I know lately a lot of people have been muted in chat including me. But I know what I said and it was nothing offensive. I would like to ask to skuzzy and the admins if we could have more indepth guidelines of what's appropriate and what's not. Obviously Swearing out the word is not appropriate obviously, but what is appropriate and a mutable offense that's not the actual word For instance Abreviations etc. I know I got muted for say F!$% that and some others got muted for saying F that, so I ask how is that offensive? Surely it's not going to offend a young child because it's not even a word, it leaves it to the imagination it would be anything Freak that, Fudge that, etc. Which brings me to the next thing is that with all the muting it gives people who don't like other people to get them an excuse to report their nemesis for "abusive language" such as those above that aren't even offensive and anyone that does that is sorry to say is a jerk move. So can we get some more in depth guidelines of what's appropriate and whats not so we know what to avoid so we don't get muted for rediculous reasons.

Heheheh welcome to the "politically correct" world where the waterboys have taken over the world. HTC put in the "report" function for bad situations, the pc crowd have used it to advance their agenda, don't take personal and just stay off text an all will be well ;)
-
So when you said "F!$% that", what four letter F word were you going for?
BTW, you are the one giving them the excuse to mute you, not the system. Don't F anything...see how that works for ya! :aok

Agreed. :aok

It's not a word, so how is it offensive. infact how is the letter F offensive at all, like I said it could mean anything, fudge, frack, freak, frick. It's just rediculous how sensitive people are to the letter F. But if someone comes in and tells us that the Letter F or abreviations are no longer allowed that's fine, I'll avoid them, but just being muted for that is a little too strict especially since I didn't know that the letter F with asteriks "foul language"

If it meant any of those words you would most likely type them out. The only reason to use the letter "F" or "F#$%" is to hide a specific word because you know it's bad and will not fly. You deserve the punishment you received, end of story. Have a nice day! :aok

Here is a shovel, keep digging!
-
well if it's not appropriate then I'll avoid it, but how would I have known, so as I was saying before we need some regulations of what we can and can't say, such as the letter F or !$!# because it's SOOOOO offensive, last I remember Swear words were just that, actually "WORDS" :furious
-
How about conducting yourself with a slight bit of respectfulness at all times? It works wonders for me. Then you do not have to worry about where the line is, how close you can get to it, and where you cross it. :aok

I'd say BBS rules somewhat apply to arenas..
http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,229014.0.html
6- Posting pornographic or generally offensive text, images, links, etc. will not be tolerated. This includes attempts to bypass the profanity filter.
Take note of the enlarged type.
-
*edit* Whoops Bronk beat me to it. :)
-
Most of the profanity filters in the games I play actually filter words by doing this "!$%" so I never thought it would be offensive
-
IF you just would have done "$%^%!!!!!" it would have been fine. You however preceded it with an F, making it an attempt to bypass the filter.

Then just simply post what your meant and all will be good.

Uhh all the guys bashing the OP....
You realize that things like foook, fk, chit, etc which are more indicative of the word trying to be censored PASS the filter? Yet when the OP self-censors more of the word than these instances do... he gets muted?
Seems weird to me.
-
There are no guiedliness other than if you catch them in a bad mood, you are getting muted. That happens to everybody.
Soon enough you'll just laugh it's so rediculous.

Masked vulgarity is still vuglarity. Maybe when you get a little bit older you'll understand, until then enjoy your time out from chat, I know I will.

I have seen no one bashing the OP. He comes to the boards asking about something that he should be calling HT about.
The other words getting by does not make what he is doing right. If you'd like to see something similar..... try travaling with a couple of other trucks down the highway at higher than posted speed. Cop may pull just you over..... if you ask why he picked you, he'll probably tell you it's like duck hunting..... you can't get them all. :aok

Please point out where I bashed the OP. He asked, I answered to the best of my knowledge.

As far as bashing, that's the tone I read into everybody else's posts. It's fine if I'm wrong on that.
On the other hand... him not being right does not make it FAIR. And that's my point. If this happened to me, I wouldn't be angry at being censored but with all the other versions slipping by, especially in AH where these variations are COMMON and almost accepted as substitutes. Maybe I am taking my personal lens to what the OP was asking about, but that's how I see it.
And with the cop, it's a completely different situation. There's ONE cop and therefore he can only catch one person at a time. The profanity filter could easily catch at LEAST the common variations that I've mentioned in addition to the less obvious F!(%*^ variation.
Edit: the proper police analogy in this case would be IGNORING the guy driving at 150 mph while catching the guy driving at 70 mph but trying to slow down to the limit when he sees the cop.

They all get caught sooner or later.
If someone wants to play the word game they must expect it coming one day

Once again, you miss the point.
If it takes an equal effort to catch... say a killer or a speeder, who would you rather catch first? Obviously the killer.
Something obviously worse gets by while something obviously less harmful gets caught when it's just as easy to catch one as the other. Doesn't make sense. Justice may be served tomorrow, but that doesn't make today's treatment more just.

Any attempt to bypass is not acceptable, including the ones you posted. The rules are perfectly fair. They apply to all. The filter did not trip him up, the common judgment of people in the arena tripped him up. It is impossible to write a filter to catch all, so we have back up systems such as moderators and the report feature.
99% of the time someone comes here and post something like this, they are posting only the final statement that broke the camels back.
......
Skuzzy walks in my office after I typed above, and also was reading this but we had no knowledge of each other reading.
Skuzzy looked at the logs and muted him. And as I said about 99% of the time, I was correct.
Since you asked it was not what you state why you were muted, but many other incidences that showed up in the logs.

Ok, I got it. It's not the filter. No more complaints here.

Well drew... what were you looking for..a shoulder to cry on? When you have this type of problem it is better to call HT. These type posts never do well on the boards where they really do not belong.
-

Last time I'll write on this, especially since HT answered my concerns.
It's not IF you get caught. It's WHEN - before somebody who's a much worse offender or afterwards?
And no, not everybody is caught because not all of it is used in a context which offends people (i.e., squad chats for example, among friends who don't care). FWIW, I feel much better with HT's post and explanation - I mostly trust the reporting system when it's filtered through their judgement.

I would like to add to the wish list too include pictogram's for the text buffer like the ones in the forums for the benefit of those who can't write the written word with out getting in trouble. :neener: <----Like this one. :bolt:

Twizzty, would you report someone for typing or saying over vox "F that"?

Mr. Hitech, just a little observation I made the other day: The "s" word that usually is a substitute for feces or poop gets through the filter. I let it slip :o and never received any message like "Continued use of profanity..." After I read it I waited for a mute message but never got it.

A japanese squaddie of mine wondered what this PM was about, i reassured him it was a compliment on his technique lol.
However it just shows you can make your point without using profanities
(http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/gg211/sideburnjoe/stoddwhine.jpg)
-
Yep I remember that vaguely, I think he dropped down from his perch and ho'd me in a niki.(Your squad's good at picking with alt) He probably swore at me in Japanese because I had no clue what he was saying, I also said the same thing on 200.
Did he send you any of his pm's back to me?
:lol

They all get caught eventually.

Don't F anything
:eek: What!? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! :cry
-
This isn't a complaint really, I just find it amusing. A while back, I was chasing a Niki in Brew. I made a comment on 200 "Come back Niki, this Brewster will not catch you". VonMessa suggested on 200 I type /.<Something Not Terriblely Bad> . In a purely joking manner I typed "/.<Something Not Terriblely Bad> . Boom muted for 30min. Ok I broke the rules and was muted, no big deal. This is where I was amused. VonMessa who typed the exact same thing only got 20min of mute time.
I would think that if there shall be mods, shouldn't they be impartial?
-
Its all about showing a little bit of respect and consideration to those that you share the arena with.
We all have more than enough frustration and anger in our lives. So keep yours on your side of the monitor please.
None of us get enough respect, courtesy or consideration so please feel free to share all you can. Trust me, in time it will come back to you 10 fold.
-
I know I got muted for say F!$% that and some others got muted for saying F that, so I ask how is that offensive? Surely it's not going to offend a young child because it's not even a word, it leaves it to the imagination it would be anything Freak that, Fudge that, etc.
Do you really believe the first thing people will think is Freak that, Fudge that, etc.?
Please.
Even kids know what the F word is.
-
Twizzty, would you report someone for typing or saying over vox "F that"?
Na Stodd, I don't think I've ever reported anyone at all. I will normally just detune 200 or squelch ya if it's over the top.
I also won't come here and start a thread whine when I get caught circumventing the filter!
-
When I see a squad member land kills I tell them GFY, They say thanks....I tell somebody on 200 GFY they get mad....what the heck...all I know is that it's (G)ood (f)or (y)ou to not take typing so seriously.
-
Try Grats
-
But is saying thing such as F that or Fug or Frik bypassing? BTW I'm not appreciating everyone jumping and insulting me in here.
Why do you feel the need to even imply that word? Quite frankly, most don't want to hear it nor read it. As HiTech mentioned, it was a culmination of your log files. And yes, it is bypassing.
-
What I'm gathering from HiTech/general AH policy...
Bypassing is fair game for reporting, but it's up to your peers in the arena/BBS to decide what passes for abuse and what doesn't and actually DO the reporting. And after that, it's up to HTC to decide whether you deserve a mute.
So if you get muted, not only do you have to piss somebody off in the arena, but you have to be abusive enough for HTC to decide your behavior warrants a mute.
Personally, I think that sounds fair. Under this system, if you get muted, you pretty much deserve it.
-
Rule of thumb:
Would you say it to your Mother?
If you tell your Mother or Father or boss "F that" are they ok with that?

I said something in this vein the other night (wasn't a directed insult or anything, but 'masking' nonetheless)....about 30 seconds later, got the little popup window saying buh-bye text for 10 minutes...obviously a human saw it...concluded I needed to be muted for it...was deserved

I think a warning and a 10min- timeout is fair also, but a warning first. Secondly, talking trash in the dueling arena isn't smart. Do you really have to talk trash flying into furball lake? Did you think it was going to be a fair fight? :rolleyes: It's nice too all these backseat administrators giving the noob a hard time. :D
Kinda wish that report system would be dissolved. And emplement a better squelch system, hense perma squelch!
Guess that's for the wishlist, yet Santa won't bring it this Christmas. :cry

Try that in communist China. Next time, maybe ask a question or two before going off and assuming the worst case scenario and insulting us. Your choice. Or you can chose to continue and end up losing your privs to this bulletin board. It is all about your choices.

You are in early today Skuzzy.
I was gonna post about the "contact HTC re: abuse" but ya' beat me to it.
actually, the best way to not get muted..........talk as if you were talking to a priest, a nun, or a kid.
Great rule o' thumb Cap. I always use "would I say it in front of a kindergarten class".
The BEST way to not run afoul of being moderated is to not put yourself in that position in the first place.
There is a player who will remain unnamed who constantly blames me for getting muted. He would start an argument with me and invariably starts personal attacks on me choked full of profanity. To this player it is MY fault because I MAKE him type such things when we argue.
Now, I am not 100% blameless in this. I do engage this player in a little verbal "tête à tête", so I do shoulder some of the blame for us having an argument. I should just .squelch them right off the bat because I DO know better and I know how it is going to end. (many times I do just .squelch, but unfort. not always) I might add that having an argument with this player is akin to picking a fistfight with a senior citizen quadriplegic.
So I own the fact that I am egging this player on to some small degree. But it is not my fault that they type what they do. There really is not a good valid excuse to use profanity in AcesHigh, masked or otherwise. I did not reach through the internet and force this player to type bad words. Nobody in this game can MAKE another player use profanity.
So next time think before you type/talk. Would you type/say that in front of a classroom of kindergarten students?
See Rule #4
Insult them back all you want. Just don't use profanity and keep it light.

Ha.. your way off the mark there.
I couldn't care less what you do as long as you keep it civil and are not trying to ruin the game for others.
There are some groups out there that will mass report though for no reason what-so-ever. They can get in trouble for doing that too.

That would be kinda hard to prove. Not like they leave DNA evidence or crime scene video of them talking to each other on team chat.
There are two teams that hang out in DA. They have laid claim to two countrys. They pitch out insult after insult from their two teams to anyone who does not fly by 'their rules'. It is constant and non-stop abuse. But I'm sure they will lay low for a while since people they don't like are getting silenced. They got what they wanted after all. Why not just give people a way of turning off the chat box (or perma-block as someone else requested) so we don't have to read their non-stop insults while we are trying to play a game.
Some other ways you could stop the constant chat abuse in the DA is to make the program not allow any head on shots, no shooting allowed unless you are over the lake, no shooting unless you are in same exact plane as your opponent, no shooting if more than two planes are within 1k of each other, no shooting unless you are same altitude as your opponent, no shooting unless you ask permission from the opponent and all his team members first. As long as the program allows these type kills, I will assume they are legal kills and I will report 100% of the abusers from now on.

I'd like to see a permanent squelch function though sure enough. There's a few guys in the game that just don't have anything to say that I want to hear or see, nor are they likely to in the near future and having to squelch them on each relog is needlessly tedious.

That would be kinda hard to prove. Not like they leave DNA evidence or crime scene video of them talking to each other on team chat.
There are two teams that hang out in DA. They have laid claim to two countrys. They pitch out insult after insult from their two teams to anyone who does not fly by 'their rules'. It is constant and non-stop abuse. But I'm sure they will lay low for a while since people they don't like are getting silenced. They got what they wanted after all. Why not just give people a way of turning off the chat box (or perma-block as someone else requested) so we don't have to read their non-stop insults while we are trying to play a game.
Some other ways you could stop the constant chat abuse in the DA is to make the program not allow any head on shots, no shooting allowed unless you are over the lake, no shooting unless you are in same exact plane as your opponent, no shooting if more than two planes are within 1k of each other, no shooting unless you are same altitude as your opponent, no shooting unless you ask permission from the opponent and all his team members first. As long as the program allows these type kills, I will assume they are legal kills and I will report 100% of the abusers from now on.
First off HTC can review the chat logs of the DA. Secondly the team chat option I'm sure Skuzzy can also see that text as well, if not your recored video footage would be sufficient.
As far the the two teams from two different claimed country's- the bases cann't be captured :lol had to throw that one in there. I've been in the DA now for 9 months and I don't recall seeing your name in there and after 15,000 sorties I would seem to think I would. But's lets say you do go in there WHY? All these complaints why do you go in there, makes no sense. If your not having fun or enjoying the game why are you not in the MA.
The DA has changed alot over the past 2 months. It use to be a fun furball but it's not anymore. Maybe be a good thing I don't know but I've switched to flying in the MA and have joined up with the Pigs. I got alot of friends in the DA so I will fly there on occasion for catching up purposes.
I'm sure with your computer skills you can design that program your talking about and I'm sure Skuzzy will take a look at it for implementing it. No, but on a more serious note the lake is going to be the lake until they take it away. Taking away the lake might not be a bad thing and making the side fields inviteable only. The side fields are the dueling fields. I got into a few 1on1's over the past week in the lake but it was either early morning or out on the shoreline of the lake. Your not going to get a 1on1 in the lake at peek times without someone jumping in ___line.
A redesign of the DA that Ranger was talking about would be nice. Do I look for it in the future no, but it would be nice. :salute

You probably just grew out of it. The DA has been a cesspool at least since they killed H2H a couple of years ago.

Taking the DA away is not the answer many people like the fast fights.Many would leave the whole game,all the DA needs is a make over add perks and the F3 mode.
By perking many would stop the hoin that started the big down fall of the DA thats all 60% can do by perkin they will think twice maybe.

See Rules #4, #6.
If you have been a victim of a mass .report grief, all you need to do is email Skuzzy and he'll remove the suspension and punish those that griefed you.
See Rules #4, #6
The best solution would not say things that would get you chat suspended. Simple solution. I know, you'll reply back that you've been griefed but from your post, your attitude clearly shows that you're probably deserving of any suspension. You probably have the false belief that you can say what you want under 'freedom of speech'.
See Rule #4
You don't play this game very much do you? Cross country chat is available in the MA, just as it is in the DA and that's not even a problem nor your idea is a viable solution. Unlike voice converstation, there really is no excuse for vulgarity outburst in text chat.

Please stop showing your ignorance. HTC has logs they can check to see to verify whether or not the suspension was warranted or not. Honestly, how did you survive as long as you did?

If you don't like what is being said, use the .squelch command. It is there for a reason, it's your choice to use it or not.

Maybe, theres some good duelers in the Da but for the most part your fights are w/ newbs. I'm ready for the next competition, remember the show early days :lol
