Title: Perma Squelch
Post by: bongaroo on July 07, 2008, 09:01:57 AM
This http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,240452.0.html (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,240452.0.html) is a perfect example of why attempting to have the game players moderating other players does not work.  Dweebs figure out the system (.report 10 times) and abuse it.

Instead of attempting to police the game, why not have people police what they want?  Make the .squelch command last until you .unsquelch someone; even after logging out and back in.

No more will you have to hear Skyrock's ace pilot complaints, tripl5's annoying arm-chair generaling, or other rubbish we see over and over again ad nausea.

I'm guessing this isn't an option to HTC to protect the kiddies fragile wittle minds?

IMO, the squad that did it should get into trouble. What happened there was completely un-called for and very immature.

Bongaroo the PermSqu has been pitched hundreds of times. It would have happened by now if HTC deemed it beneficial.

I know it's been pitched for a while, and I have done some searching but couldn't find anyone from HTC giving a specific for it not being implemented.  I'm sure a forum wizz will drop the quote on us here in a minute.

It just seems to me that Skuzzy and Dale wouldn't have to deal with so much BS if permasquelch were around.  Just imho since I have no real idea how they have the system set up.  I'd get tired of babysitting people's potty mouths.

there is a version of permasquelch. go to your text buffer, and detune channel 200.

there, it's done. no longer will you hear everyone elses complaints when you ho them or ram them :rofl :aok :D

It would be nice to have a squelch list that you can edit names on/off so that it squelch's them everytime you log in.

This is the stuff I think HT should post on the main page. Never mind the "Top scores" stuff. Investigate if the .report was use improperly. If it was, post that it was, and that every member of the squad involved has had their text/vox privileges suspended and for how long.  I think posting the stupid things that some try and the punishments they suffer may go a ways in helping deter others stupidities.

Just got to know where to look....

But if you look at that from a community stand point, it realy is just sticking your head in the sand to the problem. i.e. let someone else deal with it. This attitude fosters and breeds it's self, and sudenly doing anything you wan't is "accepatble" on line and on this bbs.

This is why we have never implemented a perminate squelch list, if some one is so problematic that lots of people want to put them on a perminate squelch list, well quite frankly that person should not be here.

I shoulda guessed you'd find it Murdr.  I bet you have a word file of commonly needed HT quotes don't you!

With spelling that bad it has to be authentic.   :aok



Makes sense in a way.  But not completely since we do have squelch already; it just only lasts one login.

Hitech's pount is perfectly reasonable - for all "serious" offenders.
 
But gonna ban someone from game just because he is ranting virtually every day about how this team sucks, how furballers ruin the fun for all, why nobody has porked yet, yada, yada yada...? A few of those players I do squelch every day, and I'm not the only one who does. They are just annoying, but usually  nothing they do is reportable, it's just rediculous, annyoing, boring as hell. That's why I'm wishing for perma, even though I know I won't get it ;)

I almost never use the squelch feature, except a few times that schrill squeak breaks the sound barrier.

Best ever squeakers sayings; "Mayday Mayday Mayday"  :rofl :rofl :rofl Lord I apologise.

I always love "with bleeding ears" the armchair generals that are tweens or young teens. 

I vote for the permant squelch

Perma squelch would be good, therefor we will not have it.
Title: Re: Perma Squelch
Post by: Bruv119 on July 08, 2008, 08:53:02 AM
an easy option would be to disable the text buffer,  all it would need is a tick box somewhere.

a Perma squelch list would be excellent.  Sometimes country channel can get too much aswell and just having one option to take it all away will be fantastic.
