I keep reporting (with the report feature) guys using 4 letter words in chat and voice. And I mean they are really going at it. For some reason they are still chatting away the next day, and the day after that.. still cussing up a storm.

Instead of .report, take a screenshot and send it to support@

What so you keep reporting these guys without warning them? and unless its directed at you i cant see it being offensive so why would you report them?
Ill admit i sometimes use shorter versions of swear words but its not usually directed at anyone so whats your problem? its a online game and cutting swearing out all together is damn dear impossible mate.

Fury I dont think you read the buffer or you dont have young kids around at all. My nephew loves to drive the tanks but no way am I letting him anywhere near AH online. I myself have been cussed up oneside and down the other for making an excellent kill on certain guys that cant handle being handed their posterior. Most of the offenders will say the people that dont like it need to grow up but in fact its them that need to grow up and man up and start using their brains for more than filling out their skulls. Cussing demonstrates poor ability to think and very poor judgment and extremely poor communication skills.
All I want to hear from anyone is 'Nice shot' 'Check six' (which I find I most often do not need) and 'save the fat chick for me.' Occasionally its nice for someone to ask 'mind if I kill this guy?' or 'can you give me a hand here?' but otherwise chatty kathies need to cut the chatter. :aok

I don't condone profanity on the country channel. You don't know who's on the end of all those screens and you don't know if their using speakers or head phone.
A simple messure of respect for those around you isn't asking the earth.
Like my dear ol Grandad used to say "Don't swear in polite company". It's an easy doctrine to adhere to chaps.
and yes... dot squelch knobhead :D works until the powers that be cure the repeat offenders.

A The Report function is designed to be used as a community. One person hitting someone with a report will have no immediate effect, it is a cumulative effect. Several people using report on a person over time will eventually trigger a LONG mute.
B abusing the report function can boomerang back onto you if it was not justified, or if your squad or group used it unjustly. Then all those who abused it will suffer the fate of those they attempted to pin it on unfairly. Don't use it in anger, or to get even.
C Film, screenshots sent to support@hitechcreations.com does get looked at and dealt with. You may not get a response, but it is not buried, ignored, or forgotten.
To Mr Bipolar, with all due respect sir, no squelch does not work as well.
Granted it will remove the aggravation. But Squelch is sticking your head in the sand, not removing the problem.
However considering how often you've run afoul of such controls yourself it doesn't surprise me that you gave that answer.
It all comes down to respect and consideration for those sharing your airspace.
<S> Lynx, Challenge well said sirs.

I totaly agree with you chalenge, and my 10 year old son likes to watch sometimes which i dont mind until there is bad language chatter going on then i simply have to ask him to stop watching, my point was online games have a lot of foolish idiots on them and it is no place for a young kiddie to be hanging out, i understand the OP`s problem and i admit it is a problem but i find some of these people myself (very rarely do i swear) included will stop the swearing if you ask politely for them to cut it out. Also you have to bear in mind there is a lot of young people under the age of 15 that play it and they dont care about whos on the other end.
Just reporting them will not stop it as someone has already said. Maybe we need a perma squelch i dont know the solution. If someone is swearing ask them to stop or tell them you have reported them for it because until HTC gets in touch with the reported person they have no clue they have been reported or anyone is even upset about it.
I too have been cussed while my 10 year old was watching me play i told the person they were out of order and if they carry on i will report them because my son was watching i got a apology and the swearing from that said person stopped.
:salute

Only happens every now and again m8 most of the time im respectfull and if i do offend anyone im the first person to apologise, and i never do it on Country channel only channel 200 which if you have kids nearby is deffinatly a no go area so im not as bad as others. Also id like to point out not once have i ever cussed anyone using voice! that is worse than typing it in my opinion.

Save it for squad vox.

look kid. its a game, and not once have i ever seen someone not talk smack or rant over a game. (unless it was the new barbie game for xbox, but im sure some little emo girl will be sticking her figure down her throat after todays dinner) but thats not the point. The point is, you have GROWN men on a game that some do drink and have a good time on. And they dont believe the same way you do. They're going to let f bombs out left and right. Either get use to it or simply squelch them. The only way it will EVER be stopped is if HT takes range vox from all, and seriously works the word filter. So either turn a deaf ear, squelch or keep crying about it.

It stops being a game when cussing is brought in especially when someone shows the incredible lack of intelligence it takes to type it out and then hit the enter key. On squad channel its your problem how to handle it but in the open you deserve what you get in return.

You can sit and try to be politically correct all you want. But the harsh reality of it is. Grow men half lit = foul language. And tempers do get heated. Things will be said no matter what you do. Cant mute the whole arena.Unless HT bans all text except squad. It wont stop. You can get rid of a 1, but 2 will take his place. I could care less what others do. I have my own life and game to play. I dont concern myself in others business. I just Squelch.
I would say, give certain people arena eject rights. But we all know how biased the text mods are. That would be a nightmare

You are assuming things you have no knowledge of and I submit it imparts upon all of us certain knowledge of your true character (in other words no sympathy concerning your position). The entire arena does not cuss so implying that is just wrong of you and a misrepresentation to support your argument. Until this is handled (and handled consistently by the entire community) it will be unsafe and unwise to allow even young teenagers to watch let alone to play this game. Just because some people have been led astray by 'reality' as you say does not mean its acceptible. I assert such individuals are not 'men' at all.

thats the issue bud. Some are born ignorant, others need that helping hand to become that way.

So if one person reports another for a sickening, racially charged string of insults probably nobody will do anything? Or probably even see it? But if one of our generals get his entire squad of followers to report somebody for saying "crap" then it will get noticed?
Maybe we'd all be better off if the bottom of the pile was read first.
Somebody has to say something totally ignorant for me to report them now anyways. From what I can see the system basically protects these loud mouthed fools. It must cause they survive in various incarnations for so long. And if your not in a squad, or cant get 30 others to report with you, then why even bother?
Im not even talking channel 200 here. Im talking about the fools who will say their ignorance on the vox.

Unfortunately I have to agree with Bipolar.
While it may not be desirable. And while it doesnt bother me in most instances. I certainly dont condone it.Its going to at least occasionally happen no matter what you do. And thats just the harsh,ugly reality of it.
The entire arena doesnt cuss...consistently. But it is a very safe bet to say that a great deal and even most of it does...occasionally. Particularly on Vox.
Right or wrong I know of very very few of even the normally best behaved people who havent let one slip now and again in the heat of the moment.
I know of very very few perfect angels in the game. Including some of the nay sayers I see posting on the subject on the boards.
Curious how you figure it would be unsafe/unwise for young teen to play the game? Exactly what is it you think your protecting them from that in all but very few cases they arent doing themselves when out of their parents earshot?
Little kids say for example 11 and under. I could buy into. But after 12-13, odds are they are using it themselves. Its just that their parents dont hear them using it.
Now Im not condoning kids using that language either. but if anyone has a kid/s 12-13 and up and thinks their "kid doesnt talk like that ever"
Unless they keep their kids within earshot 24/7 or keeps them locked in their room. That parent is probably being pretty delusional.
But then again. Most parents dont like to believe their kids are anything but near perfect angels anyway.
As an example. A couple of years ago I got into this very discussion with a lady I know. while walking to pick my kid up from her friends house and she was headed to the park to pick her kids up. She claimed her 13& 14 year olds "never used curse words" I laughed and said basically what I've said here. But she was insistant that "we dont talk like that" As we neared the park we hear kids yelling. Low and behold its her kid yelling at another kid "Thats such B%## S!#^*! Your a real @ hole Kyle!"
I smiled. looked at her now deeply reddened face and said "You were saying?"
"Well..they would never talk like that in front of me."
"exactly my point"
Not condoning it. And we can even condemn it. But young teens cuss. Thats just the reality of it.
Likewise in the arenas. We can condemn it all we like. Using whatever argument we like. And be right in doing so. And in a perfect nice nice world with perfect nice nice people,we could expect that most if not all people are going to behave correctly 100% of the time. But in the real world in which we live and play. The harsh reality of it is that the majority of people are imperfect at best, and people are going to let one slip once in a while no matter what safeguards are in place short of no text and no vox for anyone.
Another reality is that the vast majority people simply dont care enough to report such activity with any regularity on anything but prolonged profane rants. which honestly while is much more rare, is the greater problem.
But even then its safe to say that when witnessing such activity in an area. only a handful will bother to report it. So expecting the entire community to start reporting even the occasional infraction just isnt realistic
However I do witness people in the arenas taking care of people who rant in a prolonged manner in other ways. I've seen people get chastised over vox so badly for ranting. That the person either apologized,shut up, Went to another part of the arena. Or logged off.
In the extreme cases from what I witness. The arena usually does a pretty good job of taking care of itself

No. Thats just wrong. Everyone here has the ability but some of them lack the self-control or any desire to work on self-control. All the smack-talking doesnt help either it just encourages more filth.
And if you really believe that every child in this world cusses and hangs out with kids that cuss then you hang out with and surround yourself with the wrong element. There are better people in this world that do not surround themselves with it. Rather than continue to fill your world with trash why dont you try to make a difference and start policing your neighborhood for the better?
Everyone deserves a little hope and the chance to rise above.
If you cant bring yourself to do that then you will never grow up.
I really would love to see all text gone... as an experiment just for one month... except for help channel and squad. Alerts and IB con information could be changed to host commands... but I realize that there are some people that get their thrills be assaulting little boys with the thrill of cussing and other trash talking and they would probably leave. All the better I say.

All kids. no. MOST kids. yep. You can have your little fantasy that it is otherwise. But I can say with 100% certainty that unless your living and locked away in some sort of commune. At some point in time, your in for a really really rude awakening.
There may indeed be "There are better people in this world that do not surround themselves with it" but they are by FAR the exception and not the norm.
Now Im not saying its right. What I am saying is what it is
Never said it was right. And im not dissagreeing with your position on this subject in regards to the game.
Only that your putting forth an unrealistic expectation.
For it to happen. More people have to care then people who dont.
Look at this thread. I just did a quick tally and giving people one post each, breaking it down into posts that would be considered anti language. and those who obviously just dont care.
The ones that dont really care all that much. if at all. Outnumber your position 2-1. I'd say that in the arena's those odds get even worse unless its a prolonged rant.
Me. Most of the time it really doesnt bother me and my kids hear worse stuff just turning on Network TV or going outside. Its not a huge issue with me unless its prolonged at which point I have reported a couple of people.
But in what. 7-8 years now I think I've maybe reported 3-4 people (Wow. time does fly)
But I think you and I may have had this debate before at least once. I know I've had it several times.
Are you any closer now to silencing the potty mouthers or getting the masses to regularly report them then you were when you first started? As is evidenced by this subject that keeps cropping up. I'd say "no".
c'mon man. cops have a hard tie getting people to turn in criminals unless they personally were robbed. You really think your going to get the masses here to regularly report people for saying a few bad words?
Now you may very well be the perfect manly man man. And if it makes you feel better to report everyone you see violating the language rules. By all means ,have at it.
But if you really think the masses are going to somehow start reporting everyone. Or that we wont be having this debate again.
heh, Good luck with that. Hasnt happened yet.
I agree with you and HTC in principle. And as a matter of principle your probobly right to strive to acheive your wishes. Anything less would be to simply throw up their arms and give up. Which they obviously also cant do.
As a practical point though I just dont realistically ever see it happening

It is possible to set forth rules with your children and to see them adhered to. That you have not done so and failed as a parent is where you are today. That is why you have fallen into the 'I dont care' department. Now you are pulling the rest of the people here with you (whether you say you agree with the principle or not) into this mindset and its just to mkae yourself more comfortable with your choices. You are part of the problem because you lowered your expectations.

Sure its possible. With a normal amount of children. If I had 600 children. Then I'd say that the possibility of all of my children following my rules is somewhere between slim and none. Its simply not a realistic expectation.
But even without so many children I very well know that occasionally my rules are gonna get broken.
Do your kids never ever break any of your rules?
I've not "Fallen" into anything. I've always not cared. It simply isnt that high on my list of priorities. I'd much rather concentrate on protecting my kids from real danger then the faux danger of hearing bad words. Which is an effort in futility.
Failed as a parent? lmao I dont think so. No not even close. My son now 21 is about to graduate Rutgers. And my daughter 12 is a straight "A" student in all but one Class. By all accounts people tell me how impressed they are with them typically saying they are "well disciplined" and "respectful". I've never known my son to cuss in inappropriate company. And I've never heard or known of my daughter cuss at all. Does she when she's with her friends? I have no idea. I havent heard her. And nobody has reported it to me. But I dont implant electronic bugs on my daughter to eves drop to their every word either.
But low and behold. My kids have and are turning out just fine despite being exposed to bad words. They havent started running around like a bunch of animals abusing anyone and dropping F bombs all over the place.
Failed? Not hardly. My kids are just fine.
Im not part of the problem because I have no problem.I recognize that I can only control what I say or do. not what everyone else says and does.
And that people are imperfect. I also recognise that I cant realisticaly expect that people are going to live up to my standards.and certainly not 100% of the time. Its just not going to happen.
So for me I have no problem because for me there is no real problem because there is no real danger. Never known a word to physically hurt anyone
YOUR the one with the problem.
My expectations arent lowered. Their realistic. You see I prefer to deal with the real world rather then some fantasy on how the world should be.
Now you can sit on your high horse all you want playing Mr. Self Rightous. But if you actually believe the rest of the world is going to bow to your wishes/likes/ dislikes. Or if you think people are going to try to live up to what your opinion of being a "man" is or isnt.
Then your completely and utterly delusional because no matter how much you whine about it the world isnt going to change.
-
Let me ask you something.
Do you honestly think that anything you, or me. Or even HTC has to say about it is going to change anything?
-
Its not about saying drediock thats what you dont get. Its about conduct and setting an example. You will never win the argument because the rules have already been established and you condone violating that rule. Worse you have already decided you are on the wrong side of the fence which is why you slipped into the 'insult mindset' and let go with the 'Mr Self Righteous.' You know you are wrong. Curse words are abusive emotionally vulgar of class and irreverent of your host (and Im not talking of religion here). Your mouth can either build up or tear down an individuals self-esteem or the same with their regard for you as an individual. I for instance have lost all respect for you as an individual (what little you had already earned) for taking the position you have. To me and people like me for you or anyone to cuss is the same as spreading malicious gossip or lies about anyone. Its the same as berating an individual for who and what they are or what they stand for. Cussing is an assault on character and implies your impudence as a customer over all other customers. Furthermore it demonstrates a complete lack of intelligence with an inability to construct a more viable argument without the negativism. People that lack the wit to construct a more reasoned argument turn to curses as a way (unwittingly) to emphasive their points but in fact it detracts from their argument and comes across as unreasoned. Cursing is not an art to be admired.
What you call realistic is a modified expectation due to your failures. You have given up the ability to make reasoned and intelligent arguments by taking on the character of a man that emphasizes his expressions with negativism. You have in fact shut yourself off from the ability to perceive of things as they should be and accepted mediocrity. I believe you deserve better but it is up to you as an individual to seek improvement and none of us can do it for you. However we can use 'tough-love' and shun those of you that curse as if you were a discarded shoe. When you grow up and become a true adult we can accept you back in the fold but you have to earn respect and right now you have just given it all up. This is what 'community policing' is.
Have a nice day.

When you grow up and become a true adult we can accept you back in the fold but you have to earn respect and right now you have just given it all up. This is what 'community policing' is.
Have a nice day.
Your the one who started the insults by your condescending posts and your deciding whom is a "man" and whom isnt among other things. Want me to go back and list the insults youve thrown out in this thread?
"You are assuming things you have no knowledge of and I submit it imparts upon all of us certain knowledge of your true character"
"Here you are trying to save face and make yourself look all grown up... but your a child when it comes to self-control and you know it."
"If you cant bring yourself to do that then you will never grow up."
"That you have not done so and failed as a parent is where you are today."
So lets cut the self rightous nonsence about resorting to insults as though you can claim some moral high ground on insults.
And BTW declaring victory or someone elses defeat doesnt make you victorious. It might have worked when we were 8 or 9 years old. but not so much when your older no matter how fancy you try to phrase it.
There is no argument to win. Because your not going to change people no matter what rules are in place.
A year from now this same type thread is going to come up and your going to make the same type argument. Just as has been done time and time and time again.
I've seen these same debates going on all the way back into Airwarrior. And whats changed? Not one thing
I wasnt insulting you. I was speaking the truth about you. Your living in a fantasy world. Sorry to break it to you but people arent ever going to live up to your expectations. Especially en masse.
You want to play tough love. have at it. Report everyone for all I care. Thats your prerogative. And the tools were put in place for you to do so. But if your expecting everyone to care as much as you do and join in. you are in fact. Delusional. because most people again, unless its some long drawn out profane rant. Just dont care. Or dont deem it important enough to bother with
If they did. This subject would never come up.
I can see things how they should be. And on that front I have already said I agree with you. But how things should be and reality are two completely different things. I deal with the real world. Not the world as I think it should be. Nothing at all to do with my failures. I dont as to how I've "failed" at anything. What. Because you say I "failed" I have?
Gimme a break.
Im supposed to care how much you respect me? Or if you dont? why?
You going to pay my bills? Do I have to go home and live with or sleep with you tonight?
You somehow view yourself as being more special then anyone else? Your nothing. just someone I occasionally debate with here on the boards or see in game.
the day either of us leaves Im sure we would notice for all of about a day. Probobly less
I dont come here to play language police. I come here to have fun. If I have to start worrying about what everyone else is doing then Im not having fun. Im working.
If there is a prolonged rant. yea I'll report it. But Im not going to make myself crazy reporting every slip up. Its not worth it And I understand that whenever competition is involved. Emotions and tempers are involved and people are going to slip up occasionally right or wrong. Its human nature.
now maybe you have perfect self control at all times. (though I doubt it) but most people do not.
and to have hundreds of people playing a competitive game and expecting everyone to mind their P & Q's all the time. Is just not a realistic expectation no matter how much you argue to the contrary. It is at best. Fantasy
You would have better luck trying to sprout a third arm.
But hey. Good luck with that..really

I seen mention of a word filter in a post on this thread? Why don't they get that going better? say give someone 2 or 3 warnings and if they don't stop,boot em for a day or 2,bet that stops some of them. I can cuss with the best of them,real life at a bar or around friends every other word out of my mouth is a "F" bomb,but that's among adults who talk the same way.in on-line games I don't see the need for it,because you never know who is on the other end of that screen. Kids don't need to see that kind of talk even though I'm sure most either talk like that or hear it everyday out of their friends mouths,especially in a game like this where I think "MOST" are pretty intelligent :aok

The military has a new article of UCMJ which says you can be punished for using profane language....I think its crap especially in my field where you only work with guys day to day :salute

I've already raised my kids, it's not my responsibility to raise everyone else's kids.
I agree with Drediock, there are certain standards I hold my kids to, and would love to see everyone else do to, but I live in the real world and understand it ain't going to happen. I have my own life to live and I'm not going to waste it by trying to educate the populace on good behavior.
Chalenge, if you think you can straiten out the behavior of today's society, you can go ahead and give it a try, but if you really believe it's going to happen your living in a dream. I remember some other guy who thought to have all the bright, well bred, "beautiful" people be the the top of his society, the rest would be the underlings, the scum, the unworthy. His name was Hitler.
Community/society/FAMILY can not be an "all or nothing" deal, it's is a mix of the good the bad and the down right ugly, it's how we handle our selves among all of those differences that makes us who we are. What comes across as a "pompus attitude" shows more a lack of intelligence in what your writing than the opposite. Just because you believe its true isn't going to make it so. You "believe" Dred has giving up on society by not getting involved. I believe Dred has taken care of his corner of the world, much as I have, and understand what he can and can't do in relation to the rest of society.
Sure it would be great if no one ever swore, or tricked their way around the filters, but it's isn't going to happen. Much like your P51 isn't going to climb to 5k as fast as my 38, it just isn't going to happen.
-
Your the one who started the insults by your condescending posts . And whats changed? Not one thing..
Its real simple Dred... you act like a child you are a child. Being unable to control yourself... childish. Being so completely into denial about your own character to the point you defend your actions even against the 'rules of the house'... the damage you have done to yourself runs deeper than you know.
Grow up.
Fugitive: Priceless comparison to Hitler there. Classic case of no intelligent response too. Well done!

And again you talked about slipping into the insult mindset. Yet you've repeatedly proven yourself to be no better and certainly no more "grown up" then anyone else. And you use being on the so called "right side" of the argument to justify your insults. Sorry kid. It dont work that way.
In fact. You've even run out of arguement altogether.
I control myself just fine. To the best of my knowledge in the time I've been here I've never been muted. So I couldnt be all that terrible. For the most part I personally do follow HTCs rules. Both here and in the game. Even if I dont agree with them. But it isnt me or you we're talking about here.
And its not my responsibility as Fugitive said to raise someone elses kids or to play language police.
And while I wouldnt compare you to Hitler. that is a bit of an overstatement. I would agree in Fugitives statement on the general attitude you show .
Im grown up plenty. You perhaps need to learn to and teach your kids to survive in the real world, and not some fantasy realm you obviously dwell in. Thats traditionally moms job. Otherwise I really hope your into disappointment cause your in for plenty of it.
Bottom line. Rant all you want. Whine all you want. Use insulting names and statements all you want.
But your not going to change the real world to meet your Disney Land standards.
I have thousands of years of humanity to back me up. It hasnt happened yet. And I highly doubt that its going to change in the near future either.
All we've become is more technologically advanced. What we havent become, is any less profane. Pick up a newspaper sometime. THAT'S the world you need to prepare your kids for. Teaching them to be good decent people is fine and the "right" thing to do. But you better also ready and strengthen them for the ugly real world as well. Other wise yea, someones mouth is going to tear down their self-esteem. The real world is going to steamroll them.
In game. Much to its credit the community does a pretty decent job policing itself. More often then not the occasional slip goes on and gets let go.
But my observation is that if someone is being unfairly attacked or severely berated. When profane rants become excessive. I've seen people in the area usually mercilessly torment or tear the offender a new one. And realisitcally speaking.
Thats about the best you can hope for because thats the best your ever gonna get.

Facts are facts dred. You are STILL going on defending your position about breaking the rules Hitech set as host of AHII. You believe the priniciple is sound yet you do not believe the reality coincides with the value. No it is you that cannot except that anyone can live outside of your realm. You are far from grownup and in telling you that I am not insulting you but merely informing you of your deficit. The fact that you do not see that as it is offered implies the problem is even more severe than it appears. You obviously do not care to improve yourself or those around you and you deserve to be shunned.
I know there are two 'types' of players online in AHII. They are the people that smack talk on 200 and then there are those that tune it out. I feel the game would be much better off without chat altogether but we do need some mechanism for communication. It is too bad even some adults cannot be grownup enough to police their own actions and so yes they deserve what they get (even if for the most part it is limited to the squelch command). I would love to see the 'mute stick' brought into the late war arena more often but the automated mute idea doesnt seem a very good idea because of simple mistakes that would be inevitable. However it has become more and more frequent for noobs to come in and be introduced to curses and 'shortcuts' and then they are out to repeat it everytime they have the chance.
You are not helping the situation and you are not a good role model for AHII or online behaviour and neither is anyone that agrees with you on this.

WOW. That's frikkin incredible---after 230+ years, PC has infected the Pentagon to this extent. (Wonder if it's just DI's berating kids in basic? :frown:)

its HTs house as he says,
But I never understood why more then squelch was required.
Play with head phones so that your child can watch you carpet bomb citys without hearing someone swear.
That is if your real concern is the soul of your child.
But if all you really want is to tell other people what to say, then whine about it here.

In your opinion. And really. I couldnt care less about what your opinion is.
My guess is most people here dont either.
I actually beleive that you think that by saying people are "not men,not grown up, deserve to be shunned" yadda yadda yadda etc etc etc. If they dont conform to what your opinion on what the world should be or how individuals should be language police. That people are going to magically see it your way.
Might as well say "Last one to HQ is a rotten egg" Or "Anyone who doesnt join my mission their mama wears combat boots"
I believe the principle is sound yet I do not believe the reality coincides with the value. Because quite obviously...it does not.
The next time this subject is brought up it will be proven yet again. Just as it has countless times in the past and will be again countless times in the future.
Oh I can accept that anyone can live outside of my realm. no problem. Because I deal with reality. And in reality thats what happens. YOUR the one that cant accept it. As is evidenced by your entire argument.
Grown up? LMAO I dont see how with your statements thus far you can expect anyone to take you seriously. Your the one that expects that everyone is going to live up to your expectations. which at best is a fantasy. And Im the one thats not grown up for recognizing that there is an ideal world and there is reality and knowing that the two are more often then not two very different things?
I deserve to be shunned?
ooOOOooo How terrible a thing it would be to be shunned by you. I know its unlikely for you to believe. But I figure I'll say it anyway when I say that I wouldn't go expecting people to follow you en masse on that
I guess by your comments your trying to "break down my self-esteem" with words.
Sorry, I grew up in the real world. I suffer from no such weakness.
Now rather then go around anymore in this endless circle. You may go ahead and get in the last word. Because we both know you just have to.
For my response. Just refer back to just about any of my previous posts because thats the only place this discussion can possibly lead anymore.
And to be quite honest.
Your getting boring and your arguments pointless
-
With all due respect, there are actually 3 types of players:
1) Smack talkers
2) Squelchers
3) Those genuinely entertained by the absolutely obnoxious, hate-filled spew that at best is mensa-level-wittiness and at worst is third-grade, low-level mental masterbation that results in someone digging their own burial plot...metaphorically speaking ofcourse.
Having engaged in all three in my brief time here, none of this will solve it because of the complexity of the human condition called competitiveness. I wish each of you the best of luck curing this one.

I keep reporting (with the report feature) guys using 4 letter words in chat and voice. And I mean they are really going at it. For some reason they are still chatting away the next day, and the day after that.. still cussing up a storm.
Further proof the report system is abused by way to sensitive nancy`s try detuning 200 if you find it offensive
or squelch gawd
We need a channel that you have to tune to with a pop up box saying if you tune this channel you except that you might be offended
-
Do you guys scolding all the bad language really believe what you're saying, or are you just saying it to try to get your way?
I know you'll say you believe it, but I'll never know if it's true or not.
Short of a kid being homeschooled, they've heard the words. And if they're the homeschooled sheltered type they need occasional reality to be heard through the human condum such uber-concerned cultist parents try to constantly pull over their heads.
What sort of crazy stuff goes through your minds when you watch movies like Water Boy? What happens when you bring your kid to walmart and you hear some guy say "Shit" when he drops something?
Detune 200, squelch, and I believe there is a voice volume control.

Point is do you really want to be the one to give a 'home schooled' child his first cussing? If so you need help... high dollar help.
How is our favorite game ever going to grow and expand with fresh blood if the smack-talking and cussing continues to build and build (and it is building to worse and worse levels)? The problem is the moderators have grown accustomed to it and let people slide (if there are even moderators left). Some of the guys posting the counter argument are supposed to be old hands at this but obviously dont care enough about the game to keep it growing. Way to help out!
-
I cannot understand, why this seems to be such a big problem. When my kids were smaller, they would have liked to watch me play, because they thought everything animated is intended for kids. Well, my wife and I thought watching a war simulation is not for minors, so I played (and still do) after they have gone to bed. Nor do they need to watch and hear drunk people online. And I think it isn't even my wife's business what we are talking while playing. That is why I wear headphones and type, when I don't want her to hear.
AH doesn't seem to have any age limitations, but since credit cards do have theirs, I guess HTC select their customers by age that way.
Speaking of profanity filters, there's plenty of them available to save our kids while surfing the 'net. A recent comparison in a Finnish PC-magazine found out, that a certain Finnish town (http://www.pornainen.fi) still doesn't qualify due to the first four letters in it's name. Not to mention (again) myself being muted for telling in Finnish on Squad channel, how big a bag of potato chips I had...

Fury I dont think you read the buffer or you dont have young kids around at all. My nephew loves to drive the tanks but no way am I letting him anywhere near AH online.
That is good Chalenge, cause if you did let him you would be in violation of your account agreement and you could get banned from the game :D

To Mr Bipolar, with all due respect sir, no squelch does not work as well.
Granted it will remove the aggravation. But Squelch is sticking your head in the sand, not removing the problem.
However considering how often you've run afoul of such controls yourself it doesn't surprise me that you gave that answer.
Yeah i couldnt agree more. Because of that guy and possibly his squad i havent been able to type for about a week. And theres a good reason too. Grizz told some other player on 200 that he sucked. I replied that Grizz swallows. Bipolar then reported me and here I am. Its only ok if "they" do it. Wasnt even a four letter and i got muted. technically it was an 8 letter word so yeah.
But i havent learned my lesson. I'll do it again. And again, And again. Keep on reporting me again and again. I hope someone rips off ur (explitive) and (explitive) both ur eyes out. And if you dont wanna hear me say anything then maybe they'll be generous enough to (blankity blankity) ur ears out as well.
eat me
:huh i reported you?
i only report if someone makes a personal attack on my family.
You can tell me im the biggest piece of cartoon flight sim suck youve ever seen and ill laugh it off. But if you involve my family, your damn right ill report you. I have never and will never talk smack to someone and involve their family. I keep it about the game and game only.
And if you hear this so called "foul language" from me on vox, 99.999999999999% of the time ive hit the wrong button trying to talk on squad vox and hit range by accident.
And kid, how would you know that it was me that reported you? You do realize that more than one have to report in order for your chat to be suspended.
So please know what you are talking about before you speak.
You have a great day sweet lips, im sending a hug your way :aok

no spazz...ur just an ego-maniacle internet tough guy who gets hot reporting people. And ur a hipocrit for saying u dont otherwise. i saw u type "report" on 200 after i said what i said. So i know at least you were a part of it. Besides u talk trash to people alot worse than what i said all the time, and im not the only one who thinks ur a loser for sayin what you say. So dont even try to play the "kid" and "im a saint who loves my family" trash. get a life, i stand by what i said hot shot. oh yeah and you can go hug yourself. But just so we're clear, I'm tellin you to go (explitive) yourself. I'd say more but you might go report me again. whatever im done...<---deleting my forum account

FBnutz you can't let the tattletales win so easy.
@whats his face that said do you want to be the one that a homeschooled kid overheads a cuss word from
I never said that. And I don't care who it is, it's gunna be someone short of staying locked in a basement until death.
As far as fresh blood to the game, I assume you mean new people playing it? I recall a game called Halo that continues to grow even when living members can teabag (I really hope that isn't considered bad language here) dead ones, while the dead one is stuck watching while waiting to re-spawn.
Fact is the easily offended tattletalers are the vast minority, they just complain more so their numbers are over-represented.
-
That is good Chalenge, cause if you did let him you would be in violation of your account agreement and you could get banned from the game :D
Your not getting it dedalos... my nephews have their own computers and an AH account would make a good Christmas present except for the potty mouths and smack talkers. Just tonight one of my squaddies killed a Mossie who then tuned him private and cussed him up one side and down the other and then forgot he did have him tuned private and started sending him requests for assistance and other noobishness. Not funny by the way.
-
I guess I am too old for this debate, in my day it was "sticks and stones can break my bones but names will never hurt me", now it's all this PC stuff.
I find holding out small children to win my moral point to be at least "cowardly", because the person doing it doesn't think he has a strong enough arguement among adults to make it fly so he "grabs" the child crutch.
In my 66 years on this earth I have found that most "holy joes'" turn out to be hypocrits, "Ye without sin cast the first stone"
HiTech has provided many tools to address this problem, use them and stop trying to use the game as your moral "soapbox".

Appears to me almost everyone is missing the point. The rules really have nothing to do with children playing. The rules have every thing to do with behaving in a sociable way.
Think how you should be have at a family restaurant vs how you should behave at a biker bar. If someone is so daft as to think any behavior should be tolerated in any situation and if it is not, it is PC, then you truly are beyond any hope of understanding normal social standards.

People like this individual right here are NOT sociable. There is nothing pleasant about the way this person responded.
Maybe he was mistreated as a child or maybe he justs feels mistreated because he doesnt have all the toys in the toybox. No one will ever know.
I'm going to regret this so much, but i have to agree with you :cry

I need some help with the PC deck of strat cards, now lets see there is the: Bigot card, the racist card, the child abuser card, the morally bankrupt card, the your a big meany card, and if you don't agree with my point of view you should be pounded into dust card, oh and last but not least the share the wealth card...... did I leave any out??????
I was always taught that my rights ended where someone else's began, best some you PC crowd try to remember that.
Simba SPOT ON :aok

I swear, most of you that are posting probably have Whitney Houston's "Greatest Love of All" blaring in the backround as you make your posts.

You can spot a non parent a mile away
If I had a child and he/she were playing. I'd just make sure to turn ch 200 off. People with nasty PMs, rare occasions do I recieve them.
And for Combat/first person shooter games go. Theres alot more explict ones out there. OO look now I'm being self righteous. :rolleyes:

When I stopped playing df2 and Black hawk down 6 yrs ago..your right, ppl were pretty filthy on there,now I just got back into BHD with my new pc and most servers have a lang. filter. I was booted from one for typing that someone "LAID" clays in a spot on there lol
I personally don't care what people talk like in a game,back in the day I cussed pretty bad in the 1st person shooter games I played. Maybe its having kids myself now,or just "Trying" to act my age anymore that I try to keep the cussing out of the game,just don't see the need for it just makes you look immature. Owell,to each their own......

Actually your rights ended when you came into a game hosted by someone that has set forth rules that he expects you to follow. Then its up to the members of the community that subscribes to the service to make sure rules are adhered to. If you think you are due greater rights than any other member of the community then you should take that up with HTC directly.
This (where you are in the argument) is not about political correctness it is about the stages of life.
level 1: In childhood you are innocent to begin with.
level 2: You learn about 'camp language' (lets call it).
level 3: You accept camp language as part of life.
level 4: You 'enhance' every day language with artful uses of 'camp language' and increase the number of uses for emphasis.
level 5: You learn that emphasis does not require 'camp language' and decrease its use to moments of anger and disappointment.
level 6: You are completely offended with the foul mouthed need of some to use 'colorful camp language' and correct them.
Some people (lets call them 'respected') do not have any use for 'camp language' for emphasis. They jumped from level 1 to level 6 early in life. Others never make it out of level 3 or 4.

Someone ever, and I mean ever, takes a shot at me because they don't like something I said in front of their kid, and I am going to beat them bad right in front of their kid, and keep beating them until they and hopefully their kid learns how the world really works.
I doubt most of the idiots spouting this crap even have kids, and if they do, I seriously doubt they are even half way decent parents.
Just use squelch ladies.
If my kids heard something on AH that made the speaker sound like a crude idiot, I would laugh and say listen to that crude idiot. Don't sound like that son.
Then 6 years later when the kid is playing COD MW and spouts off like a crude idiot, I would say "do you ever want to play that again under my roof?" And if they swore again it would be so quiet, that your darling child wouldn't hear it on your end anyway.
But thats me, I am not trying to have the computer raise my kids, nor am I trying to force the whole world to live by my rules.
But if some half wit idiot actually thought he could take a shot at me for swearing in front of his kid..lol it would be funny.

Midgets dont scare me either. :D

This from a guy who thinks he can tell others how to live and what their rights are....... :confused:. I don't mind a guy stating his opinion but when he becomes a crusader........ :noid ( cannot find anywhere in the TOS where it says the subscribers are responsible for policing the game).
Chalenge is probably a nice guy face to face, he just has that far left bent that leads him to believe that his way is the ONLY way :O, the facts are that I doubt anyone in the game really intends run blue all the time, but some do slip from time to time it is the nature of a competitive game (most games of this nature remove the temptation by not having a way to communicate with the other side in the heat of battle). I actually see no need for 200 in the game at all except for the name in lights feature, but hey thats just my .02

On that we are agreed and your 2 cents are worth as much as mine. The fact is Hitech has already said be sociable and here you are saying that rude behavior is okay... house rules. I never told you how to live so dont act all offended and jump to unrealistic conclusions. You obviously have an agenda of spreading your lifestyle and feel you have to reconcile everyone to the fact that your version of this behavior is 'normal' somehow. Obviously you need to do some 'maturing.' When you break out of level 3 and 4 you will feel so much better about yourself... maybe.
What exactly do you think the report function is for? Its community policing of the in game communications right there! Wakeup! :D

.squelch should do it
besides kids are gonna hear worse things as soon as they start grades school, turn on the tv, the radio or even use a public bathroom. an if they dont more power too em. i got in my first fight in elementary (2nd grade) on account of not knowing any profanity or to properly use it. yes even if we guard the kids an act mature some kids gonna wanna punch ur kid in the face just cuz he doesnt drop F bombs. or maybe it only happened me. :D
an i think this is where this one goes

Its just so funny how people try to justify swearing in a game, Tells alot about who you really are, and how you were raised, Internet tuffguys to funny.

Im up for the Visayan punishment myself. You have two choices.
1) we tie you to the mouth of the volcano and cook you for the feast
2) we punish the guilty with the innocent and any argument gets both parties muted

or here's a long shot. and i know this sounds crazy but what if parents sat down wit there kids an have a long talk with them about these issues, u know instead of spending so much time on arguing on forums. i know i know its a terrible idea....

Wheres that double face palm image when you need it? :D

Heheh ever notice how the PC guys go right for the insult to make their point :rofl (BTW the report function for me was a way to handle those that PM you). As for agenda's yes I have one and it is to stop all PC types who are trying to remove the rights of other folks who do not hold their values (you seem to fit this description). You follow your statement "I never told you how to live...."with a long diatribe of who I am and what I am doing :headscratch: as if somehow you have been left in charge of the room or board :banana: :banana: :banana:

I call it using the options provided in game that I have control over, anything more than that is only wishful thinking
