See Rule #8

Personally I think being able to tune to someone for VOX purposes only belongs in the training arena. As well a function as intended to be, All too often its used by someone who forgot to take their Ritalin.
-
Yup there are some real winners online. Next time voice report the perp. I'd also hit film record to get a copy to send in should there be any question to what was said.
Sorry you and your kids had to hear such drivel from an obvious loser.

last sunday i was listening to my local radio station preacher talking and my kids playing in living room listening to me play online, i shot down a player he tuned to me swearing his dumbarse off, my 5yr old daughter asks me daddy who was that? what he say? why? my boys-whoa dad! he said a bad word. geez i think hi-tech has to auto block cuss words, dam that was hardcore-i logged off immediately. next time i log on i will make sure i have my headset on. and for the puke who accused me of hitting my kids, i hope i don't run into you while i am hunting alaskan bears or whales :aok
sounds like old school Coronado, lol.
Dunno how you would "auto block" voice.

Not "auto-block" but make it un-tuneable to anything but 1-200. No "spiez!1!!" that way either. Or,at most, just 1-999.
You didn't really need to check your own vox anyway, did you?

It's a good tool for adjusting settings.

Learn to use the report function and film all your flights and our community can work together and have this sort of thing ended.

I've had the same thing happen to me on a couple of occasions. Fortunately there's no kids to overhear it here and fortunately these are few and far between.
I'd hate to lose player to player vox though. It can be very useful.
-
It's a good tool for adjusting settings.
They can add an option next to the microphone volume where you press a button and it plays back your mic input. I know a few games that have it, and I believe Ventrilo also has that option.

Sounds good. I know that how I sound in AH is different than how I sound when I test my mic with Vent or TS; the sound quality is better with the latter.

Yup any of yall that have heard me sing in game...... I have an amazing voice... but it sounds terrible in game. Just sayin..... :D

Greens,
First of all report immediately to HTC with your complaint. Second, give us a name so we can use weapons of mass derision on the worthless piece of trash. Sorry you had to experience this.

That is just wrong,what a moron. :furious

I think that stokes hit it right on the head. An approval option for voice tune would be a great addition. I would even support this addition for private text. Sometimes after I have shot someone down, I really don't care what the have to say to me.

I agree that is a poor display of behaviour, and just about as classless as could be. My larger question is this... You hunt Whales??

I know what you mean there, but a lot of times after a good fight where I get shot down, I like to discuss the fight or a move they might have made that was good or how I could have done better or whatever. I agree that it's easily abused, but it can also be a really good learning tool, and a good way to have a nice conversation with someone you havne't really met before.

Ive had the same thing happen to me a few times too with kids in the room or some very mean PM's sent to me by sore losers who feel the need to bash and curse and act like a spoiled child who just got his lollipop taken away.
I have only been playing AH for a couple months but it only took me one day to de tune 200 but i cant de tune PMs. Is there a way to turn them off or if not can this be done i don't like when my 6 year old comes in and reads some pretty sick stuff just sent to me via PM and then starts asking questions.
Ive of course reported them but none the less i would just like to have all PMs turned off just the same.

You can always squelch cross-country ya know of course you don't know when he's going to strike but as soon as he does squelch him im glad this game has squelch. :)

Buy a headset my friend and you will save your children from the damnation caused by your war game experience :eek:
No offence, but this is just the kind of game that ppl every now and then lose their better judgement in - and it is only understandable. Of course I too prefer the good manners but one must understand there are so many cultures and religions online at the same time, playing the same game their way that sometimes the worlds simply collide and you might actually hear some pottymouth talking the way adults do sometimes talk. To me its no problem - tho I usually fly this game so drunk I really can't but wonder who would want to let their kids to listen whats going on in the game anyways :confused:
Good manners benefit everyone, but flaming one incident in the image of a perfect religulous family moment that could be prevented by using simple gear... c'mon!

Green your not in the minority. I've personally had this happen only once, but when it did it was disturbing. I agree with the comments expressed in this thread, that feature belongs solely in the training arena.
I hope you just de tuned and ignored. Furthermore I would consider emailing HTC about the issue, being sure to include the name. HTC is quick to point out 'not valued customers', and I'm sure the said individual would fit that category quite easily.

I disagree Completely. Many times I have used this feature to fly with friends. Restricting this

THIS or one like it..
(http://www.gameguru.in/images/fatal1ty-gaming-headset-by-creative.jpg)
will solve all your problems with the family.
And make it easier to use vox too
At the request of my family
I got mine not because of the cussing. Here, as Lewis black once said. "The F word isnt a cuss. its a comma." and worse then that comes across on TV
But because they got tired of the house literally sounding like a machine gun blazing. Bomb exploding war zone.
We can argue verbal morals till we're blue in the face. And Im not condoning it But its not going to change the fact that someone is going to go off the deep end from time to time. And short of banning Vox outright. Thats not going to change no matter what rules are in place.
If your really that concerned about it. The best you can do is protect your family from the bad words by using a headset (Comes in handy when the wife talks to you too :rock )
And do what you probobly should have done in the first place instead of posting about it here. If its that bad. report it to HTC

Need to change the TOS to include the ability of HTC to fine the jerk $25.00 for each use of one of the 7 deadly words on vox other than squad.
I can see it now "honey why are there $700.00 worth of charges on the Master Card listed as potty mouth from HTC?", talk about wife ack.

-
2 things i think would fix this situation.
#1. Make private vox joinable, such as Stoke's Suggestion.
#2. Make VOX assignable to a different sound card or none. That way you can turn VOX completely off if you so desire, or can assign it to a headset so your friends/family can still watch you fly your planes (some kinds love watching ya fly :aok) without hearing other people and yet you still would not lose communications ability because VOX would be assigned to the headset.

Greens,
You play the victim real well. But I don't buy it and I think you are a fraud.
I seen you provoke nastiness on 200 and I have 1st hand experiance of your demenour. It's takes 2 to play and you are a willing provacative participant and I will say your actions are less than honest. You know what I mean.
Don't sit here and cry and ask for sympathy. You are not going to get it from me. Frankly, you talk too much for the game you have (or don't have). And if you are going to do what you do, then be smart enough to turn the sound down.
Pathetic....."Oh me the victim."

Confucious, if that person is not a provacatour, then his complaint has more credibility if taken up with HiTech and not in the BBS. However, he lacks credibility because of his past antics and thus perhaps negative karma got back to him. My argument is brilliant. :old:

And, by the way I've heard/seen you go off on vox as well as country and 200, I wouldn't be surprised if you DO hit your kids.... Also, you sure play this game a lot for having kids....
I've got two kids and can't get more than 45-50 hours a month if I'm lucky.. You've got 120 as it stands.. Month before that, you had 135 hours..
Apparently the game is practically full-time job for you.. Lay off AH and pay attention to your kids..
You are obviously spending way too much time here.. Especially when you are making up lies to get sympathy and playing the victim..

Amazing we've seen the way when someone being accused of hitting their kids is seen as a bad thing.
I've hit both my kids. Not often. And never without good reason. But often enough that they know I'll do it. this without question has prevented them from doing things some of the other kids in the area have done. Or repeating that same mistake again.
Some things a "time out" punishment just doesnt fit the crime. My son got whacked when he was younger for making playing with gasoline and matched in the local school yard.
My daughter. Got a swat on the bottom for biting someone
Both were justified.
Note I said hit. Not beat. There is a difference
The lack of true discipline in homes these days is a primary reason why we've now raised two generations of self serving undisciplined brats. Overweight, out of control and its all about "me" and instant gratification.
We see many of them right here.

I've hit both my kids. Not often. And never without good reason. But often enough that they know I'll do it. this without question has prevented them from doing things some of the other kids in the area have done. Or repeating that same mistake again.
Some things a "time out" punishment just doesnt fit the crime. My son got whacked when he was younger for making playing with gasoline and matched in the local school yard.
My daughter. Got a swat on the bottom for biting someone
Both were justified.
Note I said hit. Not beat. There is a difference
The lack of true discipline in homes these days is a primary reason why we've now raised two generations of self serving undisciplined brats. Overweight, out of control and its all about "me" and instant gratification.
We see many of them right here.
You discplined yours but the rest of us didn't so there is the problem? Come on Dred, folks have been saying that since the beginning of parenting. 99 percent of the kids out there are doing just fine. As one who has worked with the 'troubled' teens for the last 25 years and raised three of my own at the same time, I can tell you it's a small minority that are the 'problem' kids while the rest are doing it just like we did as kids and our parents did as kids, etc.

Am I the only one that feels that this sort of rubbish should not be of any concern to HTC?
They have provided the .squelch feature.... Use it.
If you're playing an game with ~+-300 people from all walks of life from all over the world... expect some 'adult' and 'uncouth' language.
Is it gentlemanly conduct? Of course not. Are all 300 people online likely to be gentlemen? No.
Some people are just bastids, sore losers and knobs in general.
Warn your kids or use your headset.
I try to conduct myself in a respectful manner at all times whilst online... but I know I've let a few f-bombs drop (usually in jest, not in direct confrontation).
It's your job to tell your children that bad language is inappropriate.
It's not HTC's job to prevent them from hearing it.
I'm not trying to be rude or anything... I'm just saying to all parents that the responsibility to censor the entertainment coming into your house lies solely your hands.
Don't blame others... take action for yourself.
If, for example, it's impossible to .squelch private vox comms... (I can't remember) that should be implemented... but that should be the extent of HTC's concern in the matter.

Why? Are the offenders that out of control? Does it make them feel grown up somehow? Do you think that if they were automatically ejected for bad language they still couldn't control themselves?
There's absolutely no reason why anyone should have to tolerate this.

I agree Oldman but, it will probably never stop.We can try though.

I think its amazing you guys are using a community of a flight sim to judge people....online persona is something a lot of people mess around with.. usually to get a rise out of people, or whatever else... :rolleyes:
I think private messages are hilarious.. I wish we had a forum dedicated to it.
If the people that PM'd me talked that way in real life, you'd think they would have had their teeth knocked in and would know better already ;)

I had a response. But decided to nix it.
This isnt the forum for this conversation. While my opinion remains unchanged. My apologies to all for bringing it up

Well, I'd say that they obviously don't control themselves and that perhaps they do syphon some gratification from cussing people out.
How could you ever eject people for bad language? Aside from sending in films and swearing in front of HTC employees, you cannot police spoken language.
Measures for policing written language are already in place.
And just to play the devil's advocate, swearing doesn't hurt anyone.
If you're offended by someone with a sailor's vocabulary, squelch them.
Of course, racial and ill-spirited remarks should not be tolerated... but the odd the f-bomb here and there.... what's the big deal?
If you don't want your kids to hear it you need to limit their access to public forums just as you would limit their access to a late night film.
Disrespectful conduct is not to be encouraged... but to expect others to A) live up to your standards and B) have those standards policed and enforced by others (who, frankly, do have better things to do) is a little unreasonable.
The rules are clear, written language censorship is in place and disrespectful treatment of other players is already dealt with through submitting films of the offending party to HTC.
What more do you want?
At the end of the day, some people are just 'axles'.... such is life.
[edit] Look ^, my language is already 'cleaned up' even though I used an alternative word for a 'rooster' found in the word 'cockpit' even though 'rooster' doesn't necessarily mean 'rooster' where I come from, if you catch my drift.
What more is there?

Why do you make this distinction?

Granted, it is was probably unnecessary... but I suspect we're coming at this from different angles.
Racial slurs are inherently offensive because they are designed to denigrate their subject.
General cussing along the lines of "oh, 'sh**'" is not inherently offensive. You find the offence for yourself, the word is not designed to be offensive to its subject. It's just crass.

swearing at sumone is not nice unless they fire first, and you can reup your putt-putt tempest and try to kill me again easy as that your not really dead, aces high is a game man not real life.

You've done exactly what you "complain against". "Fire first" that is, you've done just that many times. But I guess different rules apply when you do this?
You're also good buddies with DrDeath, Valdals, Tripl5 and those who cuss blatantly on Green Text, Purple Text and Range Vox Channel. Why are you "allowing one thing" and blatantly ignoring the other side of the coin which is far worse?

I have dibs on the silver/blue one with the white feathers and the puppy with wings on the top row.
:bolt:

lol buddies, val lost all hope in me after i dominated him in a 1vs1 and drsqueek i dumped him and tripl5 dumped him too you want them back? they are so available now.

People who do that crap have no business playing multiplayer games.
I understand why people want the tunable VOX removed and if it goes, it goes. I will miss it at times though as I have, on occasion, used it to chat with an opposing player about a particularly good fight.

Ohhh, no need to remove it. Easy fix is when someone wants to tune to your vox by using your name, you get a message asking you to accept or reject the connection

My question is can you always get it in Txt form??

I guess, same rule could apply there too.

indeed a vox system for PMs such as joining a player would solve a lot of the issues. And i say no to removing vox PMs for the very reason of a good fight, swap of info and players input is a good thing (someone also mentioned might make friends with people you wouldnt have normally talked to +1) but in the end run my squelch list gets started when entering an arena..be it low pop, high pop, or TT.. i know who go out of their way to pick a vox/text fight and squelch before they have a chance to ruin my day. and sadly i squelch more rooks then i do knits or bish.

turn off all cross country comms in the arenas cept for 200.... simple and way over due :aok

That is a bunch of BS. Who was it Greens? did he get reported and did you inform his CO. if you didnt please do so immediately. absolutely no excuse for someone acting that way.

just read all the pages and you will find out. it wasn't pleasant at all. i do not tune to someone and say that stuff. and you are right that is BS. <S> ezrhino <S> to you all who understand what this post is about.

I am just amazed that a child herd a bad word and didn't burst into flames I find it astonishing :bolt:
-
I guess, same rule could apply there too.
That basically removes it. I know my assumption would be the guy wanted to go off on a tirade if he was asking permission for a private test or audio link. As it is, I can open a private text line to him and the content of my text tells him I am not some raging a-hole who is steamed about getting shot down. I suspect I am in the great minority on that though, although I guess it could be a more common use than people think. I've never opened a private audio channel before.

Some of us like to talk to each other and are not wrapped up in the chess piece vs chess piece vs chess piece war.
I am here for the fights and when a fight is really good I sometimes like to talk to the other guy about his end of it as well. For the record, I have had really good fights that I won and that I lost.
-

Thank you, Karnak, for pointing this out. I lose most of my fights. Probably there's a very large percentage of AH players who are like me. We don't complain about it, much less complain in a nasty manner.
- oldman

I second your comments Oldman. I win some, I lose some. Some are spectacular, some are so-so. None of them rate a nasty dialog back and forth with another player. It's just not me to behave in that way. :aok
-

I dont care about the chess pieces. I dont think different sides should be able to talk to each other in the MA. <period>
You wanna fight and talk go to the DA.

Problem solver >> which ever country (Bishop, Rooks, Knights) Private vox from name, to accept type >>> .PV name <<<<
Need to have alternate .command for private vox text message, but HTC will not use it. ^^^^^ alter = .GU name = Grow Up or .BF name = Buzz Off <<<
These are my light side of dot commands reply text message for the Private Vox.
:lol :aok

Not need to talk smack to someone who shot you down. Use the newly developed Jet Tempest :x

Did you come up with that quote yourself :aok very true and very well said. I lose over 50% of the great fights I am in but one day I will win over 50% because of patience, perseverance, and practice. I once heard that you learn more by losing, then you do by winning.
-
I once heard that you learn more by losing, then you do by winning.
There is more to that than you may think. Some folks who win alot start thinking they know it all. Once you think you know it all you never learn another thing.
That goes for pretty much anything you do in life.
-

Yes sir it does!
Another quote that goes along with this is " a know it all knows nothing but whats in his own mind " I always took that as you are missing out on the vast array of knowledge out there if you ever begin to think that way. Keeping an open mind and the continuation of learning is the two things I've always tried to do. It's served me well so far in life.
