G'day players !
The other day I was fighting in the dual arena.
Some player became upset and wrote down immature racist comments.
I used the "report chat" command. I believe other players reacted same !
Because of immediate responce from HTC, it was confirmed that this same player will be playing with his GI Joe doll for a little while !
WTG HTC !!!!

ahhhh, so you're saying you got a bunch of squaddies/friends to mass report someone, knowing the offices are closed thru monday? :rock
-
incident took place few days back before xmas.
Personal msg was sent to myself stating the outcome of investigation !
Phil / OPP7755 :aok

I'm sure it was a personal message for a reason

So are you saying they should have waited to report the dweeb until the office was open?

nooo.. bear in mind when i posted all i was responding to was "it works!!!" there were no details, at the time.
Also, I think it's just his chat privililedges that are suspended, not his ability to keep playing.
i also see no reason for this thread. of course the .report function works... duh... and of course HTC's actual pre-vacation response was nothing less than expected.
The point here, really, is.... if everything had been taken care of, why post *now.* or even at all?
-
Good for you! I for one am very tired of the conduct of online gamers. Foul language, threats, personal insults to peoples family, religion race etc etc. The surprising thing is that many of the people who exhibit these types of childish behaviors are actually adults.
I will say that for the most part the Aces comunity is better then most. Keep up the good work!
Helm ...out

I totally agree helm. Vulgarity is the first refuge of the mediocre.

Maybe its to encourage folks that that dont have to take abuse from other players? It is nice to know that this important function works. I for one am glad we have it.
Helm ...out
p.s. your signiture line is excellent!

of course it's a great feature, and like many "features," it *is* open to abuse, which has been related in the past.
based on the unmodified original post, there was no indication of the circumstances. also, based on my time and observations in the DA, it could easily have been a squeeker squad gaming the feature for chits and grins. Obviously with details coming out, it seems substantiated with appropriate action taking place.
as we know HTC frowns on frivilous reporting and it can backfire on those thinking they can (ab)use it. we also know HTC frowns on posting stuff that should be handled thru support.
As for my sig... heh... i try to be original. i saw a recent sig that i really like and found applicable to this game, moreso since it totally sums up my opinion of certain skwadz/players in certain arenas:
"A cult of personality or personality cult arises when a country's <skwadz> leader uses mass media to create a heroic public image through unquestioning flattery and praise."
discuss. :aok

Ok Shane, I'll try to answer why I posted this thread....
First there is no reason for me to post the name of the player. I made an observation and he was mouthing off with another player. I didn't want to get involved... There's no need for me to post further details of the comments...
The main reason I wanted to mention this is because in the past, I've seen some players complaining about HTC not doing anything about players going foul during game play....(when using the REPORT CHAT tool)
HATS to HTC.
They reacted and took action !
That's all.
Next time I'll want to say/write anything, I'll check with you :rofl

that would be due to the fact that 99% of those that claim to be non-racist, in all actuality, are.

LOL.. They take joy in this gang reporting. Its easy squelch him. I bet noobie Phil doesn't realize that now that person cannot type and he may not relay pertinant information to his country via chat like and NOE ALERT BASE A17. Its kinda easy squelch. If the guy made a racist remark so be it. I am not saying the individual would give a typed alert but I bet you never thought of that. if he annoyed you report him. Don't instigate a mass report. He did not annoy the others(If it was private). Just get over it.

Hey guys ! I'm just saying the guys at HTC did a god job when A PLAYER CALLED THE OTHER PLAYER by the "N" word !
He was reported using the REPORT CHAT.
I just wanted to say that when we use this tool, the guys upstairs do a good job ! Some players in this game don't believe that there's nothing done by HTC ! :(
noobie Phil
SALUTE noobie DrDeathx ! :P

The inference here is that those .reported not actioned on, probably weren't valid .reports, i.e., people reporting for non-reportable stuff. The stuff that is truly overboard will get action on, as evidenced by your situation.
see what i'm getting at? :aok

HTC didn't do anything, at the outset. Buncha people report someone, 'someone', can't talk anymore. (HTC digs into it later on, of course)

I agree completely. Why people feel the need to make sexually inappropiate and rude comments to 13 (and under) year olds is just beyond me.
-
I totally agree helm. Vulgarity is the first refuge of the mediocre.
Kinda like your avatar :huh
-
I will say this about the "chat suspension" thing. I believe you should be able to type on your squad channel (Channel 4) and be able to use the .s command while chat suspended
-
Kinda like your avatar :huh
no... you're assuming vulgarity. :aok
which dovetails nicely with my location. :D

The idea banshee is to make the punishment severe enough, that most people will not become repeat offenders. As such loss of ALL communication is part of the "punishment". Soften that and you accomplish nothing. Heck if it was up to me, I'd make it so if a person got "reported" they'd get booted for an hour first, then lose comm privs.
Yes Phil it works, it always has worked. It takes a number of people to act in a given period of time.
Which is why most often people who report someone don't see any result.
I suspect HTC can also pull logs of those who have "almost" been reported. Along with exactly what was said, by whom, etc.
DrDeath, remind me never to share airspace with you sir, your a waste of good skin.
You may be a good stick but your a lousy community member with that attitude.

I'll bet he doesn't give a crap ... and neither would I.

Thank you Sir for your comment !
Still not sure why DrDeath has this negative approach towards me wanting to share good input on the reaction of HTC staff !
Salute Sir...

He's far from a good stick. Unfortunately Ghost, the majority of Rooks allow his juvenile behavior to happen. Also the same for Tripl5 and valdals. So, the rest of the Rooks are just as much to blame as the three offenders. Quite pathetic too if you ask me.

True. But during the holidays or weekends or whatever when HTC staff is not at work, there might be an incident where someone false Mass reports you out of spite or some other dumb reason. Then you have no way of communicating with private tuning.

Good of the order...
I was in the MW last week when us Comcast users were having such a difficult time staying online. Had been discoed half a dozen times in 20 minutes so my frustration level was peaking. Another player and i got into it and with my frustration level already near flash point I may have said something about corn and a fok that really was uncalled for. I was immediately text banned for a week.
I did something wrong and totally uncalled for so I took my punishment and "hopefully" learned from it.
Now for my 2 cents... It would be nice to still be able to .s while on restriction, my squadies were very kind and put up with my requests for them to <S> others for me Thanks Guys!
Phil, I'm not sure if this was others that reported me or if a moderator threw the flag on me, either way it was the right thig to do.

You must send Rodent some flowers :aok
:rofl

I totally agree helm. Vulgarity is the first refuge of the mediocre.
Or the first response from people in Philly.... :noid
e.g.
Statement: "If the Cowboys win on Sunday, they will make the playoffs"
Response: "F the Cowboys" :aok
(couldn't resist)

Im going to have to agree with that.

Has nothing to do with you Alpha !
This incident took place in Dual Arena. I wasn't involved in the heated dispute. The one player went far out of line with his racial comments.....
Salute Sir

Changing your IP address will not circumvent the chat ban.
