Title: Muted for a crap reason. Bye.
Post by: ddoug on April 16, 2008, 11:01:27 PM
OK mods....

I typed "blah blah fluff'n whatever" and a mod chastised me for typing "fluff'n".  I don't mean i typed f****n*, literally it was eff apostrophe enn.  And I got muted for 60 minutes.  Over a non-swear.  lol, I admit I said something about the mod being in bible school....but still, mods should let crap like that go.

Mod that muted me - I'm gone from this game.  Your ultra melontery cost HiTech money.  Not a lot, but standard business theory says it will cost HiTech at least twice as much to get another customer.  Make that four times as much, I had two accounts.

So it's good to type things like ghey, sweetheart, a**hole?  I've seen plenty of that..and far worse...and I've seen it repeatedly.  I take the step to type "fluff'n" instead of "f*ckin" or "butterin" but that's not OK by some mod on a power trip.  But typing sweetheart/butt/salamander/ghey/gay/a<censsored>hole is all-righty fine.  Or any sexual innuendo that comes across country.  Or most generic "potty mouth" speak.  Heh - where is your Mod now?

That's a bunch of fertilizer.  Ya know, feces.  Bovine excrement.  Smelly crap in a field that makes plants grow.  Were those bad words?  Ain't a one on the FCC list but you sure as <Haydes> know what I mean.

I quit your silly game.

Dear Mods:  Get over yourselves.  If you get a <viagra induced symptom> when you mute someone, well, I applaud the fact you can get <a viagra induced symptom>.  I'm honestly sick of the <bovine created fertilizer> you pull when I am an effin (oh oh!!!!!) paying customer.

I should be garteful.  The WORLD should be grateful.  You <effeminate> mods made me decide to stop wasting my time here.  I normally spend about 5 hours per week helping out my local humane society.  Without this game I will probably spend 20 hours per week or more.  And ya know what?  I'm going to donate $14.95 x 2 (ddoug and ddoug2 accounts) each month to the Humane Society.  HiTech - this is all because I think your mods are <rectums> and I'm not going to put up with it.  I am not addicted to your silly overrated cartoon war game.  The people playing the game are great.  The game itself, not so much.

I have sent Skuzzy an e-mail requesting my accounts get killed at the end of the billing cycle.

To everyone Rook Bish Nit, <S>.  Bye.  Had some good times and some great laughs. 

LCA...sorry guys, I will not put up with this <horse excrement> ever again.

You choose what you type.  It's not like you don't have a second to think first.  Mods shouldn't have to say or do anything as we ought to be in control of our virtual mouths as we type.

Trying to blame someone else for your lack of control is just silly

We actually have a poster at work that describes how a disgruntled customer ends up costing MUCH more than that. By the time they leave, spread their unhappiness through word of mouth and cause other customers to question their loyalty, or "discover" how they too have been "wronged" and didn't previously know it, and to cause other potential customers to take their business elsewhere to begin with.  The figures are crazy, and are likely inflated so we the employees take customer happiness more seriously- but show something like one disgruntled customer causing the loss of potentially 48 other customers.

Just thought I'd throw that in since it's a bit of trivia I've never been able to use, and probably never will again.  Thank you for that!

I seriously doubt that poster will prove it's truth in this instance, hehe!

Similar story- I tried to type F4U and forgot the "4", and got warned.  I was so pizzed I quit AH and never came back.  Ok, well maybe I meant to quit...  I mean come on!  I was wronged!  Repressed!  Where's the justice?!

Ive shared his sentiment many times after being muted for what I thought was nothing. Ive said many times I intend to quit because im just bloody tired of this game. And yet everyday the first thing I do when I get home it turn on the computer and jump on Aces High. What can I say? Im an addict.

I've been in marketing most of my life and the standard rule of thumb is that a disgruntled customer will tell 8-10 other people about their less than favorable experience (in this case far more but he's preaching to the choir so to speak).  It will spread from there but at a vastly reduced rate.  48 seems way too high to me.

The other rule of thumb is that it costs twice as much to aquire a new customer as it does to keep a current customer, so in this regard Mr. Disgruntled is correct.

some games have fascist type Mods count yourself lucky.

There was this one guy who got promoted over many years to be a head mod and community manager.(so yea he had a little black book of all the guys who had ever handed him his arse in a fight)  The amount of BS that guy spouted muting certain people for minor offences and letting others get away with talking about your mother.

Post out of his line within the rules bam its deleted and your account is banned for 6 months.  Talk about a cute girl your seeing that evening and bam chat lost for a day.  

Now in AH adults can talk about most things and the chat can get a little heated.  Swearing is probably the only thing that should and does get you muted.  

If you cant type something civil dont type it all.  Get over it and carry on playing you won't find a better WW2 game online.  It's your loss.

I am all for freedom of speech how ever this is a game that is played around the world & the rules for here in the USA may not apply else where, also it is a game for you & I for others it is a source of income, so from a business point of view they have to take into consideration laws & customs from around the world so if I was to make a game some what child friendly I think that would get around a lot of issues that might pop up.

i don't actually think it's the mods.......i think it's an automatic filter.....i got a warning almost instantly the other night for typing "chit".....no way it was a mod. which brings this point up.........you HAD to have had at least ONE warning before you got muted..which means you brought it on yourself by pushing the limit.

MtnMan

that's actuaually a good point....i own an automotive repair shop/....it costs on average about $50.00 to gain a new customer, but only $2.00 to keep a customer. customers are ALWAYS happy to squeak about things......i think about 60% or something like that.......but less than 30% tell friends how happy they are with services.
