Let me just start by saying bad language will not be tolerated.
Today I was PMed with voice and this guy started swearing at me. Now I will not tolerate anything of the sort since I had my speakers on. I reported him. I know people that play with speakers on with little ones near by, and I don't think they would appreciate it.
I will not go into detail of who it was, but heed this warning. If I see you typing bad language you will get ONE warning. If I hear it over range or channel I'll let it pass but if it is directed at some one I will report.
If you want to act like a punk then go play Call Of Duty. Respect the rules.

Alt R, alt R when he's done, email the film to HTC. You'll never get anything accomplished with the reporting someone who tunes you privately, as reporting requires a number of individuals to report someone within a given amount of time, and it's only temporary anyway. Let HTC handle it.

I know, but by the time he was done I was too late. BTW this isn't a whine, its a reminder

Hey, not all CoD people "act like punks", it's just the ones that think the are bad because they can move an analog stick and press button. In fact it's even about 50/50; people will say, "crap", and "shit" and stuff like that but most don't actually cuss people out, at least not where anyone can hear. I play CoD, are you dissing me? If so then I challange you to a dule as soon as I get my computer fixed. I am serious, you can't really make generalizations about that type of thing. If CoD had a forum like AH2, then those punks might get told to go to AH2, you never know.

Work on your grammar before anything else.

Masherbrum, I fail to see how my grammar has anything to do with ANYTHING in this forum. And it is like that statistic where 5% of all people account for 50% of all crime. Most CoD people are actually quite nice, I have multiple friends who play CoD and NONE of them would cuss someone out. I am not saying no one who plays CoD would cuss someone out but hey, again you can't say people who play CoD are punks unless you are saying I am a punk.
-
I don't think he said or meant all of CoD are punks. but that there are punks there. either way, lighten up, if your not like the ones he describes then he is obviously not talking about you
-
How about you warn me when you're on so I don't affend you. And this isn't the place to discuss this since only one person was in the
wrong.IMO

Really? So you condone laziness and effortlessness? You're complaining and in the next breath spewing the "diss", "dule" (Duel), and other words that negate your stance in the first place.
Also, you seem to not only have a chip on your shoulder, you are mighty defensive. Noone called you a "punk", but you keep mentioning this.
Am I supposed to be intimidated? Because I'm far from it.

OK Tex, I guess I misinterpreted what he was saying, I thought he was saying that CoD was a punk game or a game for punks :o. I apologize. I still don't get how my grammar has anyting to do with what we are talking about. Besides I THINK I used correct punctuation and if I misspelled a word by using the wrong punctuation there by changing the word like it's and its, then it is because I didn't bother to use the spell check thing. And Masherbrum I don't really think duel needs to to be capitalized as it is only a verb or adjective I guess if you want to use it like that, not a title or name or anything like that. I mean you don't capitalize "fight", do you? And the use of the word "diss" and "dissing" was intentional and I thought I didn't really need the quotes around them, infact I thought they were superfluous as I have never used those words in my other posts (I think) except for lack of a better work like in my "best moments" post where I said newb dissing (again I think) post. And I was not trying to intimidate anyone, that is the tactic of a bully and a coward, which I am neither of, and rather disgraceful. And I didn't really intend for my original post to be interpreted as defensive. AND I believe I only QUESTIONED wether someone was calling me a punk ONCE.

Reminding us of the rules is a moderators job. Are you a moderator now?
Maybe Ill warn you backseat moderating is against the rules! (sarcasm) geezz.

Hmmmm, doesn't that break the rules? But then again so is telling him he is attempting to do a moderators job is moderating as well. Come to think of it I am moderating as well. Hmmmmm indeed, quite a conundrum I would dare say :confused:.

I think what he means is that if you speak/type like an idiot, that's the way you come off sounding like. On the other hand if you answer or post sounding intelligent more people may be inclined to listen to what you have to say.

RumbleB while that is true, most if not all game consoles include a controler with two analog sticks on them!

He's right about one thing, I think it's forgotten that some people that play this game have Kids and If your going to drill someone at least use the private text so the Kids can't hear. And just to be on the safe side I would get a set of headphones............

What parent would play this with speakers on knowing they cant sqeulch everyone in range or squad? I guess you can turn down voice playback, but why not just wear headphones.
I am always apologizing to Buster03 when we get out of line. He plays on 60" in his livingroom when he isn't overseas like now.
He'd be the last person to report anyone though. Most of the time his kids aren't staring at Daddy playing his game. Maybe y'all should hire a baby sitter if you can't raise your kids and play AH. You buncha (http://i411.photobucket.com/albums/pp193/dmbear/pansy-flowers.jpg)

Foul language is wrong.

WOW HOLY HIJACK BATMAN! ! !
This thread was hijacked big time.
To the person that started this thread, what i do is turn on my auto film and at the end of my sortie i type in the box the persons name if i need to then send it to HTC (skuzzy@hitechcreations.com) or if i don't need to keep it i type delete in the box. I film all my flights, never know when you will need it.
most of this thread has been blown way out of context. Some of you need to remember this is just a game, a cartoon game at that. We all have better things to do than challenging someone to a duel because they think CoD is for punks or whatever it may be. Most of you i know have kids, instead of throwing hurtful words at each other on here, spend more time with the kids and wife/husband.
My take on this is never come to the forums to WARN people of things they shouldn't be doing. If you do expect the out come that has came of this post. People cuss and say bad things while playing this game. We have Mods. in the game for this. If one of them don't catch them breaking the rules then report them or send in a film and let the correct people handle it. No you are not the correct people to handle it. Never come to the forums for this kind of thing :salute

That statement is wrong on SOOOO many levels.

Hey, not all CoD people "act like punks", it's just the ones that think the are bad because they can move an analog stick and press button.

Wow. Here's a new thing. Someone's offended because of a generalization about a game he plays. Interesting commentary on a shift in society. Pretty soon a new term will be coined called something like "gamism" and we will have to be sensitive about what flavor of cartoon pastime our fellow man prefers.

DUDES! Unfortunately, this kind of crap happens on all countries and usually in all arenas. Normally, I have auto filming on myself but in the cases I don't, I quickly start recording as the rants and PM's aren't usually limited to just one burst. My usual responses are, "Sorry I missed that, there was a lot of local traffic stepping on you. Please say again" or "Was that supposed to be funny? Is that all you got?" I have caught a few individuals that way who have dog cussed me for killing them repeatedly and/or ones that have accused me of cheating. Mostly, I find it very amusing knowing their getting busted for it. Personally, I always play with headphones on. Mostly because when I have my speakers on, the neighbors call the cops thinking that a war has broken out in my house. :rofl I have noticed too that bad things are not limited to cursing. I have witnessed some gay bashing and ethnic slurs repeatedly being typed and spoken. I have my own beliefs about the subjects however, I respect other people as human beings and they have a right to live and love the way that they desire. The game is not a forum for that kind of behavior. I don't care if it is Knit, Rook or my fellow Bishlanders. I see it, I film and report it. I don't continue to engage the persons to fuel their fires for whatever agenda that they may have. I agree with others here that You are not "GOD" or whatever Deity that you believe in. You are not my Daddy, my Boss, HTC or my benefactor. I don't need a warning nor be told how to play the game. HTC has set forth rules and regulations to follow. Simply follow them and use the directed available means report the abusive behavior as described. Not here to tick anyone off, just putting in my $14.95 worth. :D

While I do agree with you on the bad language this post reads like a UN Resolution.

Those of you who think we parents should all play with headsets is a pretty lame suggestion. Either your trolling or you're completely blind to the fact that the person with the headset on my in fact be a child.

Yup, as if he has some sort of authority.

As an adult I try to watch my language, though I do let things slip sometimes on squad vox. Watch your language on range gentleman, and by all means do not tune direct to someone for a curse word filled rant. This is just absurd.

Im got a kick out of nemisis getting butthurt over the whole COD thing.. Don't take offense or anything. haha :lol

then you whould not like my squad vox its a say what you want kinda thing no rules etc most of the guys have headsets as i do :) but just mute the tard as i mute them when i get the PM of you blah blah whine whine whine
-
Work on your grammar before anything else.
Followed by...
Noone called...
Strikes me as kind of funny...
But anyway... If I found myself being bothered by the PM rants with foul language, I think I'd do the report thing, followed by an email to HTC describing the problem. I'm pretty sure that the report feature gives HTC the info they need, but an email probably wouldn't hurt.
-
Clone155, Your intentions are good man but as it's been pointed out several times already, simply auto record your flights, properly name them for cataloging, report them to HTC and then follow it up with a detailed email to HTC explaining the situation.
Good Luck,
:salute

i had one guy complain about a cuss i used "G" dammit. the very next day i useded it & got a 10 min auto mute. so i guess either he got allot of shades to multiply complaints or HTC will cave in to a loud whiner. :)

I'm not saying that it doesn't suck that a kid can't pop on here and just enjoy AH w/o hearing garbage. I guess I'm just not blind to the fact that language has not and cannot be policed on range. Sure you can report someone after the fact, but in the short time I've been playing, I have yet to log on w/o hearing rules being violated everytime on text and voice.
Would it be nice if it there was a more effective way than recording and reporting? Yes. Will it happen. No.
It may be upsetting to you and even HTC that the game has this element in it, but until its gone, I still think headphones would be the way to go if you don't want your kids to hear Dada's game buddies.
If you don't want your kid to hear that stuff while playing then don't let him log on...or he will.
-
Some of the worst language I have ever heared was from playing CoD.
SOME, not MOST. Ive played CoD 4 and WaW online by my lonesome, sure, theres not "perfect" language like some may like. but just like on AH you have an option to not listen to them. on AH, squelch, on xbox live, unplug your headset or click the mute button. I don't see how a game will ever have perfect language where people wont swear.

No Kids here.....But Language is supposed to be monitored anyway, and the slip or squad channel is one thing but to have someone tune to your private channel and use foul language just because he can. I don't let no man or woman talk to me like that in real life, I'm sure not going to put up with it here, and I don't expect any person would !!!!! It's not that bad language is being used it's how it's being used that I think the OP is trying to get at.
and your right, if you have small children I suggest head phones and its a shame they have to be used because of this reason.
-
I have a son and daughter, ages 10 and 13. They're probably past the "little kid" stage, but I've been playing for about 8 years so they were "little" when I started.
I can see why some would be concerned about "bad" language, even though I've found it to be pretty rare that it's bad enough to be a concern, IMO anyway. I wear headphones, so it's never been an issue in my house.
Beyond that, I do find a certain irony in the idea that it isn't ok to allow a child to hear bad language, but it is apparantly ok for them to watch/participate in a game that simulates shooting/destroying/killing... Even if the kids just see "pops" shooting the "bad guys", is that really better than having them hear/learn/repeat a "bad" word?
Given the choice, standing back and looking at the two as seperate, we might be better off to switch the two around. Allow the kids to hear/speak the bad language, but get mad if they're exposed to a bunch of people simulating warfare.
It would also be inconsistent for me to get mad if they're exposed to bad language while I play the game, when they'll likely hear the same language at school, at the store, and/or while dad's out "fixing" the car or paying bills.
And actually, having my kids hear it while I'm playing might be for the better. At least that way it happens in a situation where I can explain why some people think it isn't "appropriate" and why I don't think they should use language like that. If it happens when I'm not around, I don't have that option...
And beyond that, I think there's a certain "regional" or "social class" difference in how/what language is considered "normal" or "offensive". In my normal day-day life, a lot of "bad" language is the "norm". To not use it would stick out as much as it would if I did use it in other situations. I almost speak a different language when I'm at home or out in public, or with my parents. In game, the language I use on private vox with friends can be radically different than the language I use on "range" vox, or on private vox with people I don't know very well. That could easily give people I don't know a much better opinion of me than I deserve. A kind of "language disguise", hehe!

:huh. If you mean here as in this forum then OK. If you mean here as in the game then you are wrong. I remember this one guy in TITANIC TUESDAY who kept cussing over the VOX range thing. Pappy told him to shut up or something along those lines if I remember correctly.

I bet it does. Go train the finer Art of Picking. This was a troll from the onset, you snipe from sidelines like the OP to begin with. He already explained (if you weren't so dead set on singling me out) that he didn't have the time to roll film.
But wait, you enter the thread with a "joke" and get a couple of others to "laugh" at their own "jokes". You rule picker! :rock
Not to mention, you had to edit that post.

Troll? Nope, just pointing out the "pot calling the kettle black"... If you want to poke at people's use of the language, it kind of suggests you should use it properly yourself...

not the 1st time this leaf has been turned clone ! It's best when someone flips out on range / country or 200 , then crawls on BBS few moments later with tail between legs going " I'd like to appologize for acting like a colostomy bag earlier in the MA". I was upset you ho'd me , vulched me , ran ,out flew me,picked me,stole my kill etc ! Learn to love it clone it will not stop! Funny enough it's not the squeekers who are the problem it is our old wrinkled arses who act like jerks not the new kids on the block :noid

I have a son and daughter, ages 10 and 13. They're probably past the "little kid" stage, but I've been playing for about 8 years so they were "little" when I started.
I can see why some would be concerned about "bad" language, even though I've found it to be pretty rare that it's bad enough to be a concern, IMO anyway. I wear headphones, so it's never been an issue in my house.
Beyond that, I do find a certain irony in the idea that it isn't ok to allow a child to hear bad language, but it is apparantly ok for them to watch/participate in a game that simulates shooting/destroying/killing... Even if the kids just see "pops" shooting the "bad guys", is that really better than having them hear/learn/repeat a "bad" word?
Given the choice, standing back and looking at the two as seperate, we might be better off to switch the two around. Allow the kids to hear/speak the bad language, but get mad if they're exposed to a bunch of people simulating warfare.
It would also be inconsistent for me to get mad if they're exposed to bad language while I play the game, when they'll likely hear the same language at school, at the store, and/or while dad's out "fixing" the car or paying bills.
And actually, having my kids hear it while I'm playing might be for the better. At least that way it happens in a situation where I can explain why some people think it isn't "appropriate" and why I don't think they should use language like that. If it happens when I'm not around, I don't have that option...
And beyond that, I think there's a certain "regional" or "social class" difference in how/what language is considered "normal" or "offensive". In my normal day-day life, a lot of "bad" language is the "norm". To not use it would stick out as much as it would if I did use it in other situations. I almost speak a different language when I'm at home or out in public, or with my parents. In game, the language I use on private vox with friends can be radically different than the language I use on "range" vox, or on private vox with people I don't know very well. That could easily give people I don't know a much better opinion of me than I deserve. A kind of "language disguise", hehe!
This post is probably the most true of all the posts in this thread. I, as a teenager myself (17) believe that what it all boils down to is the parenting. While some parent are too overprotective of their children, there are also those who don't really care about their children or what they hear or say. I believe it is better to let your children around these types of things while they are young and still under the parents' supervision. That way the parents are able to, like MtnMan said, "educate" them on what is "right or wrong."
Another thing you have to realize, again as MtnMan said, is that if you think AH language is bad....go to your local high school, or even middle school. The language there is twice as bad as the language I've heard playing AH.

Let me just start by saying bad language will not be tolerated.
Tell the guy who is using the bad language! Do you think the people who attack you w/ foul language actually read these forums? I find that warning somebody once usually does the trick, here and in real life. If you are truly offended by this attack, just squelch.
The worst language I've heard online is from our squad channel, daily! If kids are around turn it down ahead of time.
If I feel like complaining about somebody, I first try and look at my bad traits/habits and how I can improve.
One of the funniest(disturbing to some) comments I've heard here is from a rook who will be named only as 'V'(rooks, you know whom I'm talking about) threatened another rook on range channel if "I see you on the street, I'll kick your @@@ing *a@@" along with 2-3 minutes of yelling and swearing. He does the swearing pretty much nightly and I've yet to say anything because I find it amusing. Is it wrong? Maybe/probably, but I'm not the channel police. If I saw somebody being talked to on the street I would probably step in to figure what's going on, but here it's more like a type of internet rage.(No real consequences)

Today I was PMed with voice and this guy started swearing at me. Now I will not tolerate anything of the sort since I had my speakers on. I reported him. I know people that play with speakers on with little ones near by, and I don't think they would appreciate it.
I will not go into detail of who it was, but heed this warning. If I see you typing bad language you will get ONE warning. If I hear it over range or channel I'll let it pass but if it is directed at some one I will report.
If you want to act like a punk then go play Call Of Duty. Respect the rules.
anyone wanna bet hes talkin bout drdeath???
im far from innocent and have accidently let some smaller swear words pass through on range channel however i fly with my headset on cuz i have kids also. i know that there are accidents that when your havin fun and sometimes things happen however tuning to someone privately to curse them out is bad on their part....i still say this is a drdeath signature! hehe

Betty,
I'm not a teatottler by any means and I have said dammit once or twice on the airwaves. However, on an open channel I do draw the line and keep it clean. It's the way I was brought up and while others might say they hear more in school as least I can say I'm not the one teaching them those words. A mess of sailors shooting da bull with each other in private (read priv chl) is different from being on an open line. I'm sorry to say that to PM someone cussing up a storm denotes Amercian Trailor Trash at it's finest (or should I say worst). Unfortunately, saying "if the shoe fits wear it" doesn't stop it from happening. Report it, squelch the dude, dudette or gal and move on.
I use a half headset so I have a mic and run sounds through some wireless speaker system and have em blasting. The good news is I'm not normally a big talker on 200. I kill em and move on. If I die I take off and go fight again. If they wanna whine I squelch em immedately and get on with my fun. Life is too short for those pinheads. :)

:huh. If you mean here as in this forum then OK. If you mean here as in the game then you are wrong. I remember this one guy in TITANIC TUESDAY who kept cussing over the VOX range thing. Pappy told him to shut up or something along those lines if I remember correctly.
I have no kids at home!!
