tonight i got on about 1155pm eastern time. BETWEEN 1155PM AND 1215AM my comments were as follows:
maybe you should stop whining about it,and start doing something about it
and as a reply to a question put to me i answered
anything aperson could do that is world changing,prbably isnt legal
the moderator muted me for 10 mins for political talk.LOL
I WASNT TALKING POLITICS AT ALL.
AT THE END OF THE 10 MINS OF MUTE I ASKED ON 200 WHO WAS THE MODERATOR. I WAS THEN MUTED FOR 120MINS.....JUST FOR ASKING WHO THE MODERATOR WAS. THIS IS CLEARLY ABUSE BY THE MODERATOR AND I WANT SOMETHING DONE ABOUT IT BY HITECH.

Hurry up, there are still sub forums you didn't copy and paste this to...
-
Dude...
Well, in case you forgot, no one told you, or [insert nonsense reason here], you should never bring these matters to the boards, instead email Skuzzy at support@hitechcreations.com. And be nice to him.
-
I agree that you were unfairly muted the first and second time.
I do believe that you should have just swallowed your prize and emailed skuzzy about this.
I'm no expert but I have a feeling you are trying to get banned from the forum as well. You know this isn't a democracy.

it dosent matter if this is a deMOCKracy or not....what it is ...is a business. i pay for for use of the game,not to be bullied. i think things like this are reasons that people quit. and more people have been quitting than have been joining in the past 5 years. the game is in decline,i think to things like this happening. :salute
-
So quit.

I wonder how many people have quit because of folks who think it's okay to spout their drivel in the arena?

You've also had your score reset in the past........

You can always detune 200 if it bothers you. Many have quit for sure because of the censorship. Grown ups don't like to be nannied. I really can't understand why HT hasn't implemented a perma-mute list function though. It's just idiotic to have to mute certain players every day again.
-
So quit.
Yep, this is the answer AH needs, really. :uhoh
-
Censorship...
:rofl

The guy's a serial friggin pest - HTC wants someone to cover Alpini's 15 I'm good for it.
-
Does anyone email HTC first about this sort of stuff and discuss the chat records for understanding? Every time it seems to start here it ends here with a stunning revalation of the three sides to the story. Theirs, yours, and the factual truth.
Not saying none of this is true but historically speaking it rarely is. Similar to a mod saying they are a mod. Not likely to happen if they are truly a mod but if it did they would no longer be one. Also easily identified by those same chat records.
-
There is a very easy solution....
If you get a warning about doing or saying something, STOP DOING IT. Some people just cannot understand that concept without tears of "why oh why are they picking on me" :cry :cry :cry :cry :cry
-
IF, what Alpini says he said, is actually what he said, how is it politics? World changing? That could be Facebook to Bieber and in between or IBM vs Apple and not involve politics.
However, as mentioned above it often seems to be we hear the truth last.
-

Many, I suspect.
Like watching a good movie in a theater that smells like pee.

..... and strike THREE! Your out of there !

What I find a tad bit funny is the "flamers" in the thread.
For example Schref or whatever your name is. You added your two cents but who honestly cares? You're talking about "so quit" how about you ignore if this thread bothers you, no one here is forcing you to read it. I'm glad you have acquired the extremely useful skill of reading over the years but I promise you aren't required to read every thread.
Ripley you never have anything good to say so I don't even bother reading your replies anymore. You classify everything as a whine or a cry. How about focusing some energy to getting better at the game. We get it you can spot a whine.
This is my 2cents and my whine, flame me please.
-
Just how many Mods are their anyway ? and is their a list of the names any where ?
-
HTC does have a puritanical code of conversation.

I've PMed skuzzy once or twice when I got a post deleted here, asking how it violated a rule. While we didn't see eye-to-eye on the issue, he was very polite, and I know the line to avoid now.
That being said,
Many have quit for sure because of the censorship. Grown ups don't like to be nannied.
I wholeheartedly agree with this. I understand their point, that this is a family-friendly game and site, and so I can understand things of an inappropriate nature ('Adult' content, swearing, etc.) being off limits, when they banned political discussions in the forums, I really stopped checking in. There are a lot of very intelligent people here, much more so than I am in this area, and I enjoyed the discussions and actually learning things from my fellow AH pilots, and things feel rather empty now that everyone is tip-toeing around. It's their game to do what they want, certainly, I just wanted to agree that I'm not fond of how long the list of "no-nos" is getting.

Perhaps they could start a purely politics only section. Or make it one available to paid subscribers. Dunno. But they really don't need to when you consider there are plenty of political forums out there so no need to have a section of their own here. Politics and religion are touchy areas well covered in many other forums and all have their own set of problems that would be the same problem here.
-
Discussing politics or religion in MA or in the forums is ok as long as you don't diss Republicans or Bible Belt Christianity
The main moderator is Joseph Raymond "Joe" McCarthy's ghost it would seem
-
remember the moderators are there to moderate. i ,in no way challenged a moderator. i simply asked who the moderator was. what if someone wants to contact the moderator for another reason?
-
and to respond to jeep....YES i emailed hitech on this matter. i have gotten NO reply as of yet. which would be another reason for someone wanting to know who a moderator is during hours when the office is closed. maybe a person wants to ask someone in charge a question and dosent want to wait 3 days for a reply.

If you want to talk politics or religion there are boards for that too. This is a board pertaining to a flight/tank game. shouldn't be too hard to figure out.

You couldn't live through a 2 hour mute and needed a response right away???? LOL!!!
-
i did not and do not want to talk politics.......thats the reason for the post.

Colonials should be muted for at least 2 weeks

Wrong, my only 2-week vacation was for the contrary of the way you say it is.
I didn't read the article in full that I posted a link to, but criticism was directed from the side which you say is "ok" to do so. No warning, 2 week vacay.
Jus sayin...

THIS! This right here x 1000. If you are slamming Obama or Democrats you don't get muted, period. Try to counter their spiel and it's mute city. I wonder if HTC ever looks at who was muted and why or if they let their Mods run willy nilly. I betting it's the latter. If you're going to mute for politics, at least be even handed about it. Right now it's not.

Wrong, see post above yours RPM.

I did see it and I dispute it. It is a rarity if it happened. I've believe what the OP says and actually saw his muting the second time when he asked about the first time. I see Conservative drivel all the time (usually among the same crowd on late night) and nothing happens to them. If somebody speaks up and counters them, they get muted. It happens just that way. Look at the mute logs (if they exist) and you will see the pattern. Until I'm shown evidence to the contrary I will maintain this position.
If you're going to mute people be even handed about it. There is a buddy system firmly in place right now.

This is the main problem with censorship and 'moderators' they impose their own morals and views. So AH world is ok as long as you agree with the moderators own ideas.
While I certainly understand why the chat is modded I think the whole system is really flawed in the sense that even the allowed subjects eat away from game immersion. Taunting other players can be fun on 200 but having a rambling brainless chit-chat going on does the game no favors. I say ban all non-game related talk!

Clearly the use of the words "real life" brought that hammer down....

Mods are not on 24/7 That being said I have seen a ton of stuff on 200 that should not have been typed out, but it was and nothing happened and it continued for hours. I dont think every chess piece has a mod lord knows I Knights cant have one with all the stuff posted by some on country lol. Without a mod on every country some mutes I could see would be bias, just human nature to over look what your friends might do or say.
simple fix is do away with chl 200, people wont have to start these threads and the game will be better off without chl 200. any noob who reads 200 would log in about a nano second.

I'm waiting for the part where hitech provides us with a transcript of what really got the guy muted.
