Title: freedom of speech
Post by: Foont on September 06, 2012, 07:02:57 PM
Curious, I reported Alipine13 or whatever as possibly misusing a CV.  Rather then a proper response I get a chat ban.  What exactly are the chat ban rules?  From this I suspect they are facist.  Just saying.

It's not advised to talk about 'cheating' either in the game or on the forum. A private email to HTC is your best bet (although I really wouldnt bther with regard to CV abuse, it's just part of the game that can't be avoided if everyone who doesnt cheat's freedom is to be respected). If you accuse someone of cheating in the arena on open channels you will almost always get chat banned for a time. Not saying you did, just letting you know.

Well if you swore or went over blew up at Alpini13 BEFORE you reported him that would be where you got the chat ban from.

Call skuzzy, or email him and he can look at the logs. If you were ban due to a bunch of Alpini13's "buddies" reporting you for no reason Skuzzy will clear you and chat ban them instead.

On the other hand, the chat ban is more than likely warranted whether you admit it or not. That seems to be how it usually goes.

Say again I did nothing but hit the report chat button so that our esteemed overlords could look at the ongoing discussion over Alpine's activities.  I have no intention to seek forgivenness at HTs head shed to address that modest activiity.

If you had your chat suspended it was probably deserved.  You also don't have the right to "freedom of speech" when you log into this forum or into the game.

Say again I did nothing but hit the report chat button so that our esteemed overlords could look at the ongoing discussion over Alpine's activities.  I have no intention to seek forgivenness at HTs head shed to address that modest activiity.

I call major Bull Scatalogy, you didn't have your chat suspended for merely typing ".report alpini13" or right clicking on his name and reporting him that way.  I'm sure that Skuzzy or anyone else at HTC will probably see you "excercising" your freedom of speech with some very colorful descriptions for alpini13.  Again, the chat suspension was probably well deserved.

Old school guys assume alot.  Being 65 myself I understand.  This was a minor issue I thought.  But if the big posters here defend every HTC activity you have to wonder.  I am very limited in chat or voice engagement most can attest to.  It just seemed to me at the time that Alpini's activity exploited his rank.   Most on country agreed and many advised to contact Skuzz.  Seemed the simple way to do that was report chat so he could see the conversation.  I never texted or voiced a peep but just sent the report chat message. That warrants censorship?

Post by: Foont on September 06, 2012, 08:10:47 PM
Fug I admire your brevity.  We all recognize there is limited freedom of speech in AH2 for a number of reasons.  Questioning some of those parameters however should be allowed in these forums.  Censorship is also built into the software for good business and social reasons.  None of those reasons applied in this case.  "Fascisim" is one of many descriptors of oppressive activities but it is on my mind lately and perhaps inapppropriate.

The reason you are repeating yourself is because everyone but you knows you would not get muted for simply .reporting someone.
Hence you must be leaving something out.

Paranoid much.

Don't feel bad, I am in "Top Gun" we apparently switch sides and spy and stuff too, Oh and apparently I was caught shade killing and switched names few months ago... (forget fact i slowly exited the game over a few tours, and quit - along with few other TG members)...
My favorite is when 10 members are on split between 3 countries because were all stuck in the 12hr rule and cant get together, so naturally were killing CV's and spying - except we don't have bomber sorties and in my case if im bishop I probably got drunk and switched to wrong country (again).

I agree as far as individual pilots go. But I won't assume a whole squad is comprised solely of dicks just because the more vocal members act like them. Also, most most of the dicks in this game don't need the excuse of rank, or have the rank to utilize as an excuse of being a dick.

What is the "Freedom of Speech" we keep hearing about? It obviously is a knee jerk response to someone being muzzled.  It is a shame some people do not know what it truly means.  What it does not mean is to be able to say whatever-whenever-wherever, especially in a private forum.  What it also does not mean is that while a person may say what they want without fear of prosecution (with exceptions in the extremes), they do not have a right to be heard.  :aok

I fully agree with Uptown on this one.  Foont, I will make an assumption based on the number of your postings that you are relatively new to the game.  Is this correct?  If so, you may find that you are a little fish and little pond full of bigger fish and when they smell blood, the feeding frenzy will soon start.  Regarding your statement that all you did was use the report chat feature and nothing else, there is no way for general bulletin board members to verify that as far as I am aware.  I am in Law Enforcement by trade and more often than not I have found that there is usually more to the story than what is being told.  With that said, you posted:

Mr. Hitech.  I was chat banned for clicking on Alpini's name and clicking on "report chat".  Period.  Nothing else.  Do you comprehend that simple fact?  If not cancel my account please.

You still assert to Hitech that is all that you did and layed down the gauntlet, so to speak.  

It would be very interesting to me to see how this plays out although I have my doubts about it being played out on the bulletin boards.  

Good luck to you Mr. Foont and perhaps to me as well.  Because when we slip into this little pond, someone is bound to get bit sometime.

Your analogy is totally wrong. You are encouraged to report anything you suspect is a little fishy, but shouting about it in the arena or the bbs is the wrong way to go about it. People are innocent until proven guilty, so if you see something, tell HTC and let THEM sort it out. Doing it that way avoids false accusations, and helps save peoples' reputations. It also saves you from looking like an idiot when you are proven wrong. The vast majority of "cheat" accusations are just plain wrong. People have PMed me many times with cheat accusations just because they got beat in a fight and couldn't comprehend what I did, or they are ignorant of a planes abilities and tell me that I did something to modify it. I have been accused of spying as well when I switched countries to find a fight on a dead night. Publicly accusing someone of cheating will do you no favors. Most people will just assume you are an idiot. Just quietly report it to HTC and let them sort it out. That is by far the best policy.

That's perfectly fine with me.  We don't complain about rank dictating the helm.  Do you remember the last time we met on a carrier?  If you decide to take the high road next time we'll leave the airplane hangers alone and not bring any troops.

First of all, I hardly ever accuse anybody of cheating but when I do, its for good reason. I once came across a flying fuselage 110 which I pumped a whole clip into n he kept going. Filmed it n sent it to skuzzy n he said he had no idea how that happened. I'm just saying, I've been called a cheater before with my 18% hit percentage in fighter mode :neener:, but don't think they should be chat banned for it. A little harsh

Mr. Hitech.  I was chat banned for clicking on Alpini's name and clicking on "report chat".  Period.  Nothing else.  Do you comprehend that simple fact?  If not cancel my account please.

A player spelled out the male reproduction organ with CV waypoints a few days ago. I have also seen folks draw said organ with CV waypoints.

you dont seem to understand that they will not discuss publicly why somebody got banned.  if you really want to know then send an email like everybody suggested.  they in turn will reply to you why it happened, if it wasnt warranted then they will remove it and banned whoever did it to you instead.

that's basically it.  either send an email or forget it.

A player spelled out the male reproduction organ with CV waypoints a few days ago. I have also seen folks draw said organ with CV waypoints.

I remember lots of different patterns created with CV's. Used to crack me up but rarely see it anymore.

For the rest, I saw the accused on bish in control of 217 but it was in a far and pointless corner. The most he could have done is prevent others from using it for defense. The rest of his squad was on another country for sure, but I don't believe it was the country even close to the cv area.

The only real answer for this dickishness and for good gameplay in general, is the cv can only be held by a person on or in range of (purple) said cv. But that is a wishlist item.

For the ban, possibly you using chat report was the cause for whatever ban was received. Possibly they reviewed chat and found nothing at all and felt it was malicious and instead banned you. That is of course taking fully and only into account your insistence of no other possible reason beyond .report chat.

Good luck either way, don't let a game get you worked up, everyone plays their own way whether it seems to be acceptable to others or not. And like your reference to freedom of speech, this is how it should be, to a point as someone else pointed out. What is that point? That is they grey area that makes the BBS so much fun. :lol

Wow!  What a self righteous bunch we are!

Maybe it was the Topic:  "freedom of speech" that got you all trippin'............  I dunno  :headscratch:

A few have been right on point, and I have learned that no one really has been able to interpret many of HiTech's posts  :headscratch:  Sarcasm?  Unforgiving Hammer of Truth?  or Priest-like Wisdom?  I will gamble on the latter ......

One thing that I can agree in regards to foont, yes there is a limit to what HTC may want to have placed on the forums and or chat buffers.  I certainly, have exceeded that and have had my privileges suspended for periods of time.  I have also received chat suspension, without any idea of what happened (even thought I might have clicked squelch).  An email to HTC, could possibly have given me answers.  I just think they are busy enough than to examine logs every time  someone is muted. 

Only the suspected perpetrator or possibly HTC know whether or not the chat was used to divulge CV location to another country.  THIS HiTech has been very clear that he does not tolerate.  The dot report feature in game should be useful to locate in logs for HTC's review.   I believe that everyone has the right to bring to their attention actions that violate the company's policies.  After that it is purely up to them to decide what to do and I believe that it is their policy not to discuss what actions were/or might be taken against any player.

Either way, accusing someone of anything without proof or prior knowledge is not cool. What is the definition af CV abuse anyway?

Those with the highest rank may do what they want with the CV. No need in whining about it unless you are rooting for a new CV control system. In the end, whine with all of your might, I still have your boat.
He wasn't spying he got mad because people accused him of it
so he decided to miss with all the bish cv groups to get back at
a few players, and this went on for hours because of his lower rank
That's the abuse part of it.

There is a special Chinese Hell for nozzles who hide CVs.  At this point I am convinced it has nothing to do with the game, it is to feed their little punk bully ego...

LOL you guys are too funny. i have been bish for 3 months now......the issue was i had control of a cv and you could not take it away from me.......the cv in question was a rook cv that a BISH had hidden in the corner. i took control,due to rank,and headed the cv twoard a position to be used in either attack or defense. while under my control the cv was turned to prevent from being bombed and was not sunk....at all. for that matter...after i gave up control the cv was not sunk either.....it engaged the enemy and killed them.   during this entire time...some 5 hours...NO squadmates  of mine were even on the game.  i did not talk,pm or in any way communicate with anyone one the rook or knight side.  as a matter of fact ,i make it known to squadies when i am on bish to NOT give away information about knight or rook objectives as i am a bish.   i will continue to play anyway i want as long as its within the rules, if you dont like it,CHANGE THE RULES.    my personal opinion is a cv commander should have rank...AND BE ON THE CV TO BE ABLE TO DEFEND IT, once you leave the cv...even by launching from it...you should lose command......it would solve all problems.   there should also be penalties if a cv commander is bombed by a squadmate on another side.   maybe you should fix the problem instead of pointing fingers about something you dont know about.....as butcher and fugitive were not even there.....wtg guys......whoohoo GO ME!! :rofl

Alpini,

As you pointed out, you had control and put it to use for the benefit of the country.  :salute  I am glad that you posted, especially since that is not always the case unfortunately, and I won't carry that conversation any farther than to say that HTC does have a firm handle on those that don't play by the rules.

I wasn't there, and only ask if a little more communication during the game could have cleared things up faster?  Also, rank in AH does not always encompass wisdom.  Heck, I look at my rank sometimes and go pffffft, that number ain't gonna last long  :D 

Basically, I agree hiding a fleet is both a tactical plus if it helps win the war, and a tactical error if it needlessly hampers gameplay of the country owning it.  A good line of communication, if ever brought into question again could be along the lines of what you stated here.  "I am skipper of the fleet, I am keeping it safe and bringing it into use against OUR enemies."  Then the only viable counter arguments, would have to along the lines of let us secure its port first, or I urgently need it to land damaged or fuel limited aircraft.

     Alpini13 brings up a good point that I would personlly like to see implemented.  If you are not on the Cv or at least in the same general area of the Cv then you lose control.  How many times have you seen guys take control of the boat and bombers appproach and the boat can not be turned.  Simple fix.  Carry On :cheers: :cheers:

In my reply to the OP I laid out the possible causes as to why he may have been muted, and on top of that pointed out that he most likely was the cause of his muting whether he wanted to admit it or not. I don't have to be there to understand how the mute system works.

As for your posts and actions, you come across as a whining little crybaby that always has to have things his way, or else! None of your post have ever endeared you to me, nor do I think it likely you will ever post something worth while.
