mill about with there long strides and tidy uniforms downtown... a dianetics hospital is about 1/4 mile away, haha.

I agree with ya Blix on a large scale (except for posting here, it is a waste of time)... there are quite a few people that make it past the 'annoying stage' and become down right inflammatory and demeaning to anyone that doesn't agree with them. The problem is that the moderators are not active enough and (to MANY online) seem partial.
I'd suggest the mutes become public so the community can see the policing being done via a system message.
System: Teenager has been muted for foul language.
HTC needs to make an example out of the bad as well as the good characters in the game. Perhaps a 'Hall of Fame' for people who have contributed time and effort to make AH a better place by skinning, making maps, developing scenarios, etc.

The text filter is another part of the equation that's broken. The filter will not allow you to type "262's hit", as in, "That 262's hit.". However, "why don't u go plowk urself" flies right through. I know because I got muted for "262's hit", and received the latter statement via PM.
I fly in the evenings and late nights, and moderation is extremely lacking during these hours. Maybe more mods, and some adjustments to the filter would improve the situation.

Why don't they bring back 'country' chanell, and only have people on it who provide HTC with their real life info, and offer that info up to all others who will use that chanell.
No body gets in till info is verified by HTC.
One name per address.
Must be over 18, or with parental(address owner) permission waver.
Something along those lines. Will stop the jerks from bantering and would bring back country for those of us who only used it to say heya to friends on the dark side, or to someone.

I believe in being civil to people & if it weren't for the squelch function & the ability to turn off 200 I would get in the mud with a lot of these idiots. I think the mods are FAR from impartial & that irritates me as much as the infantile remarks made in the MA. I like a good fight & my mother threatened to beat me severly about the head & torso for avoiding one; so when the mods let certain people type WTFG & STFU & other dumb abbreviations but mute me for pointing out their obvious bias I get irritated. I like the game & Addink can fill my spot with any number of $15 kids, but what will happen when an alternative game becomes available that's as good or better than AH? People who are already tired of the same old terrains & the "uber" planes not being perked etc. adding to the frustration of having some punk say whatever they want to you & not get muted because A: they are friends of the mod or B: they just didn't say anything that bothered that particular mods sense of "political correctness" will leave en mass. I got muted for typing "studmuffin" in the squad channel while trying to relate something to a squad member of mine that asked me a question. I typed it in on our radio channel number because one of our squad says my mic is too loud. That word is not profanity, it just offended the person with mute power because of their warped sense of what's right & wrong. The system isn't perfect & nothing man made ever will be; but at least be fair. Is that too much to ask?
Sorry for rambling, it's late - I'm getting old - & I may be Bi-polar.:D
-
look... the mods do what they can when they're on. It's hard for HTC to make sure someone is on policing these teenie boppers... If not the mods policing then who? The 'other' players on line who dont want to deal with the crap some of the T-B Clan throws out? That only leads to more crap.
There are several choices for everyone. 1, you can deal with it and hope a mod shuts em up. 2, you can squelch them and or Ch200 and be done with it. Or you can just log off and play something else.
I've only had 1-2 run-ins with mods, all of which told me to basicly cool my jets and let whatever banter that was going on die. No big deal. I've been muted by the system more times than I could ever begin to add up. That's more anoying than a mod kindly telling me to put a sock in it... because it's usually over some word the system didnt like, like what jaxxo was refering to.
I'm not saying that the this stuff with the mods and their "unfair judgments" doesnt go on. I'm just saying, I am deffinatly no angle in game, and they've never given me problems that most of you are speaking of. Again, I do however agree with Blix that the Teenie Bopper Clan needs to be culled. I'd much rather they just go back to their Xbox period...

IMO people should get more warning before a mute

That has always been the standard unless some one has become a problem child and warned/ muted multiple times previously.
HiTech
=====================================================
Well, hmm. This I gotta respond to. I've been playin this game for over 4 years now and have seen just about everything there is to see. But I must admit, some of the Mods are a Joke. It's on a rare occasion that I've actually been a bad boy and said something on 200 that was worth a Mute and I get a warning. (And yes I do know the difference between a Automated warning and an Actual Mod intervention)
But at other times I've actually been making fun of my own handle SHawk
and typed *****Hawk and got a Immediate 10 min Mute.
Now, lets get real here. Is **** really all that bad?
I've seen spewing of way worse 4 letter words from peeps on 200 and on Vox and they go on for hours.
Anyhow I guess what I'm trying to say is, Be Consistent!!
No one likes to be singled out for an offense that others get away with on a daily basis.
I consider myself a fairly good judge of character and deal with all kinds of people in my own business everyday. Inconsistancy is not something anyone wants to put up with. Imagine employees that show up 3 days a week, yet gets promoted over a guy who shows up everyday and bust his hump to do a good job. He's likely gonna find another job.
If I was a Moderator, WindX would be banned for life. His constant blathering of BS is beyond ridiculous. He's here for one purpose, to cause trouble. If he lost CH200, he'd probably quit the game. Nuff Said.

PS... The reason so many are for .permasquelch . These four would be first on my list.

00Stang is a good guy...why are you throwin his name onto this?

well it's not very fair in my book.....
Some people are allowed to harrass, make 'personal' jokes and insults.... all over the place....not just on 200 .. but on these boards too.....
It's a double standard.... or maybe just a WASP standard.
All people want is for you to be consistant HTC....... You let some things slide while others personally insult people, and make jokes......well if they can make jokes why can't others make jokes back?
I guess gender bashing, gay bashing, ethnic/country bashing etc etc is all fine unless you make fun of rednecks?
I just hope you don't hold any illusions that this is fair.
================================
here's a good example: http://www.hitechcreations.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=170925
Replace 'gay'/'transgendered' with Black... replace 'studmuffin' with '******'..... If it's not acceptable then ... why is it accptable as such?
I wonder if which of these words will even get muted '******'? FYI that was the 'N' word, wouldn't you agree they are both hateful terms?
Shooting at New Bedford, Mass., gay bar investigated as hate crime
http://www.canada.com/topics/news/world/story.html?id=91d50972-30fb-4254-a7df-8b9e3fc7c93d&k=95389
So when is the last time there was a hatecrime like this aginst Blacks?.... I'd think you would agree such terms as used in similar respects are unacceptable....... heance the '******' N word. But apperantly 'studmuffin' is just fine.
A simple point, and there are pleanty more.

No, it's a great example of what they allow while not allowing other things.
What if I responded by calling him basicly......a hateful, ignorant redneck?
Also... it's good because it is recent.

WOW....gettINg up and readINg the origINal post made my head hurt.
I am not sure of how the "report text" "report vox" works. Have I used it?
Yep....
Has anything been done about it?....dunno but I have to believe that HTC does take a look at the information and does take some sort of action.

OK first of all when have i ever harassed you? I dont usaually start anything unless someone starts with me, then i'll just dcefend myself, and without swering. I like most have gotten upset withthe game at a time or another and comment on a Ho or caled someone a non skilled vulcher....lol but beyond that ...i dont think so. I've had the PM's from people giving me hell, and i have the screenshots saved to show it on the PM channel. On e thing i learned in the Navy...cover your own prettythang. As far as me "constantly harassing people" next time i "harass" you point it out...if i started it i'll be sure to apologize. If i didint start it... well then turn the mirror on yourself before you whine about it.
Now, i do JOKE with a few people on 200..... those i fly against often and throw FRIENDLY jabs at, so if you see it and it's not directed at you.... shut up unless you know what you are talking about, cause it could all be in fun.
I've received 1 PM warning my whole time on the game and that was yesterday from twinboom, who was the one PM'ing me with profanity, i just responded on 200, and screenshot his pm for HTC. Any other complaints.... the complaint department is out in the outhouse. 8-)

Couple points to make here.
Not sure how many mod's HTC has, (yeah I know he said he's adding some which I applaud Kudos 2 U sir!) but I doubt they have mods in all three countries, at all times of the day. So the reason why you will only see people moderated sometimes, and yet not others, is probably coverage.
Also, one has to take intent into consideration. I know in the past, totally in friendly banter, I have said terrible things about, say, XtrmeJ. I would say some pretty horribly insulting things about XJ, and vs. versa. But was 100% in jest on both sides. Was all in fun. Had somebody else said those same things to me, I would have been horribly insulted. CONTEXT is the key here. I am sure that some players get away with saying some stuff because of the WAY they are saying it. I can tell my ex wife "I love you" and make it mean "I hope you die" (might I add she's a fat pig here...). Also, I can say "I hope you die" (to ma'h current chick) and if I say it a certain way, mean "I love you". It's all in HOW it's done. The context of the statment. I once had a looooong multi hour convo w/ a player who was going on and on about how some players get away with saying things while others don't. It's not what they say, but how they say it IMHO.
I'm not sure how I feel about moderating things like STFU or WTFG. YES I know they usin' Fbombs, but they have almost become "acceptable" in popular culture. I need to meditate on that one, as I am 100% guilty of WTFG all the time.
(I had more, but ma'h chick just showed up bringing me lunch, and I wanna tell her how much I hope she dies)

I agree with Blixen for the most part, I think just about everyone in here has had problems with those two goofs in the past. There is only a handful of people in the community that seem to be pizzing off everybody else, and it seems to happen on a very regular basis, and it seems to be the SAME people over and over again. Personally I could care less about them, I'm not going to fill out any reports or anything, I'm just gonna squelch it and go on my way, if they want to PM me with cuss words and threats go for it, i think its funny lol But that's just my opinion on it. I've had the opportunity to fly with Blixen and against him many many times and have never seen him be a bad sport in any way. Now after reading this thread I have seen numerous reply's about the two guys Blixen has been complaining about and it doesn't seem to be just Blixen. If they can't play this game without making 70% of the people that play it upset, then maybe they shouldn't be allowed to play....Its ok to go on 200 and talk some smack dont get me wrong that's what it's there for. But if you are saying something that is obviously making another player mad, then STFU... For example, look at the way Ruaml and I talk to eachother on 200, we say all kinds of stuff to eachother, but we both know we're just messing around, I couldn't say half the stuff to another person because they would think i'm serious. Kinda like WMLute was saying, sometimes things get taken out of context, and everyone has different tolerance levels. What 1 person thinks is funny could make someone else upset, like cussing for example. I could personally care less about them, but someone else could have 15 young children sitting around watching them and they don't want them to here all that... Its all about context
-
ok ok ok, i know that i'm a trouble maker on channel 200, i talk smack on there but i never go to the point that i feel that it could really upset someone, everything i say is all in fun and should never b taken seriously. there have been a time or two when certain ppl have said things that kinda got to me and were quickly taken care of whether they got muted or whatever. i have been muted myself. i just want to apologize to anyone that i might offend or make mad cuz of the stuff i say on channel 200, and i promise that i will never ever ever call anyone a poopyhead or turdknocker on channel 200 again :D

In all seriousness Bear69 does not belong on the list that Blixen first put up. Jaxxo should be on that list instead. :aok

Actually rule #5...but whos looking anyway?
Like iceman says. I too will de-tune 200 most of the time. But then i will tune it to have a few nice words with an opponent after a fun fight. I chance leaving it tuned for a bit, and low and behold. Another creep is running his flipping mouth again. OK back to de-tune mode. I would love to be able to monitor the decent things on ch200. As there is plenty of decent chat on 200. But it is always laced with the Jerk off that is ever present. HTC tells me to just squelch them. Im telling HTC i would love to have a permasquelch list so i don’t have to go through the list at every login. It really is getting very very old. It is yet another element that is sucking the fun outa the game. There is no possible way to have your cake and eat it too with the current setup. And i am certain that it would be easy to fix so ALL types of people can enjoy it their way.

bear just because im using blixen on the board doesnt mean im using that cpid in the game
i deleted blixen do to mods and certain players harrasing
and yes bear69 u did harass me after i asked u not to converse with me
u kept up ur insulting banter therefore i got pissed
ty ht for responding and i applaud ur efforts in this matter
i feel i shouldnt have to turn 200 off cuz of these idiots
cuz im friends with serveral players from different countries
and i should be able to converse with out these trouble makers
harrassing me and fellow country , and game players

Well it's obvious to most people when two are poking fun at one another. And it should also be just as obvious that mods aren't on 24-7. But, that being said; some people are way too touchy about some things that bother them personally & they have mute powers. I myself don't like being called a cracker...but I got muted for asking the "person" who called me a redneck cracker if they were a ******; I bet the "person" who made the racial slur to me didn't get muted. I don't see people getting muted for calling others wops or kikes or beaners etc. It appears to me from my comp. screen that double standards & personality flaws rule instead of set in stone verbal rules which are what should be enforced exclusively.....IMO. I love the squelch function & now that I see the mods use personal feelings to guide them instead of written rules...I just squelch anyone who even begins to start spouting garbage....profanity or political or otherwise.
EDIT: See? Can't even say the big bad "N" word or the net nanny gets you...but all the rest are ok even though it wasn't directed at anyone & only used as a relevant descriptive. And that sort of stuff gets under my skin the same way things I say apparently get under other peoples skin. I may be a WOP & I may be a REDNECK...but the difference is the general public doesn't care if I get insulted. Politcal correctness is ignorance with a smile & a feeling of false superiority.
-
EEWWW Betty you are such a trouble maker ewe ewe.
Oh look I just called you a girl sheep LOL. This is so satisfying. I feel like a big burdon has been lifted off my shoulders. Some how I have this deep sense of satisfaction and vindication knowing I insulted an assumed Identity in a cyber world. Wow I should do this more often. I know next time someone collides with me in the MA. I will go on channel 200 and call them rude names and insult their intelligence and lineage. Maybe say rude things about their mother. Then I can feel vindicated just like now when I called Betty a Ewe.:O I feel so good now. Thanks Betty You have always been there for me and I appreciate it. Your such a good Cyber friend!:rofl
I know lets all go on 200 say rude stuff about everyone and we all get muted and then no one will have to worry about it anymore, Then my boss can pay me for getting some real work done as opposed to me answering this thread evey hour.:D

We have the mute power Bren....Its just that we have to re-do it every session...even after host connection lost or re-login for the 4 times we lose vox in a 3 hr session during heavy arena usage. And who is anyone else to tell anyone that they "are way too touchy about some things that bother them personally "? It should be our own choice. That’s why we have/are requesting a Permasquelch list. :)

all this talk about the mods...
i used to know one in AH, a year ago, but i don't know if he even plays anymore. we discussed it, and i have to say WOW it is a hard job. you basically can't fly for fun, because in the middle fo a dogfight you may have to stop, log the offense, do the moderation, and make sure you document it.
imagine even trying to have a simbalance of "fun" while having[/I] to read everything[/I] on CH200 and country channel and room channel.... you get the idea. i do not envy that at all, and actually feel bad for them. imagine they are really having a good time, and they have to stop / get shot down for having to MOD someone? they are only human, and i bet i'd get PO'd major if some moran got rude on CH200 and ruined my fun.
i don't know how many there are, but i can imagine, there would need to be at least 5 per country minium, to try and hope one is online at all times at least. preferablly 2 or more on at one time. does HTC have that many players they can trust? are there that many honestly willing to do that job?
i say if they miss something, screenshot it, and email HTC, and make sure to use the "report" system in game.

The Key here is "I"
Why does anyone presume to think that his or her personal interpretation of what is offensive should be a global opinion? What one feels is fine...another may find offensive. Yes we are actually "People" on the other end of that connection. And people are very different. Especially me. Cept i think they were being facetious when they said that at the hospital:noid

Why ask any human to stop having fun? Why not keep working on a system to make moderation a personal (Auto) (Permanent)preference like some have suggested? One that can be edited by each player.
PS....don’t anyone bother explaining how HTC may be teaching us to cope in a multi cultural multi lingual multi philosophical society. Save it!.
Remember "Its just a game" as so many are eager to point out just after going out of their way to incite another player ;)

I can see why people want the perma-squelch option Mugzee; I can also see why HT doesn't want to implement it. I also agree with Mustaine that being a mod would be a royal pain. But...I'm sure they aren't "assigned" that duty, it's an ego trip that's being fulfilled for some of them. I care less now about who does/says what than I did as late as last week. After having a five or ten minute conversation with Lute it became clear that no matter how little sense someones position makes to you...it's the same for them. You can type & type & still not be able to make your point without sounding extreme because we as humans process body language in our communication with each other as well as the words that are said/printed.
I realize it takes all types of people to make the world go round & my opinions are no more or less valid than anyone elses. As long as I pay for a service & that service is provided & I have the ability to ignore as well as erase the offending words from my computer it's all good. I don't become what I term as angry over any of this or the MA But I do get a little irritated with it from time to time. I just have little patience for people who have no common sense when they have a position of *slight* power entrusted to them & let it go to their head. I'm quite certain 90% or more of the people who are mods in the MA use their position very infrequently & even then with reservations. I have nothing against any of them & wish them all the best of luck in their hopeless endeavor.
Salutes all around - even to the ones who vehemently disagree with my opinion....no hard feelings at all on my end.

This is the part that interest me the most. What is your take on the Why part?

HT has a difficult job in bringing the most enjoyment to largest number of people to keep sales up. If they allow a permasquelch to take the place of a human rule enforcer, people will find ways to subvert this & continue to annoy people. I can imagine the administrators of Aces High would get annoyed by having to change programming because of a few unruly people. Does that clarify my "I understand HT's position" statement? I am much more PRO-moderator than my written words indicate, I just don't like to see abuse no matter the format the abuse is submitted in.
I include this only as a side note----> When I had desktop speakers instead of headphones for a few months when I first started playing, I had a squaddie who let off strings of profanity that would put off a sailor anytime something went other than positive for him. I couldn't squelch him without some explanation & I didn't want to make him angry at me as he's usually a great guy & I like him. Besides; there are plenty of others who spray the range channel with language just as bad; by then the damage is done. As long as no one P.M.'s me with personal threats I won't report anyone...the current squelch function is enough for me.
( I finally got headphones when my youngest daughter was having a sleep over with some of the girls she goes to church with & someone let loose while one of the girls mothers was in the house dropping off her child....yikes. )

My insulting banter? you're a joke. I sent your PM to HT and we'll see whats said after that, all i did was comment on your exceptional ramming skill and go whine to someone else if you've got issues with me saying your NAME on 200, you then cal me a flat top haircurt POS? Get off your high horse and get a life. I dont have problems with anyone around here, aparently you just like looking for trouble.

Moderators are players. They volunteer to help moderate. If they are in the middle of a good fight and miss something, no one here will complain about it.
Also keep in mind they are not always around. Of course, if we did not need moderators, this would all be a moot point.

(I had more, but ma'h chick just showed up bringing me lunch, and I wanna tell her how much I hope she dies)
You are most correct here WMLute about the WTFG and at work it is more than acceptable and it's common place to say "Way to Frigging Go". So WTFG doesn't always carry the "Fbomb". The intent is probably still there but being in polite company it is acceptable and common in my neck of the woods.
All the Best...

How is it possible to have a long pm flame war? I guess the emotion runs so high that people forget about the squelch command. I wonder how many players don't even know it exists? Perhaps far more than we might imagine.
The Message of the Day (motd) might be the most underused, but potentially helpful feature in AH. Just think of the possiblities - welcoming new account holders, dot command tips, event reminders, keyboard command tips, etc.
I don't know the reasons HTC is against a permanent squelch list feature. I won't try to read their minds, but my instinct tells me that not one customer would complain about having the option available.
