Alright, here is one that REALLY ticked me off. I was in the middle of a fight, I didn't have my mic plugged in at the time, so I had to type. So, I open the text buffer, and on room, type "Ive got an F4U right in front of me". Instant mute!!! If you're going to call a plane an F4U, don't mute people for typing it! On a similar topic, I got a waring for telling someone "If listening to me on 200 pisses you off so much, just squelch me", whereas there are almost no visible results for someone who fills the text buffer with the word "noodle" over and over again. Mods a bit biased? Yeah, I'm whining. Just doesn't seem right to me.
-
Have you ever done this? someone said they are busy fighting a horde of F4U Mission and tell you to to type it out in country chat. ^_^ some bastage friend of mine tried this on me ! zoozoo!
-
Here's the key to the whole thing.
We're in charge of what we type. There are no accidents on 200. Keep your cool, be responsible for your text. The fact that HTC has to use Mods, is really a sad commentary on the fact that some folks can't police themselves.
-
Rather than a moderator being biased, has it occurred to you that there may not have been one on at that time? Also, there is an auto mute feature that will mute you if you type something it deems "profanity". It is known that it mistakes sentences with "f4u" in them for profanity, just another heads up.

The "Pissed off" comment was a moderator. I got a "Serenity, try to calm down" or (something to that effect) box pop up, which isn't an auto feature. The F4U thing was a filter though, which I think should be fixed.
-
You mistyped F4U as FU. F4U shows up in the buffer all the time.

then it's fairly simple....calm down. :aok
-
If you type in "f4u 5k" you get a warning,type it again and 10min mute.
-
If you type in "f4u 5k" you get a warning,type it again and 10min mute.
done that one before.
-
The only time I've been muted is when I first came to the MA and called myself a "retard" for augering.

Haha wow thats funny, I just tried it in the MA and got warned.

Ive been muted twice in the past couple weeks - first two times since I joined the game.
New mods are a bit uppity, methinks.

I know you can`t type watermelon anymore :cry

No no no, the key to whole thing is reading the post and responding to it instead of just typing something :rofl
-
the corsair is so over modeled, that its mere mention brings about instant suffering..
-
I know you can`t type watermelon anymore :cry
And yet you can still type the word with the proper spelling and get by the filter. Strange how the auto-filter works.
ack-ack
-
ive been text muted for a week now because my bro got on comp and called someone a gay hoer (or so he says) lol
-
I'd perfer if you were muted all the time, Serenity.
:aok
-
whereas there are almost no visible results for someone who fills the text buffer with the word "noodle" over and over again.
Yeeeeeppp that sounds familiar (and it was fun).... :noid :noid ...
On a more serious note:
a) I completely agree with what Serenity said, however he omitted the fact that when he asked me to stop saying "noodlenoodlenoodlenoodle", I did stop immediately.
b) Sorry if I offended anyone by doing that.

Yet anybody who has ever shot pacerr down has received a PM with the word watermelon in it. And that's not a problem? There is a big bias in the game. So the trick is, make sure you have a CM Staff friend somewhere? Is that right?
You mistyped F4U as FU. F4U shows up in the buffer all the time.
And this is where I pee everybody off. Seemingly... All of you Postpotato's are the ones getting the good end of that stick!
-
funny how pacerr didnt PM me at all? Was he sick?
-
LOL... He probably PM's you more then any of us sir! Just not about killing him.

No ... the real trick is to keep written or spoken foul langauge to yourself and don't bring it to the text buffer or vox.
That will 100% guarantee that you will NEVER be called on the carpet by a Mod and you will NEVER get muted ... it's that simple.
-

+1.
Not a single squeak after he missed the HO in his LA7 a couple weeks ago and couldn't run away from my K4 fast enough. ;)
-
hehe... He tried ho'ing my 190a-8 last week in a Hurri... I didnt hear from him after his death either.

:huh How in the heck is someone else supposed to monitor and do something about a message that you, and ONLY you recieve from another player? :huh Think that's why they call them private messages.

i've gotten a warning for typing ""chit"" in open channel.......
-
So no more F4U watermelon chat in them Focke cockpits will be tolerated ;)
-
So... Foul language is allowed for PM's? I just want to make sure I'm clear on what you are saying here? We are talking about the Text Filters I thought. Do those filters not see what is in a PM?
:huh How in the heck is someone else supposed to monitor and do something about a message that you, and ONLY you recieve from another player? :huh Think that's why they call them private messages.
Yeah open channels are one thing, but I always assumed PM's would follow the same guidelines. Having a filter present does not violate the idea of privacy.

LAUGH out Loud!

Really? Because you said "There is a big bias in the game. So the trick is, make sure you have a CM Staff friend somewhere?" in connection with PM's. What does having a friend have to do with text filters? The only text channel exempt from the filter is channel 4. Obviously "chit" is not filtered. What does that have to do with bias?

If you can.... Remove them. :salute

Flying in MA a Month ago xbrit came into the arena. I've known xbrit now for what 4 or 5 Years.. Great guy, a friend. I remarked "Who left the door unlocked? Crap xbrit slipped in." Muted 10 minutes.
Yeah there's a bit of biased MODs out there.

Really now? Which part? The F4U muting? I've got a witness. I was winging with uss113 in P-47D-11s at the time. Or the noodle post? That one has a witness too, McWatt. Or the "Pissed off" statement? Ive got a pair of squadies who witnessed that, I know because I immidiately squeaked at them about it. So really, which witness shall I call foreward?

Text nazi's.

One godwin point for gentleman.

Being a CM has no connection with being a moderator in the Main Arena. So you'd be wrong.
-
Even CM's get muted :rofl
-
I think many of us have had Imperial Encounters with the Text Gestapo. Warnings and mute times...... so what, people will say what they want regardless. My Golden rule, if its worth the muting then type it, if not, then dont.
-
I can say I've never been text muted.... Skuzzified a couple of times, but never muted in game :aok

The text filter warns for the first f4u + k. It does not mute you until the second time you attempt to type it. Also, the K is required in order to trip the text filter- there is no warning issued for "Ive got an f4u right in front of me". As to your witnesses, they would not see the warnings you got either from a mod, or the automated text filter, and they certainly wouldn't be able to receive further text from you if you were muted as you claim to be. That's something of a glaring error in your little story. Also, there's not much to complain about when a mod warns you for being a PITA. That's what they're supposed to do, whether or not they are able to deal with every PITA, every time.
Care to fabricate any additional details that might make this little yarn even somewhat believable? Perhaps start another thread complaining not that the filters and mods are too strict, but rather too lenient?
Oops, I see you're a step ahead of me.
The last time I got muted was for threatening to knife the next person who sent me a popup. What bs!!!11! It took about 1 second. :lol
-
When looking at text autofiltering, remember that in addition to looking for specific words it also scans for letter combinations that appear when letters, punctuation and spaces are ignored.
The classic example actually showed up years ago, when somebody posted that they were muted for typing:
"Check F4U-1C 1K!"
-
it's obvious that this is a sop to f4u drivers. Players will now be afraid to call out their positions to countrymen allowing the sneaky !#%!%!%'s to pop you like a grape. So which one of you waggle wings sent the bribe in? Be honest now?

hehe... ya, anyone spending this much time gameing should never be given an arm band.

I'd think if you were typing, you'd not take the time to write out "Check F4U-1C 1K!"
"Hog 1K" is a whole lot quicker :)

Yes. If you can tell Skuzzy the date and time, he can round up the text. Provided it wasn't too long ago.
BTW, that is the best reason for contacting HTC in these matters instead of posting here. :)
-
Have you ever done this? someone said they are busy fighting a horde of F4U Mission and tell you to to type it out in country chat. ^_^ some bastage friend of mine tried this on me ! zoozoo!

Never found out who was doing this to me, they knew i was jewish though.

Oooh, they don't keep the records very long? Alright.. Ill try to dig up my films and see if I caught it on there somehow. This was a while ago, and I didn't think to mention it then because only one instance wasn't worth complaining about.

:rock

Next time just type "I've got a boinkU right in front of me!"

Or how about the mods get some common sense themselves and maybe take a cultural diversity course, different words mean different things to people all over the world. Therefore something someone says in the UK might be seen in a different light by those from the UK than say those in the USA.
I also suspect most of the kids on here could teach their parents a thing or two about bad language, therefore the "there are children playing this game - watch your mouth" argument, holds no weight with me.

There is absolutely no reason in the world to use profane language on vox or in the text buffer.

I'm still trying to work out what side of the fence Serenity is on.
There is another post on the first page here complaining about MA
language by Serenity.
So he's offended by all "foul" language that doesn't come his his
keyboard? :huh

Serenity.....find that film yet?

Nope. I've got a film of me winging with uss113 in D-11s that LOOKs like its the right time frame, and there is a long period where im completely silent, but it doesn't show any pop-ups or anything saying I was muted. Does the pop-up show up in the film?
And Rino, that thread was about ONE word. If I get muted for foul language, I am perfectly alright with that. If something slips and I get a warning from a mod, I appologise for the infringement and keep a more tight leash on my tongue this complaint is for being muted for saying "Theres an F4U" by the auto filter, and for being warned for saying "pissed off". NEITHER of those two satements are profane, hence my complaint.

Popup's are not the issue here. The reason for finding the film is to see what, exactly, you typed. As others have stated in this thread, the filter will not issue a warning unless the F4U is followed by a "K".
Also, you don't think that "pissed off" is profane, right? Are you ok with what others posted in your other thread about the alternate meanings of the word you find so offensive?

The issue is though, when the filter intercepts it, it doesn't make it to the buffer. The buffer is recorded in the film viewer, but NOT the "window" that opens when you type.
There is a difference between the two. The other post was made regarding the connotations of a certain word and its widespread use. "pissed off" is worthy of a warning where "stfu", "noodlenoodlenoodle" and other little statements aren't? Would you punish your kids for saying someone was pissed off?
-
ive been text muted for a week now because my bro got on comp and called someone a gay hoer (or so he says) lol
can we pay your brother to go fly at Tripl5's??

Who says I'm talking about profane and explicit language, or do I need to explain my statement to you? You seem like an itelligent person so I think no you don't want me to explain it. You know fine well what I'm talking about.

I go up....I kill people...sometimes I get to land.
all the crap in the middle that fascinates so many people here I could give a rats *** about.

Would you punish your kids for saying someone was pissed off?
Yes. Just the same as I was when I was your age.
-
Yes. Just the same as I was when I was your age.
Alright then, I can see where youre coming from. I guess I was raised under the impression that while "pissed off" isn't the nicest way to put it, it isn't a 'bad word'.
-
Would you say it to a 5 year old?
No? Good it's settled.
Yes? You still need some learning. My teacher was a paddle ball paddle.
-

I don't see the word "pissed off" as being inapropriate, but then again ive heard a 5 year old (multiple ones actually) say "'F' you" so perhaps im just from a different part of town.
-
I don't see the word "P-O" as being inapropriate, but then again ive heard a 5 year old (multiple ones actually) say "'Francisco" so perhaps im just from a different part of town.
In my days in radio, the "heavy seven" were totally off limits. They still are.
You could use the Papa word for male as long as you were discussing something medicinal, you just couldn't call someone that.
Nowadays on TV you CAN say P-O. It didn't used to be the case, but I hear it on my wife's soap opera smack dab in the middle of daytime television all the time. I have also heard it on the radio alot here lately. It seems pretty harmless considering.
I don't believe players typing the Papa word into the radio text buffer 55 hundred times like I saw a couple of weeks is a good idea.
There are some pretty much harmless words that ARE "warning" words in-game that don't seem like they need to be.
Maybe they are considered escalation words that could lead to worse ones. Seems odd that there are words ok to be used in the Bible that are banned here. Seems overly Pilgrim to me.
ROX

i can tell ya...if they were my 5 year olds...they wouldn't be saying that......IF they did, they'd, it'd only be once..they'd learn better after that one time.
-
I really haven't any issues with the other words mentioned here (that they can't be said), but I want 'chit' back---it's such a useful word, and conveys SOOO many things with just 4 letters: "Chit, I crashed"..."Chit, he rammed/Ho'd me", "That ack hitting me was a bunch of chit", "Im gonna egg that little chit", "Chit, wife is home".....I miss chit
-
text filter issues? you think you have it rough here........these are the posted rules about text filter issues at another board I post on:
Bypassing The Censor: Members are prohibited from attempting to bypass the built-in sensor mechanism that automatically replaces profanity and other banned words & phrases with a series of asterisks. Bypassing is any action to thwart the intended function of the censor, such as attempting to divulge the actual censored word or words by means of using other spellings, symbols, rhymes, or any facsimiles thereof.
here's some more:
Bi-Posting: Members are prohibited from using or registering more than one username. Multiple user names (Bi-Posting-ghosting-cloning) is not permitted. Members who continue to Bi-Post do so fully at their own risk, as we periodically sweep our registered user lists with software designed to delete such multiple accounts, and this software does not differentiate between primary and secondary usernames. Once a username is deleted/banned by our sweep software, it is absolutely unrecoverable.
they have another unwritten rule that would get most of you banned in this thread.........it's called "Grandstanding"...which is openly complaining about the Mods. if you want to do that...you have to send them a private PM.
-
I got muted for an hour last night for saying, "crap". 2 other of my squadies got the same punishment also.
Moderators abuse their power beyond belief. We should be allowed to say anything we want ( barring racial, deflamatory, etc, remarks) for the $15 we pay per month. I hardly think saying "crap" over 200 merits an hour warning.
I would like to give that moderator a piece of my mind. He is a complete twit, utter moron, and he hides behind the anonymity of the moderator position. Get a life, and stop ruining people's fun for such a trivial thing. TURD.

OK ... so we can say ANYTHING we want ... EXCEPT ... "DaveJ's List" (which he gets to make up, which includes "etc") ... so you decide on what is "OK" ... is that any different than any Mod making the same decisions ?
Would you give HiTech or any HTC Staff ... "a piece of your mind" ? ... and during that conversation would you then go on to say to any of them ... "Your a complete twit, utter moron, and you hide behind the anonymity of the moderator position. Get a life, and stop ruining people's fun for such a trivial thing. TURD."
What makes you think that the "Mod" that spanked you was not HiTech/HTC Staff in "incognito" ?

I got muted for an hour last night for saying, "crap". 2 other of my squadies got the same punishment also.
Moderators abuse their power beyond belief. We should be allowed to say anything we want ( barring racial, deflamatory, etc, remarks) for the $15 we pay per month. I hardly think saying "crap" over 200 merits an hour warning.

Judging by how you conduct yourself in the arenas I really doubt your innocent in all of this. :noid Based on what I've seen the past you were probably running your mouth on 200 making excuses, calling people turds and the mod had enough.

Was not running my mouth on 200 at the time. All I said was "crap". Mike254 and Jakob10 can verify this. They all said it too and received the exact same punishment.

No, it's not. Next time you get muted for saying something so trivial make sure to not post anything here.

Well, obviously the mod didn't think it was "trivial" if he muted 3 of you. :devil

No. I'm sorry but that still doesn't warrant an HOUR muting. Even if it was HTC. I realize its his game and all but still, thats bordering on ridiculous.

Interesting ... so if it was him and you knew it ... would you call him on the phone and say this to him ... "Your a complete twit, utter moron, and you hide behind the anonymity of the moderator position. Get a life, and stop ruining people's fun for such a trivial thing. TURD."
Wanna know what really is ridiculous ? ... you trying to get us to believe that you got muted for 60 minutes for "just" for saying "crap".

Probably not those exact words, no. You're right about that. It's what I think though.

I agree. There is NOTHING wrong with saying crap. I was one of the 3 that got muted for an hour for saying it. Thats BS. That mod was just abusing their power.

You might have been muted for saying crap but my guess is there more to the story. I've said crap before on open channel and never got muted, in fact I have never been muted. But then again I dont talk a lot of smack and for the most part remain pretty respectful on 200. You OTOH like to run your mouth and thats fine, but you have to be aware of the fact that you are going to rub people the wrong way. And when you act like that you are going to be put on a short leash. thats just life.
Give respect and you will get respect.

Aaaah. So, now we are getting some where!!! :aok
So, what you are saying is that, perhaps you and your friends aren't quite as innocent as you, at first, would have had us believe?
BTW, I've seen the sort of thing you are talking about happen before. Folks say one thing and get wacked for it in the arenas. Then post here claiming to have said something totally different...and always innocuous. Without fail, there is more to the story than is first reported.
Regardless of what the mod thinks, saying "crap" over 200 does not deserve an hour muting.
Under the circumstances...what the mod thinks is ALL that matters. Heck, since you have already started crawfishin' on what you said...would you like to do the same on the amount of time you were muted for? Just a thought...but, you might wanna just walk away now. This is starting to look like an eminent train wreck. :)

here's a question..if they had film running, wuld it show the mute notice? this would prove or disprove what they're trying to say?

exactly. That's why i usually don't believe much unless theres film too.

I think I've been muted a few times. I'm sure each time was worth it. Also probably worth it to my squad to get a few moments of silence.
-
Got a warning tonight for 200 text, no profanity, not even any masked stuff.
No direct insults to anyone...don't want to go into it here in case the PC brigade
is around.
All I can figure is that HTC getting ready to port to the kiddy consoles...not like
the old fogies gonna make em rich.
-
i can tell ya...if they were my 5 year olds...they wouldn't be saying that......IF they did, they'd, it'd only be once..they'd learn better after that one time.
I agree with you 100%. Kids mouths have gotten out of control, but to me "Pissed off" isn't all that bad.

Just goes to show you how much they've gone astray.

It's times like these that I'm glad I play off-peak hours.
I say ditch the mods all together. Bad language is a fact of life, you can rise above it or let yourself be offended by it.
If you've got young kids playing.... If you let your young ones out to play with teenagers anywhere else you'd expect them to hear a few 'bad words'... AH is no different. It's up to the parent to moderate the child's behaviour, no one else.
If there are no kids on.... we're all adults and if you can't handle a few bad words.... well, you need to harden the f-k up a little. :aok :lol
Record and report people who get personal and insulting and let the rest slide. Leave the auto-warning profanity filter in place and let that do its job.
I may not have the full facts because I don't play American peak times... maybe you guys can't control yourselves? :lol
Off-peak is not moderated heavily, or so it seems anyway, only Dastrdly seems to get muted regularly and he's completely harmless.
It's a shame you guys have to put up with this crap, I'd be very annoyed if this sort of 1 hour mute nonsense started going on when I played.
-

Actually, the warning about being "pissed off" for me came at about midnight, when there were only about 80 of us in the arena. Ive never had any run-ins with mods during busy hours.

Flying in MA a Month ago xbrit came into the arena. I've known xbrit now for what 4 or 5 Years.. Great guy, a friend. I remarked "Who left the door unlocked? Crap xbrit slipped in." Muted 10 minutes.
Yeah there's a bit of biased MODs out there.
Yup and they should have at least an identity number that pops up when they do anything so their actions can be reported by players to HTC staff when they are ridiculous or in some cases, abusive to customers.
-
Unfortunately, what you showed was an inability to give an accurate account of what happened....by your own admission. :frown:
If you want to try the mods out, go to the arena, get on 200, and just say... "wow, mods really are too strict." and see what happens. IIRC, Vanscrew said something like it and somehow, it got Joker2 muted in the process.
-
Or type on 200 "1+ what do you mean the mods suck tonight???" :devil
-
Even with some other people giving stories about saying "crap" and getting muted, people on here still don't believe us. Go figure.

I think you guys are the ones with the problems. I don't think you got muted for saying "crap", I think you got muted for your reputations. If the mods know you as a "loud mouth braggart", and you come on while they are on, they may just be muting you for little stuff to nip it in the bud so to speak. Get you to calm down BEFORE you really get wound up.

I did no talking on 200 previous to that. I was quiet for a few hours. So that little version has no solid ground.
Anyway, there shouldn't be prejudices against certain players, even if they are known to have huge mouths. Moderators are supposed to be unbiased.
-
Dave do you think perhaps you may have done something to earn a slight bias?
Being quiet for "a few hours" and having a day/week/month/year(s) long history of shooting off your mouth does not a good excuse make. I expect that things that get people muted are cumulative and not just the immediate infraction in a moderators eye.
Same goes for most of the folks who complain about the moderators...they're usually the bigmouths.
I've seen/heard serenity go off and his virtual mouth would've been duct taped if that happened in an event I was running so I expect something "innocent" or toeing the line would get your wrist slapped easier if you had a history of doing such.
I received a popup warning some time ago while bantering with a former Air Warrior buddy from years long past. Something to the effect of "Golfer, you know better than that" and while I didn't know exactly what was insulting/toeing the line I did something radical...
I stopped.

I have looked into what happen.
Life is not as simple as DaveJ describes.
I looked at the logs. The whole story is DaveJ said crap, I agree with DaveJ that he was not over the line when he first was WARNED and not muted by the moderator. The word crap by itself would not be a normal offense, also not there was no muting at this time, only a warning given. And the issues has been discussed with the moderators.
Next DaveJ gets on his squad channel to try push the issue with the moderator.
He counts down on squad channel so they all want to say crap at once on channel 200.
This is when he and his squad mates were muted, and I also would have muted them for defying the authority of a mod.
Had Dave simply taking the warning for what it was, emailed us about the Crap issue All would have been handled.
Dave also shows his real intent by pushing the issue again on the bbs. Under normal circumstances I would not discuss logs on the bbs. But it is not the word crap that Dave was muted for, rather the arguing with a mod on open channel, this will always end in a mute, because it really is disruptive to game play and should be handled with HTC via email.

I was muted the first time, for 10 minutes. I got a warning and then a mute. The 2nd time it was for an hour.
Fair enough about the defying the authority of a moderator, but in my personal opinion he is overstepping his authority for muting just for "crap". I can't believe a person can be muted for saying that, once again.
And I realize this is a losing argument.

Too funny ... how come you didn't add all that info when you first came in here jumping up and down about "just saying crap".
The mute actually came from poking the Mod in the eye after FIRST getting warned for saying "crap".
You and your innocent buds left out this little tidbit too ...

I've been truthful all along. I did get a muting for saying "crap", even if it was with other squadies. I even told you it was with other squadies multiple times over 2 of these threads.
The question is about the moderators authority to punish for saying that. I don't believe he should have the authority, but that is where I disagree with the rest of you.

no..the question is why did you come here expecting pity, and leave out inconvienent(to you) portions of the truth?
they punished you because you called them out. put yourself in their shoes.
if you realy had a problem with them, you should've recorded, backed off, and emailed HTC.
once again, it seems pretty simple. you brought that, AND this on yourself.
-
I've been truthful all along.
Not really. You chose to post a complaint whereby you were singled out by the moderators for simply texting the word "crap". You forgot to fill in "the rest of the story" which Hitech described.
Take your lumps and be more prudent as to what you (or squad mates) type into the text bar. It's really THAT simple.

Even after HiTech clearly explained why you were muted, you still don't get it do you? You were not muted for saying "Crap", you were muted for defying the moderator that warned you previously to watch your language. You didn't, you went againt the request of the moderator and was muted for that reason. Had you shown some sign of intelligence and listened to the warning you would not have been. It is so simple that I am at a total lost for words that you can't seem to grasp it. Maybe we have to type slower for you to understand or use pretty pictures.

No Akak, I get it. Once again, that's why I'm bringing up the question of the moderators being able to punish for saying that in the first place! Obviously they are, but really they should not be able to, and if thats the case there would have been no muting at all because there would have been no "defying the moderators".

I disagree. If it hadn't been "The Great Crap Incident" it would have been something else. As was stated by HT, there is a procedure for dealing with incidents where you believe you have been unfairly treated by a mod......trying to one-up the mod isn't it. From what HT said, you are even responsible for your squaddies being muted.
None of this would have happened if you hadn't been trying to show-up the mod. THAT is what you don't get. :rolleyes:

NB I believe the point we're all missing is that there shouldn't be any game moderators to begin with. That way anyone can say or type anything they please. If it's offensive, oh well. There's a slight possibility that some subscribers might cancel their accounts, but at least the "freedom of speech" article of The Constitution will be preserved. Just who does Hitech think he is...telling us what we can and can not say? Tyranny I say!
Dave, perhaps you should simply give Hitech a call and lobby your cause to rid the game of evil moderators. I'm sure he'd love to discuss the topic with you.

That is HT saying that he agrees with you the just saying the word "crap" would not be a normal offense ... and then he goes on to say that the "issues" have been discussed with his moderators. That means the the "mods" got a talking to by HT.
With that, I would have said ... "Thanks HT" ... and then go on to apologize for challenging the mod and bringing this to the boards.

Davey is one of the few people I can always rely on for an honest and fair fight. He's one of the few people that will do his best to call off any of his countrymen who arrive in the middle of a 1 v 1 and if they don't, he'll break off and warn that the group of them isn't listening.
If he talks abit of watermelon now and then... so be it, at least he plays the game in a way that is fun for others looking for a good scrap.
In the last couple of weeks I've had some great historical 1 v 1s with him, 38 v Dora and most of them end up with both of us missing control surfaces and leaking all over. In fact, in one of our fights I think I had his 38 leaking fuel from every tank, both engines smoking and both flaps missing :lol. It was impossible to lose sight of him, the 6+ trails of vapor and smoke were so easy to see I didn't have to bother looking for his 38 at all. My Dora was missing a bunch of parts and was covered in bullet holes too (which look much better since the update, HTC... good job), so it was good fun.
In my opinion, that is what Aces High is all about. Good fights that go right down to the wire.
I got in a scrap with him a couple of nights ago and tried to talk watermelon with him on 200 but he couldn't reply because he was muted for a week or something. That seems a little extreme to me.

Im not muted. Sorry to disappoint. HTC dose not allow that are muted to change there names i might add. I got a new name because of all the perks i could not give away. And to hopefully change my reputation.

It's sad when the community thinks so lowly of you that you have to change your handle to try and hide from your reputation.

BTW, did we ever get anything in the way of a film or screenshot from Serenity to back up his little fairy tale?

He never backs anything up...just cries for attention.

I think you can add his latest fairy tale to his other ones like his knife fight and the uber Spitfire he ran into.

I'll back him up on the part where he said " if it pisses you off so much than squelch me". I was the one telling him to shut up. ( not that nicely I must add ) I received a warning also but didn't get so huffy about it. There are times I need a little reminder to watch my mouth when I've had a couple too many. I just couldn't believe that he can fill up the buffer so fast. :D

Then he cries more when he gets it. ;)

Now, how do you expect films to back this up? Those warning boxes don't appear in films, and if it is squelched by the auto-filter, it doesnt make it to the buffer, and therefore doesn't make it to film. So...

I bet you thought long and hard devising this latest cry for attention...coming up with a story that cannot be proved or disproved with hard evidence...brilliant!!! :aok

And yet I have people who have been witnesses agreeing. Have you consulted a psychologist? I think you could use a mental check-up...

Who and how?
Here's part of your original post:
Alright, here is one that REALLY ticked me off. I was in the middle of a fight, I didn't have my mic plugged in at the time, so I had to type. So, I open the text buffer, and on room, type "Ive got an F4U right in front of me". Instant mute!!!
Did anyone see what you typed? You claim that certain things do not show up, so how did someone witness this? And if they did witness it, wouldn't it be on film?
-

THAT was not witnessed. But see, can you disprove it? It has been stated that under some circumstances, (GOD forbid I should have forgotten typing a "2K" or somesuch after the direction he was from me) that a mute can result. So, there is evidence to support me. What do you offer to dispute this?

Oh, I'm sorry. I though THAT was the meat of your original post. What was this thingy that was not THAT but was the grand illusion witnessed by many?
And I disprove it by going into the MA and typing "F4U" on 200...no mute...no warning.

Simply the letters F4U won't do it. But then again, as I said, there was more in the sentence. And as other have stated, if you were to type say, "F4U, in front of me 1K" the auto-filter would bust you. I find it strange you do not interogate them...
-
For the same reasons you do not have film which would show this, you cannot possibly have witnesses. As we established earlier, you picked a phrase that doesn't trigger the text filter. We can test the filter with the phrasing you used. In fact, we already have, and it could not have happened the way you claim. You can try to back pedal, and claim you said something else, but I think most people have already realized that you're a liar. Just give it up.

This is still going on?

Yup and it'll will prolly get even better when Skuzzy leaves the office for the weekend :rofl

another example today.
cheater flying around. I have the nerve to say the C word and get muted for 10mins. cheater still flys on.

And your mistake was letting what you percieved as something wrong, get you to the point where you lost your cool and started throwing it out there. Planes are free, no one dies, we control what we type. Relax, grab a new bird, and go again :)

girls are evil. less playing time :D
it wasnt that i died, the cheater ended up dying, but i said something along the lines of "sigh cheater at 83" got a warning said why? and bang muted lol.

...because accusations of cheating, or even mentioning cheating is against the rules. So you got warned, then you questioned the mod, that gets you muted.
Pretty easy to follow I think.

To mute or not to mute
I think the whole "mean mod" tag thrown around comes from folks who have never had to moderate anything and don't fully understand whats encompassed within it. There are a ton of variables to take into consideration that most don't even consider. I know, I've moderated in servers from 30-40 to hundreds and hundreds. I think if you don't know why you were muted (sans the filter quirks), you need to ask yourself a couple questions;
Am I arguing with , or bantering a mod in public?
Its very distracting & disruptive to game play. You have to remember that every one here is paying to have their own kind of fun, so HTC needs to ensure that all can play without the undue distractions of this. You may have been wronged and have a justifiable case, who knows. But thats for HT to decide via contact with them privately with screenshots, films, whatever. Not argued about publicly, or bantering a mod repeatedly.
Could what I have said possibly insulted or offended someone?
Many people say things that are insulting in jest..and don't even realize it at all. The best thing to do is all together avoid anything that is racial, political, gender biased,or profane in any game. Really what purpose do they serve? Even in a combative simulation or FPS. Whats acceptable to some ,even a mod, may not be acceptable to many. Many times a mod even has to make a decision on something said that insulting to some that even they themselves do not find insulting. Its their job to enforce the game's respective policy...nothing more , nothing less.
All in all I think most if not all are here to have fun. If your detracting from that in any way by your actions or text, then you really need to change the way you interact within this very large and very diverse community. The hundreds of different icons you see in the arena are all attached to individuals who may not see things the same as you. A little tolerance, respect, and self control is all it takes to avoid any of that.
Just thought I'd throw in here , as I've been on the other side of the coin many times over the years.
