Title: leaving due to obvious racism on 200
Post by: reznik on August 17, 2014, 06:37:22 PM
After recently engaging briefly with some racist scum on 200 who made jokes about an unfortunate man who was executed for being a thug I have decided that this company will not get my 14.95 any more. I hope you right wingers are happy, you chased off yet another player. Maybe there are enough right wing douchbags to keep this sim alive but I sort of doubt it. Hitech you need more active moderators on 200. or else face the consequences. I for one am going to every gaming forum I know and complaining about this game. Bye!

Why did you tune to 200? Why does anyone?  :huh

Incredible that people feel the need to type that kind of crap.   If those are your true feelings, keep them around your bigoted families dinner table and off of 200.   

Reznik, it sucks to see a player leave on this type of note.

Channel 200 is rough.  When I played, sometimes I would have to detune it.  Got me too distracted from flying. 

But you are playing the race card here.  Cry me a river.

Once you have typed;
.report #name#
.squelch #name#
All you have to do is carry on flying and enjoying yourself.
Doing what you're doing is a little silly.

Gonna guess that DaveBB provided nothing productive to the discussion.   Reznik, he is proof that the ignore function works as intended.

It is a damn shame we have to deal with racist people in the first place.

.report #name#

In cases like this, take screenshots and send em in to guide HTC's attention to this. .report alone doesn't really do that.

Oh, and it works :)

The easiest solution is to not even tune in channel 200. Since I resubbed, I have not tuned into that channel for even a second

If the op be still around, email htc.  I've run into things in the game that are plain wrong.  I emailed HTC, and they took care of it.

A) it took me about a week to figure out don't even read 200
B) racism has no place in this world anymore it exists but it annoys me because it's pointless and stupid
C) don't let the bigots win.. shoot em down

So are you going to take your ball, too?   :rofl

Seriously... if you can't take the heat then don't play with the lighter. If you cant handle an opinion different than your own then you had better do 1 of 2 things: Learn to ignore or learn to accept. Life is so much easier.

I suggest to the OP to do a gut check and hold fast your own tongue, stop stokin' the fires, stop trying to get the last word, stop labeling, and most of all STOP THE DRAMA.   :bhead 

Oh... and btw... no one knows jack squat about what happened. We've heard no official account, no autopsy report, no forensic evidence, nada. So I suggest everyone sit back and relax a bit and let it play out. If the LEO did wrong then let the justice system work. Your opinion, and every other opinion is just that. Nothing more.

Doesn't HTC have a system where if enough people report one person they get auto muted? Like 1-2 week mutes?

Most western countries. Especially mine. Have a very poor history regarding issues of race. I would just try to ignore all this BS as much as you can.

It's sad that you had to enter your opinion on the incident into the whole of the issue.   I doubt you have any personal knowledge of what happened in Ferguson and I doubt you are personal friends of any of the principals in the incident.  What you have done is posted your opinion on what happened, then labeled other players as a political adversary because you obviously do not agree with their politics.

Here's a thought.  Take your politics elsewhere.  Take your opinions on other's politics elsewhere.  Stop tuning to 200.

As for the rest of it, you should have sent a private message to the company and let them handle this.

This argument cuts both ways, both the OP and the people he is complaining about should take their politics elsewhere.

Racist people exist. You can either ignore them and give what they say no power. Or you can let it effect you.

No reason to leave just report them and move on. Plus why lump a few bigots with all "right-wingers."

Screenshots do not work without the report. Skuzzy said they received doctored zcreenshot before. :old:

See Ya!

Whining because someone said something you did not like!

I have never tuned to 200 because its full of gibberish!

You did the right thing by leaving, whining on our forums is the daft part.

Right wing what gibberish,  its called being in a bad mood in the real world

Pretty much. Just report them and carry on, quit being a "victim". You act like HTC approves of that nonsense.

Agreed. Grow a pair. If someone is behaving in a way which violates the rules, in game or on the forum, report them. It DOES work.

I'm not keen on racism. It seems to be another means of self-elevation at another's expense (aka "abuse"). Many forms of this are readily available on 200. I see little reason to let those who choose to attempt abuse have the satisfaction of knowing they've succeeded in getting to anyone. Why not just report them and move on? Otherwise, it's not really worth my time.

what IS worth my time: saying the following...

THIS WILL NOT END WELL!!! I AM IN BEFORE THE LOCK AND AM THUS AAAAAWESOME!!!  :banana:

Dont report them squeltch them :old:

This attitude of letting someone make a decision for you is gibberish,

Tell Skuzzy?, do it your self and dont communicate with people you dont like.

The first thing i do when i log on is bring up the  roster and squeltch people i dont like.

Not very sensible to blame the company for something a customer says. The same guy probably sues 7-11 for a racist remark heard on the isle.

We are all  raciest and or bigoted in one's deep inner thoughts.  The problem is how people deal with their bias.  A person should be open to self critique.  A lot of people are not.  To strongly take one side or the other is wrong, period.  Jumping to judgement on either side is a bit raciest.  

Differences between people range from color to religion to even a person's size.  I have heard many people claiming to be nonbiased use the term, "Until the fat lady sings." as an example.
 
HTC turn off ch200.

It's been years since I have played AH, sadly there are sweetheartbags, racists, bigots, etc. in every and I do mean every online game/MMO I have ever played.
Don't even get me started on comments sections on youtube, any news site, forums, etc.

Just turn off the chat channels, and don't read comments.

Nuff said!

PS. LOL sweetheartbags...that's just awesome.
