Are abusing their power.
I got 720 minute mute for calling the mod "a sack of cheese its." A snack food for goodness sake.
I'm not saying I dont deserve a mute for 10 mins or so, but come on, that is unacceptable.
Hey Mod - "You mad bruh?"
-
I got muted a minute before him for saying something about the PLAYER "DICK"
No warning, no nothing, just muted
Ive heard many stories about mods and seen a lot first hand from many people. Safe to say a lot of AH Mods are probably mad 9 year olds who think they have some kind of epic power over everyone :rolleyes:

send it to HTC and they will check the logs. If you were muted unjustly they will fix it. They will also tell "the rest of the story" if it was justified :devil
-
I don't even need "the rest of the story".
Someone did try to start a fight with a moderator in public. That never works out. :)

I wouldnt be so irritated but my check6's can't go out.

I do agree I believe they should separate Check 6's from the text mute.

I dont care about check 6's...but can't I at least have voice so I can yell em out on vox...or just bs with squaddies? It was one comment on 200 :confused:

One too many.
How long was your mute RedBull?

The Mods in game are power trippers plain and simple. :neener:

Moderators would not be needed if everyone acted like an adult.
This is not the place to air this laundry. Get in touch with the proper
people. If there was an error I'm sure it can be rectified.

Why are people that insist on poking a sleeping lion with a stick are suddenly surprised when the lion wakes up and mawls their ass?

And we wouldnt need complaining on forums if moderators could act like adults, and not do foolish things like 720 minute bans with no warning. But thanks.

Calling someone a sack of cheese is hardly on par with poking a lion with a stick

The Mod clearly has had a sense of humour failure.
The defective Mod needs replacing at the next MOT.

A few hours I believe, and I mean it was harmless fun on 200, is a warning too much to ask for now? :uhoh

IMHO the moderators are already wayyyyyyy to lax, or there are way too few of them around.

I was muted for 60min for talking about a player named DICK.... If I have to stare at his name "DICK" icon for 45 min GV'in why would I get muted ?
-
I was just informing the Mod of who Red was referring to, and before I could type my next line (which would have been : P ) Muted.
Not long before Colito was <Finger> ing people. There is no consistency in this particular defective Moderator.
-
So, are you going to sack up and name the offending moderator?
I'm sure we'd all like to know...

This is because moderators make friends and play the game too. So its not always fair or unbiased. I was there for all of this too, and was saying "DICK" on 200 with you guys yet I didnt get muted and you did. Players shouldnt be allowed to be named "DICK" if we get muted for calling them by their name.

Justice for Dolby!
720 minutes seems a bit much.

Yet someone can continuously berate people 24/7 including talking about their dead parents live on range and not even get a muted out of it.
LT - need I say more?
/See you all in 2 weeks.

indeed mods dont even mute enough.. If I remember correctly, HTC has said pretty much if it isn't related to the game itself, it shouldn't even be typed on public channels.
I know if I was a mod, I'd be muting all of the AH political pundits on a daily basis.
-

I think it's the latter. I've only had one give me an uncalled for warning in 11 years so I think all things considered they do good work.

What is stupid are people insisting on cluttering the chat with idiotic discussions on politics and religion, which has no place in the game. Besides, it's Hitech's game and he makes the rules. If you don't like the rules that are in place the solution is very simple, cancel your account.

Where I come, saying that will get your face thoroughly smashed.
Would Dolby say that to a stranger in a tavern? I doubt it.
Just shut your pie hole for 720 minutes and relax.
-
I gotta find it funny that you can say "butt" (as a 3 letter word), but you can't say "male private parts". Either make every bad word a "bad" word, or none at all. You hear the same stuff on range/channel but you get owned by the mod hammer the moment you type it out.
-
lol where do you come from? cuz thats just redicules

Lots of people say stuff everyday that would get their face smashed in everyday. Is it right to say it? No. But is it soooooo wrong that you get muted for hours, especially in a game like AH where most of the people who player are older than 16? No.
-

Your grammar is ridiculous.

I said "Hey Moderator, Redbull was referring to the player called DICK in AcesHigh, you sack of cheese its"
My next type out was " :P " when I got my messege saying you have been muted for 719.7Mins.

Done and done.
You make a lame joke, should you get tape across your mouth for 12 hours?
You jokingly call a friend a dweeb, should you get tape across your mouth for 12 hours?
You call a guy by his NAME, i repeat, HIS NAME, should you get tape across your mouth for 12 hours?
-
What never ceases to amaze me in these threads is that folks seem to forget they are responsible for what they type. It's not involuntary, just came out stuff. You didn't slam your thumb with a hammer and accidentally type nasty words.
It takes an effort to type dumb stuff on 200. It takes no effort to think first then type. I've never been warned or muted in all my years playing. That's not said to brag, only to point out that it's possible to be responsible enough to not put it on someone else to tell me to grow up. And it's not like I don't talk on 200 at all.
If you aren't sure, then don't type it. How sad is it that HTC has to have mods in the first place?
And if it's that big of a crisis for you, then do what HTC says every time one of these threads pop up. e-mail HTC, don't make it a BBS crisis too.

Can't even have a joke Guppy, no light heartedness in Aceshigh.

I never said politics and religon sir. But if HTC is saying the in game channels are for game related speak only, then by that standard asking how someones family is doing on Country Channel is breaking that rule. You guys take everything way to serious here.

I don't take it seriously at all, which is part of my point :)
Serious or joking, everyone knows there are lines drawn by HTC. It's a choice to push against the line. Clearly in the Mod's eyes you crossed it. And if it bugs you, then e-mail HTC like they always say to do.
-

There is no 1st amendment, Hitech owns the game and he decides what you can / cannot say, don't like it then time to go back to World of Warcraft.
You are free to discuss the game and history, state your opinion with restraint - your opinion doesn't involve personal feelings/religion/war.
Quite simply i've been muted more then enough times over the years, stop whining and accept your mute and look back at what you said, more than likely it was childish and worth a ban.
/Not once can I look back and say what I said was NOT childish, heat of moment blah blah who cares, take it like a man.
-

Where did you see it's written by HTC that within the HTC BBS or AH you are free to speak your mind on anything you choose?
Private company in whose house you are playing, within rules set up by that company.

actually he is seriously telling you like it is. you're erroneous ideas about what you are or are not allowed to voice around here will have you png'd if you don't watch yourself. i've seen hitech cancel people's accounts and ban them when they made the mistakes you're about to make.

You need to discuss your issues directly with HTC, because they run this place. This is not a democracy. You have no rights. In fact, that bears repeating: You have no rights. Rather, you may be granted some privileges, if you behave. There are no hard and fast rules about what will get you muted. There is no official list of forbidden words. The "rules" are deliberately vague, so HTC can have some latitude in dealing with immature behavior. You are expected to comport yourself like a mature adult - a gentleman - and maintain an attitude of good sportsmanship.
Bye! :salute

720 mins tho thats chump change. I got my chat suspended for a week because i think the person i called out tattled on me, i didnt lose my privileges until the day after the incident had occurred. I dont remember what i said but it was probably the truth lol.

Wait... a guy can have a name like "DICK" in the game and he can name his squad so when he lands kills we see SYSTEM: DICK landed 2 kill in a P51D of Choked to Death By DICK....? and you cant type his name out on 200? what a joke. Last night there were multiple F bombs dropped in many forms, and those guys kept on talkin.... sounds like some hard of hearing or just plain tarded MODS. Hitech YOU need to address this, Gameplay has gone Way Downhill last year or so... Love this Game have enjoyed playing and happily giving my money to Hitech last 4 years but I think I'm out for a while, gonna grab the update and play offline for a while.

Some folks' real name is DICK! :aok
I don't see an issue
as far as the "F"bomb, I didn't think that was even possible on 200 :huh
I've been muted several times for saying d0uchbg, as well as banned from these forums for it :D, Yet a while back my shade for a month was D0UCHEBG :headscratch: go figure :huh
see ya in a couple weeks ;)

I can see why people are upset. We all know mods should be perfect. Mods should be online 24/7 so that they know everything said by everyone in every arena all the time. They should not let their own game play interfere with reading everything anyone types and they should also hear every word on range channel for the whole arena. Anything less than perfection is unacceptable in a volunteer. :devil
I think it's great that all the people complaining about mods in this thread have stepped up and volunteered to be Mods themselves so that they can demonstrate how easy it is to meet the standards they feel are appropriate. :lol

I heard what Dolby said and had log and sit down it a darkened room for 20 mintues, Yarbles was in tears and also logged :)
It was appalling really :)

I believe you've hit on the very crux of the matter, sir! Happily, we've now identified an imperfect mod.
Sterilize.
If you've ever had mod responsibilities you'd appreciate better what a difficult job it is. I did it for some time in a much smaller arena. I can't imagine what it's like in one of the MAs.
And yet, somehow, there seem to be people who never get muted. One wonders how that is possible.

HTC has told all of us that "MODERATORS" and the discussion/questioning of.....
is not a topic for open discussion......... been telling all of us for 13 years straight
HTC will only discuss this in 1 on 1, privately
via email and possibly personal message??????
hope this helps

Are we sure this isn't an occurance of mass reporting that caused an auto ban?
Does that exist?
Dolby needs to stop e.mailing aces high customers' employers in his jihad to expose people he thinks are not who they say they are.
That said, I shot up an enemy city with a tank and someone asked me how I got there.
I answered "remote spawn hack" and added "kidding" and got chat banned because a few squaddies were peeved that they lost multiple planes trying to bomb**** the tank in thier city.

If it was unjust. HTC will fix it. Take it to them, politely and not to the boards. :salute

IMHO the moderators are already wayyyyyyy to lax, or there are way too few of them around.
I agree. I would like to see more of the trash talking, and politics on 200 more frequently and aggressively shut down.
200 is not the Blog-o-sphere, yet it's allowed to be treated as such by the same 20 people every single day. :(

The squad named "Choked to Death by DICK" is so far beyond even remotely acceptable it's not even funny.

I personally think if your old enough to play a game that portrays life and death and warefare you shouldn't get all flustered when you see DICK.
Are we sure his is a case of what you said and not a case of how you said it? Do you really want the mods to be even more prudish? Just dont be a Dick over 200 and it wont be a problem.
