they just need to permaban the people, its always the same ones, always, they just get the limp wristed slap and come back, sometimes i wonder if the Mods let it go depending on who the mod is ( or there friends of those braking the rules and ignore it) either way its something that certian people always push and they know they are when there doing it they just keep bending the rules to fit them

you'd think someone forced you to tune into 200, and then used some kind of calipers on your eyes to stop you from looking away

just don't tune in, or do what i do - ignore 99% of it ;---)

Not taking sides, but when you have players with handles like PrsObama, Gaypride (just two used as an example) and a few others, you got to expect some sort of reaction from the others,at least at first. I wont comment on why someone chooses the in-game ID that they do (suffice it to say, some are probably chosen for initial shock effect) but if by choosing a handle that might in and of itself lead to a somewhat inappropriate discussion, violating the rules of the game, then shouldn't HTC also have a finger pointed in it's direction for having approved the handles in the first place? Regardless, you will always have people who will incite others to comment about how wrong something is, what the state of the nation is, someones sexuality or how right or wrong current religious dogma may be. Occam's Razor used here might suggest we move away from cross country chat thereby removing the behavior altogether.  But that's another discussion.

Again, I'm not trying to lay blame, the inappropriate behavior rests squarely with the ones using it, but IMHO some of the off color conversations in-game might have been curtailed somewhat if the "catalyst", that is, the provocative handles used by some, were deemed inappropriate at the start and they were made to choose another. The flip side to this is "it's just a name", but we all know, sometimes a name is more than just a name.  ;)

i like to talk to my friends from other countries, just like many others do that's why i have it tuned, who's forcing them to talk about religion and politics on 200 WHEN they know its forbidden? no ones forcing them to but they do it knowingly, why not a permaban on 200 and not country, end of problem

The best solution (although temporary) is to .report the individuals and then use the .squelch command and then let people at HTC take care of it. 

These people that insist on bringing up religion and politics know these discussions are not allowed on Channel 200 (it's already been stated by the powers that be at HTC that it's not allowed) but do so because they think they are "sticking it to The Man™" and that they have some special constitutional right to do so.

YOU is one of the bigger examples with his nonsense 9/11 government conspiracy and asbatt is another example.

This forum, and in the game itself, is not public property and "free speech" arguments do not come into play.  Read the rules, abide by the rules, or be smote by those who wrote the rules for playing in their private domain.

You leave your "Free Speech" at the door when you log into the game and into the forums.  

Besides, political and religious drivel does not belong in a game forum or in game and those that insist on "expressing their Freedom of Speech" on Channel 200 should be reported and hopefully muted for a period of time for doing so.

If you emailed us and did not get a response, then;

1)  We never got the email. 
2)  If your computer has a virus/spyware/malware trying to attach to all the outbound emails, our server will eat that email.
3)  We answered, but your email provider is blocking our email. It is amazing how many times this happens.


Good news is there are multiple ways to get a hold of us.  PM (private message) on the bulletin board, phone call (yes, we do anwer our phones) are both good ways to contact us as well.

Here is somebody who doesn't get it at all. This isn't the "streets"; we don't operate by "street rules" here. That's an extremely immature way of looking at this or any issue. Perhaps when you've been alive longer you'll realize this to be true. I'll tell you who I am to go tell. If I am not in a position of authority I will take the problem to someone who is in a position of authority. It's a simple matter and not one of being a homosexual; how does that even come into play? You can bet your bottom dollar I'd go run tell dat here or anywhere, without fear of having my rear handed to me.

Also this is not about me having to change what I am doing because others cannot control themselves and act appropriately. I tune 200 to talk to folks in the other two countries, not listen to some mouth-breathers version of world events. The rules are there for a reason and if one cannot abide by them perhaps one should go elsewhere.

One last thing. Freedom of speech in the US does not give you the right to say just anything. There is an implied responsibility that comes with each and every right we enjoy.

Fugitive has the right answer.  Here on the farm, when we used to castrate cattle, we would band them. The band was made out of surgical rubber and was a very tight donut looking thing that took a special tool to stretch it.   Thus, when a young bull went through the cattle chute and received a "band" on a pair of his privates, he was thus "banded".  He then became a steer when they dried up and fell off. 



 :O :O  Just saying what "banded" means on the farm here.  Would certainly cut down on some 200 problems   :angel:

LOL a keyboard commando talking about growing a pair? How bout taking your debate to the proper place, which HTC has clearly stated isn't here.

This is not a public place.  It's HTC's turf where he makes the rules.  We don't have to subscribe or play the game.  When we do that, we acknowledge we understand there are limits to our 14.95 and we need to abide by those limits.

You want to change the world, it's much more effective to get up off your backside and go out there and do it.  And if that's too tough, I understand there are a lot of people who start their own blogs to spout whatever comes to mind.  You might try writing one of those.

We do not allow Id's like you state, but we have no way of filtering all combination that can be thought of. A simple email to us with the abusing ID is all it takes to fix it.

So I  believe you should point that finger at yourself.

HiTech

Well I don't know who allows game ID's in the game. It's not my game and I have no control over any aspect of it. I don't know what the procedure is for approval of a game ID nor do I care. I think though you misunderstand my point. I'm not offended by any of the handles used here, or in-game. Some I think are rather silly, but offensive, no. As to the two ID's I used as examples, yes they do exist. Again, the point of my post was not to lay blame for any ID per se. I was not offended, therefore no email. (Not that I probably would have sent one anyway) The whole reason for my post was to illustrate that some game ID's tend to excite and elicit inappropriate responses for others in the community.

As far as the finger pointing goes in this case, and if I were to point a finger, who better than the architects of the game? Again I wasn't offended by any of the previous posts or any game ID's. I simply replied to the OP and tried to draw attention as to perhaps why some int the community act the way they do.

LOL a keyboard commando talking about growing a pair? How bout taking your debate to the proper place, which HTC has clearly stated isn't here.

This is not a public place.  It's HTC's turf where he makes the rules.  We don't have to subscribe or play the game.  When we do that, we acknowledge we understand there are limits to our 14.95 and we need to abide by those limits.

You want to change the world, it's much more effective to get up off your backside and go out there and do it.  And if that's too tough, I understand there are a lot of people who start their own blogs to spout whatever comes to mind.  You might try writing one of those.
 

LOL  "grow a pair".    I love it.  Just remember my hard drive is bigger then yours!  So there!  Guess I showed you :)

Well said Dan, my more crude immediate impulse response to the previous poster's comment was to be to type "grow a pair and change the channel? How bout you grow an 'effing brain, follow the rules, and STFU!"

But then I read your response and thought "how much better...."  :cheers: to you sir!

Another keyboard commando speaks.  Do us all a favor and go do some research on what "Freedom of Speech" means.  Might be a good report for school you could do.  Always good to know there are 'masculine" guys sitting at their computers typing it out for us to recognize.  Think I'll go hide under my computer desk for fear of your testosterone overload.

Quit with the "just detune 200" or the "tattle tale", or even the "yeah its against the rules but your a dweeb for reporting it" crap.  The rule is there for a reason and this is it.  What's easier, detuning the channel or actually following the rules?  Sacrifice conversation, or other ranting which is permitted, because someone else can't follow the rules?  Whats more dweebish to me is someone that screams "RAT" when it's the filth that drove them to do it.  Everyone is different and those at HTC have to find a way to make things good for everyone.  If that means banning conversations about certain topics then so be it.  But who looks dummer, the guy who is the "Tattle" or the whiner who scream "RAT! WHHAAAAAAAAA!!"

lol phatzo, just making a point.... any kid can insult people on the bbs or 200, but if you wanna prove you're the "manly man" you ought to be willing to do it to someone's face.

I don't have a black car, but I do have a black Suburban... I can put on a black suit and wear dark sunglasses if it will help....  :lol

Fugitive has the right answer.  Here on the farm, when we used to castrate cattle, we would band them. The band was made out of surgical rubber and was a very tight donut looking thing that took a special tool to stretch it.   Thus, when a young bull went through the cattle chute and received a "band" on a pair of his privates, he was thus "banded".  He then became a steer when they dried up and fell off.  



 :O :O  Just saying what "banded" means on the farm here.  Would certainly cut down on some 200 problems   :angel:

     Ouch!   :rofl  Come on Rondar, don't be ghey!  :rofl :rofl :rofl
Besides, who is going to volunteer to "band" internet tough guys?

before this gets locked....

I want to  :salute Skuzzy for loging in within 10 minutes of my OP and taking care of the problem!


It's such a simple rule IDK why people can't follow it. The last thing I wanna see when I'm on 200 is politics. I hear about enough in the real world.

If you want to talk politics i could do a quick google search and link you to more political forums than you know what to do with. This is a game, a place

to get away from thr real world. More importantly it's HTC's game and they get to make the rules. I don't care, ya'll can call me a tattle tale if you want

but I was sick of not being able to see anything GAME RELATED on 200 while I was on and I took care of it without having to type a word on 200.

Pretty good customer service if you ask me.

You leave your "Free Speech" at the door when you log into the game and into the forums.  

Besides, political and religious drivel does not belong in a game forum or in game and those that insist on "expressing their Freedom of Speech" on Channel 200 should be reported and hopefully muted for a period of time for doing so.

Uh, no they don't.  See, that is how it works.  Someone gives us a heads up about a questionable game ID, and we make the determination as to whether or not it belongs in the game.  The two you mentioned were already taken care of before you mentioned them.

Game ID's are selected by the player and that is the end of it.  There is no pre-approval process.  For the most part it works just fine.  There will always be those who want to push the limits.  Thankfully, those numbers are far and few between.

I think maybe you and ack ack got the wrong idea of my point.  I agree with you both and the rules. I just say it's gonna happen cause it's who we are. the squelch works wonders. I never promoted the political talks. only pointed out that hearing ABOUT it is just as ridiculous and annoying.

You chose to come into this thread. You could easily skip over it.

Folks on 200 use it to chat across country. No getting by folks who do not go by the rules.

Our actions, within this great game we have, either add something to the community and gameplay, or take from it.  Each persons perspective may differ as to what adds and what takes away.

I believe the ability to communicate with everyone, friend or foe, adds to the game.  I really like 200 because of what it can be.  I dislike what 200 becomes on many an evening.  Please gentlemen, we know the rules and what should not be discussed on 200.  Furthermore, I find myself frustrated with a few chronic "200 spammers" that fill the buffer with text.  If we all did that there would be a full page of text every second and the messages would be lost that do have something to do with gameplay and do contribute positively to the game and community.  I abhorr namecalling but it is what it is, you are being selfish and egocentric.  This game is not about "you" and it is not here to create a pulpit for "you" to share your worldly opinions foisted on "us", a captive audience.  Do what is right.  If you are not sure what is right, do what is "reasonable and prudent".  If further clarity is needed on what should be acceptable try this, never say anything in game or here in the forums that you would not say to your grandmother.

I detuned 200 last night, it was just, (to be kind), silly.  I missed part of what I do enjoy while playing, "you" took that away from me.

Thank you.

Personally I'm not complaining, and hope that most continue following the rules, I like things the way they are.  If HTC felt inclined to, they could start heavily filtering player IDs and shut down and disable channel 200 for all.  Thankfully, they don't, and I appreciate it.
