It's funny that people will post basically bragging about getting chat banned like its some badge of honor that they can't keep their cool over a game.

Sure as heck aint bragging . Think its funny how I get muted for calling tosh a p word and he can say f u back and never get muted

Perhaps you should take this up with HTC vs posting a LOOK AT ME THREAD.

See Rule #4

PT is a great town! I spend a lot of time on the Peninsula playing. I always hit that brewery in the marina dry dock for a couple of growlers of ale. Don't let the jerks make you behave poorly. Far more good folks here than bad and the game will only be as good as we make it. I love it, it's the only online game I play.

Yeah man they make some real good ale down there!!! live bout.. a mile away!!

Tosh is a retard, you should know better.
It's like playing basketball with a 'special' kid, you just have to let the double dribble go.

I once made a typo and got muted for 10 minutes. Fun times. :cheers:

Every player is responsible for their own behavior. No one is putting a gun to your head and making you act in a derogatory or abrasive manner. If you feel you were wrongly reported, you are free to challenge it.
Coming into our house and treating us (HTC) in a disrespectful manner will only hurt one person. If your goal is to get banned from our bulletin board, then just PM me and ask me to do it. It would save everyone a lot of trouble and nonsense. Thank you.

But in a combat game where ego, pride, disappointment, and the huge effort involved to get skilled are fact, to then, on occasion, get into an emotional battle with your opponent should be expected. Sure, you shouldn't get extreme, but some level of emotional release after a tense fight should be expected.
You ever been to a football game, soccer game, or participate in games and not see pure, raw, human emotion? Especially when fights are involved?
IMHO, HTC is a little too harsh/strict in this respect. :)
-
Some simple humans just can't control their emotions.

Never been chat or vox banned once in 9 years.
Maybe I should start a look at me thread as well! :rolleyes:

Yup, I would say calling someone an A-Hole on 200 can be considered poor form.

You are stepping into something you know nothing about. Making derogatory remarks about HTC, in the game, has nothing to do with battle. Making abusive remarks towards the community or towards the family members of a player has nothing to do with battle.
You ever been to a restaurant and had someone from the across the room yell obscenities at you and your family? Maybe you think that is fine, but I would support the management ejecting that person from his place of business for that.
This type of behavior is detrimental to our business and will not be tolerated.

I've played the game for years, and never called anyone out on 200 or a date to the Dueling Arena.
Lack of self control isn't an excuse and shouldn't be put up with. We are all adults here, it's time we act like it.

We care plenty as it is our business and livelihood at stake.

Fixed.
Midway hasn't ever called anyone out to the DA either...200 is another matter. :D
-
I feel that as long as the profanity is kept to a minimum and the comments are kept to ones in-game conduct it shouldn't be a problem.
Of course I also feel that you shouldn't be banned from the forum for using somebody's name. :noid
Goodbye everybody, it's been nice knowing you. >.>
-

Understood. You do a good job. When you get frustrated its much easier to talk poo than do nothing. And im working on that. How long do i get muted for?
-

The OP's mute was apparently player generated. Besides, you quit the game. What do you care?
-
I usually Don't speak on these type threads but ....
I was raised with respect. Respect for others, respect for others properties and respect for family.
It seems that we have forgotten respect for people. I know this is a game, but this is a game that requires
somewhat of an ego at times. We cannot control that. What I can control is how I act in game.
For me , that is simply RESPECT!! Growing up when I did, It's easy!

To be fair, that is not a valid comparison. There is no element of competition in a restaurant.

Who's miday ?

I don't know. Who is Miday?

Okay, try running an Olympic race and at the end of that race start being abusive and derogatory towards the other runners and then show compete and utter disrespect towards the sponsors of the race, along with cussing out the country you are representing.
What do you think is going to happen? I bet they do not give him a cookie.
-

It's a perfectly valid comparison.
You go into a restaurant to eat, you have paid for the privilege of eating there, you have not paid for the privilege of abusing customers. If as a customer I was abused by another customer and the management did nothing, I would not go back to the place.
You pay to play this game, you pay for the privilege of playing, you have not paid for the privilege of abusing other customers. If the game management do not control the abuse, customers who find it unacceptable will not keep their business with HTC.

The point that Midway made was that there is a certain degree of emotion and frustration expected when people are competing, and there is certainly an acceptable level of insult that is within reasonable limits to project towards another player.
Whether it is a video game, the olympics, a professional sporting event, etc. In any sport, jawing back and forth between players is very common, and fights break out in the NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL, every season, every game in the NHL it seems. To ignore this basic human nature is to stick your head in the sand.
Let me use this as an in game example, say a squadron is specifically targetting a player to hunt and shoot down, for example my squad shooting down FlyinFin anytime he is online because we like getting under his skin. It is completely reasonable that he will go off his rocker on channel 200 crying foul and insulting us. Isn't that part of the fun?

It's mucho fun for me unless someone wants to pay my sub.

Not particularly. Vitriol on the channels is pretty sad IMHO. Pushing the other guy around is part of the game for sure, verbal abuse not so much.

There was no point made. It was an attempt to rationalize derogatory and abusive behavior.
The player makes the choice to behave in the manner they chose to. You can sit at home and rant and rave all you want. The minute you put it on the public radio channels you then acknowledge you are ready to be scrutinized for that behavior.
Tell you what grizz. Catch me online some time and call my Wife a derogatory name or make the statement, "hitech creatings the biggest POS company in usa" and see how long you last in the game. If that is behavior you want to support, then we are not going to see eye to eye, to say the least.
There is no rationalizing abusive or derogatory behavior. It is a poison which will eat away at the community.

Well said Skuzzy! :aok

When extreme cases are used to prove a point, it suggests a weak argument. The point you are missing is that there is a certain level of banter and insult that is acceptable, and to be expected in fierce competition. Telling somebody they suck at flying is insulting and arguably derogatory in nature, but not over the line, is it? There IS a line, a grey line albeit, but a line. That is the argument Midway made, before you started using examples of cases blatantly crossing the line. If you reread his post that you jumped on, you will realize that he is 100% correct.

No, he is not correct. This thread is about being way over the line. That is what the player got busted for. You guys want to support that, it is your choice.
I have not said what is acceptable. I have said what is unacceptable and you guys want to make it about something else.
If your taunting causes a player to quit his subscription, who wins? If the community reports a player. We will validate it, if the player being reported wants us to. The only question left to answer is, "How does this impact the quality of the arena environment?". That environment is important and we (HTC) would like it to be a fun and competitive one. You can have both.
The player you are harassing, for fun. I will not go ask him anything. If he complains, then it will be dealt with. When a player feels he has no other choice but to quit in order to get away from the abuse, we will step in.
Regardless of what you think is acceptable, when anyone starts running off players, they will find themselves in a position they do not want to be in.
-
If the community reports a player. We will validate it, if the player being reported wants us to.
So if I got enough of my friends to all report one person in the MA he would get muted?
-

Yes, he would, until he called us and we checked and found a call for those reports. At that time, we would unsuspend the player, and then suspend every player who issued the reports.
Abusing the system has its own penalties.
If you guys put half as much energy into playing fair and nice with the community, as you do in trying to figure out how to get away with abusing the community, it would be awesome!
-
Just kill 200. :D

That right there ^^^^^^. It is actually a lot easier just to be nice. The game becomes more fun, the overall community spirit improves and maybe a new player does not quit because he finds out he has entered a playground for bullies. It's embarrassing. I cannot even talk to outsiders who I meet about the game because then "I am guilty by association".

I am nice. :old:

Agreed. I now just block comms from the few guys who behave poorly and my enjoyment has increased exponentially. I get to play so infrequently that when I'm on I want it to be a great place. :cheers:

I thought this community was pretty tame. Have you taken a look at other games lately? AH has some of the most respectful players in it...I don't find harm in
some harmless ribbing now and then, it is a competitive game. :)

Well there's harmless ribbing and then there's personal attacks from guys like Rumal. I guess I don't get ribbed so much as personally attacked via pm or vox. I'm pretty good at laughing it off but at times it's annoying. If there was much more of that behavior I'd quit logging on.

With all due respect Rick, you were a trouble maker in Air Warrior. I enjoyed the show, but cmon now with the holier than thou.

Why is there a need to force mass-muted players to prove their innocence? 99% don't know to call the office and ask for a review. Why couldn't a mass report generate a PM to the Mod that is playing and let them make the call?

Neh. Don't let the mod make the call. Everything creates a log and it all goes to 11751 Alta Vista Rd, Suite 203, Keller, TX. I'm sure mutes aren't so common as to make reviewing them a chore.

That's one of the reasons they're there. Why not? It keeps Skuzzy from fielding the phone call and that, in turn keeps him from working on things I can play with.
Based on the sheer number of posts about being muted on the BBS, I'd say that's a poor assumption.

Respectfully acknowledged. I was the worst. I should have either had my ability to chat revoked or they should have cancelled my account. I certainly deserved it. By nothing happening I was never encouraged to change. And then one day I decided to make the change in myself shortly before leaving WarBirds. When I came to Aces High, I did not bring the fool that I was with me. It took a long time for those that knew me to realize I had completely changed and I had a bit of that baggage in AH but with time, most folks realized that my new attitude was not just lip service.
I really was the worst. I apologize for how I was. If I can find a way to treat people well, anyone can. But you have to want it for yourself. I hope that happens before you lose your privileges.

Excellent post and a good example. A lot of us got caught up in 'type wars' I reckon. I'm pretty much '200 free' now. It'd be great if the 'help channel' didn't occasionally resemble '200 junior.' I'd like to see the new players given a good first impression. ;) :salute :cheers:

Changeup, properly used, the report mechanism works. It allows the community a way to control the game environment. if they want it a bit spicy, then they can have it a bit spicy. If they want it mundane, they can have it mundane.
The number of times it has been abused is quite small.
The mods have enough on their plates.

Wow, so profound Hawker!
The point is, the rules are vague, and the line is gray. Some level of banter and insult should be expected, but extremes should be avoided. Simple concept that should be easy to understand for most.

Here's a black and white measuring stick for you: Treat the other player with respect (even if it means ignoring) and you will never have your chat privs suspended. Period. Looking for anything in the grey to see 'how far you can take things' is just experimenting with your inner brat.

Nastiness is a seemingly more welcome thing in this world lately. If you don't believe me think about the garbage on television. This doesnt justify anything, just a comment. This world is going the wrong way quickly.

I agree :aok

I'll start this with a joke.
There is no element of competition in a restaurant.
You've clearly never seen my wife and mother in law at the Olive Garden!!!
Now the serious part.
You guys are arguing with Skuzzy, who has the logs and the facts, and are supplying opinions and speculation.
Have fun with that :)
-
Grizz is a very smart and perceptive person. :old:
I miss you Grizz. :cry
At least you grace us with your presence on the forum. For that, I thank you. :rock
Scuzzy, obviously getting extreme is something that should not be tolerated, but I stand by my original comment that HTC is a little too harsh/strict, especially when in a grey area. Just my opinion based on thousands of hours of in game experience.
You can certainly tell me I know nothing about this and you can ignore this one person's opinion, but my love for what you all created compels me to at least give you my honest opinion, just in case you care. :salute

Grizz is a very smart and perceptive person. :old:
I miss you Grizz. :cry
At least you grace us with your presence on the forum. For that, I thank you. :rock
Scuzzy, obviously getting extreme is something that should not be tolerated, but I stand by my original comment that HTC is a little too harsh/strict, especially when in a grey area. Just my opinion based on thousands of hours of in game experience.
You can certainly tell me I know nothing about this and you can ignore this one person's opinion, but my love for what you all created compels me to at least give you my honest opinion, just in case you care. :salute
Seems clear to me that what Scuzzy is talking about extends much further than a handbag fight on 200, and into disparagement of the company. Judging by the OP's subsequent posts I would suggest the action taken against him was lenient!

Other correlations have been made but it kinda sounds like a guy who walks into a bar every night proving he can't hold his liquor or tongue by telling the bartender and owner how much the bar stinks then hopping on stage and trying to perform an impromptu karaoke number about it (and still expecting service at the end of it all).

It's like getting on a bike, bud. It would come back fast....and speaking from experience, I've found leaving for a while and "clearing the air" actually improves both enjoyment of and performance in the game. YMMV of course.

Whether it is a video game, the olympics, a professional sporting event, etc. In any sport, jawing back and forth between players is very common, and fights break out in the NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL, every season, every game in the NHL it seems. To ignore this basic human nature is to stick your head in the sand.
So you don't believe there is a price to be paid by this behavior...I think you are the one with your head up...er in the sand.

Your post is insulting, in that you are purposely insinuating my head is where the sun dont shine but not actually saying it. What you have done is decided where the line is and opted for an insult that doesn't cross that line. Thanks for unwittingly proving my point again champ.

Time will tell whether or not it crosses the line. I see you protest loudly when the game is played as you think is ok. You are a hypocrite.

There is no such thing as a "line in the sand" or a "gray area", as fixed ideas. It is all about context and the environment/atmosphere in the arena. It is, at best, a moving target.
Treating anyone in a manner, which is creating a negative environment in the arena, is also accepting the fact you may lose your text and/or VOX privileges.
That is about as simple as it gets.

So if I call someone "weak" and they report me, I get muted when the report logs are reviewed? Per your definition it was a negative comment and they took offense and since there is no gray area a mute is the only course of action. And since there is no gray area all punishments should be the same since gauging the severity of the offense implies there is grayness.

You won't get muted for saying "Your gunnery skills are weak, that's why you go for the HO" It's actually constructive criticism.
Saying "Your mothers skills as a ho are weaker than your gunnery skills", well, yeah, you're gonna get muted.
No gray area at all.

Seems to me that this reasoning is used to allow different levels of accountability. It certainly is on the boards. I told a joke on my first post after I had recovered enough to fly again. It compared hillbillys to English royalty . I was immediately PNG'ed from the boards. I apologized to everyone and since it was my first offense I was allowed back on. Then a little while later I posted some pictures of my then 20 year old daughter . One was a professional picture of her modeling a bra. Nothing you do not see on TV or catalogs. She was called a hore. She was made out to be a drug addled degenerate. I was called a pimp. The results ? Nothing, it was allowed. Was the offending post even deleted ? Nope. At best a moving target. It is entirely subjective and at best unevenly enforced. My one chat suspension. I told a man his momma should have unhinged her jaw and swallowed him whole at birth. If she had any social conscience at all. He said his momma was dead and that was too far. I was not chat suspended until the next day after he called and complained. I said this in reply to his comment that I was suffering from a closed head wound. Ever spend 13 months learning how to walk, talk ,tie your shoes again? I was still recovering from a closed head wound . An LOD injury I will never recover completely from. Results for him ? Nothing again. You may rationalize it any way you like to it is your baby. Please do not insult me by claiming it is enforced in anything like a fair manner. My daughter was called a hore and a drug addict. HTC did nothing. I was abused about an injury I received in the line of duty as a soldier. An injury I will never recover from completely. You did nothing in either case. Both were reported. Grizz and I hate to say it Midway both have a valid point. Regardless of your willingness to acknowledge it. I have probably gone too far. My sense of justice would not allow me to let it pass. I will pay the price for it if I must.
P.S the drug addicted hore graduated with honors from Oregon State and is now in training for the FBI. Still has not used a drug. She also will be marrying when she graduates Quantico. Not bad for her or her pimp dad.

Did you report the posts? If you did not, then it is highly unlikely we saw it.
We do not read every post on this board. Report the thread, if you want something done. I can say with 100% certainty I did not get any reports about any such thread, but rather that trust my memory, I would prefer you to show me that thread to be sure.
If nothing is done, it is because it was not reported.

Okay, the thread in question is from September 2008. I excised a post and when reading the rest, it was clear the thread was lost and so it was locked, back in 2008. A number of the people, posting in that thread, got suspended from the board.
Saying we did nothing is not a factual statement, at all.
Had I edited every post, which broke a forum rule violation, your posts would have been excised as well. I saw no point in adding insult to injury and to be consistent, just locked it and booted the offenders off the board for a while. The time of the suspension being commensurate with how many times each person had been suspended before.

hilblly I have the most beautiful daughter in the world. and the reason I never post pictures of her is because somebody is always gonna say something I wont like. and then there's gonna be a fight.
I am pretty sure your daughter is a decent woman, but you posting a picture of her in a bra was not a good idea. I am pretty sure you meant well but there's always gonna be others who will disagree with you.
if they made comments regarding her you should have expected that. you have been around the bb's a bit longer than me.

I never got an email from you and I cannot send you any responses via PM on the bulletin board (you have some auto-responder enabled) which is our alternate form of comms when email does not work with a player.
As I have said, for years, if you do not get an email response, within 1 business day of sending it, then we probably did not get it.

We do not have any office hours over the weekend. I do check the boards, when I am at home and try to help out, but things like this cannot be handled until we are in the office.

the other day, no one was willing to fight... I got bored trying to get people(ack bunnies) to fight... so I was trying to start a fight over an island base I was headed to... I stated on 200, "SkyRock<---owns the airspace over A16"... no one came off the field... so I stated, "reagan was a bad president" and immediately got a warning for talkig politics (which I see all the time on 200)... so I said ok... then stated, "jesus never existed" and immediately got muted for 2 hours...
I see politics and religion all the time on 200, and much worse... but either there was a touchy mod on, or some divine interference! :furious

It is not ignored. It is monitored. We just do not go into the office on the weekends. We answer a lot of questions before 6:30am, and after 6:00pm CST all the time, on the bulletin board.
We have monitors which notify us of problems with temperatures, power, server outages and so on. We have been in the office many times, at off hours making sure things run smoothly.

That other thread is still open, by the way. I can't say I didn't mean to put you on the spot. I actually did. I think the part where you gossiped with fellow officers about how those ridiculous enlisted types didn't give you the respect you deserved pretty much convinced me you never lead men in combat. Granted, I could be wrong, I guess. I've not lead nor have I followed in combat. But then, I've never claimed to. But those I've met .... who have .... have never acted that shamefully.
All I asked was .... what men did you lead in combat and where? I challenged you to put up or shut up ... with my offering to shut up if you put up. If it was classified you wouldn't have even hinted (well, you shouldn't have). Isn't there a better way you could impress a game community? Do you feel unfairly put upon? Are you unable to respond effectively? :)

You don't matter to me Arlo nor does what you think. I've already explained that to you so you must not be very intelligent. If we were friends, I'd tell ya whatever you wanted to know.

I have already explained this once.
Policies change. At one time we excised every post, even when we banned/suspended a person from the board. We no longer excise posts of the suspended people. We do this so we can point out why they got suspended when they email us and ask why.
I am not going to explain it again. If you cannot understand it, then contact me privately and I will be happy to go through it all over again and again, until you get it.
This should have never been brought to the board, to begin with.
