I'm just wondering why sincere criticism of AH is so censored? It seems to me that you would want to know what the sincere complaints of the game are. Just wondering why you would want to lock and ignore them? Has censorship ever worked well in the past? I don't think so. I have spoken to many in the game who say they don't bother with the message board for just that reason. A wide variety of voices give a better pitcher of what is really going on. Embrace the dark side.
A parachute only works if its open, if it closes you plunge to your death.

Not pitcher, pixture.

I laughed way harder than was called for.

Complaining for the sake of complaint accomplishes nothing.

Have you ever been in charge of something like a committee or group to get something done. It is like pushing a wet rope. No matter how hard you try, you can never please everyone.

It's called....HITech can do as he wishes as it is his game and this board is his property. You can criticize him/or game where ever you wish, however he does not have to tolerate it and I don't blame him. Behold the power of freewill ......you have freewill to criticize game.......and he has the free will to squish it as he pleases. Read the terms of game....anything that is counterproductive to game play and the game environment will not be tolerated. :salute

I think the censorship is a necessary evil, because of peoples anonymity behind a computer, and the tendancy for mean spiritedness when not accountable for their comments. also its HTC's sandbox and he makes the rules!
-
If most people actually tried to get better at the game instead of complaning about it, they would have a lot more fun and success. Such is life, I guess.

Your premises is completely false.

Sincere criticism of the game is one thing. Criticism and/or abuse of the staff is something else entirely.
I have seen far, far too many posts that essentially tell Hitech that he's running his company wrong. Even when Hitech comes on and says, "We tried that. It didn't work." The response is usually, "You're wrong! It would be better that way." So the thread gets locked because he doesn't need that drivel clogging up the board.

Violation of Rule #...

You were not doing too bad until you threatened him with this and undercut your own veracity:
Embrace the dark side.
A parachute only works if its open, if it closes you plunge to your death.
Over the years I have noticed it has never been about questions over specifics if they were respectful, honest or innocent. It is the lack of respect often in the delivery and for the answers given or not given.
Now you will never know if you would have gotten a better answer from Hitech, unless your goal was to start a troll hiding in it picking a fight with Hitech. Kind of a self answering post you started here with your own actions, aint it......

You have experienced a bag lock!!! You might wanna try to deploy your reserve. :)
HT,
You Dweeb :P ...when are you gonna come visit?
Maxy,
Glad to see you're still around. :D

"Give a man a mask and he will tell you the truth."

who is going to notice this thread has not bin censored yet?
-
Virtually every complaint topic in the forums is a rehash of another old complaint that has been dealt with in one manner or another. Parents understand....
Child: "I want so and so"
Parent: "No"
Child: "But I want it!"
Parent: " NO!"
This goes on until the parental ban hammer comes out. Some people won't take no for an answer, and because of this, HiTech's ban hammer has, deservedly, a hair trigger.

I laughed way harder than was called for.
I hope you didn't hurt yourself.
Damn!

Sincere criticism isn't censored. Berating your host, which is what you frequently do, is generally not tolerated anywhere.

Lefty, we have some great tools in this game and on the boards. One of the tools I discovered a long time ago is "Show posts" where you can look at all posts by a player, except for those deleted for breaking rules. After reviewing your posts, I have recently discovered another tool here.
-
I am actually amazed lefty has been banned yet. I think this is what he wants.

Questions and suggestions aren't censored from what I've seen. When it gets personal or against the defined rules is when the staff gets involved.
Works for me...
-
It's a control thing.
-
I post a lot of complaints about gameplay....don't get censored too much :devil

Does anyone really care what Lefty & Alpini think??
The squelch command is my friend.

Have you taken the time and effort to check it out?
To the OP....
I have NEVER been quite about my feelings for the game or game play. In the dozen years here I have only had one message from HTC, and have only had one "vacation" from the message boards. While I have been vocal about how I feel, I have tried to NEVER be disrespectful to HTC and its employees. You seem to think that trying to slap HTC or their employees around is going to get you some place or make your comments have more meaning. All it does is make you look like an idiot and get you censored. You would think after the first couple of time you'd figure that out.
You DO realize Alpini was the former Swampdragon who had his score reset back around 2010-2011?

Burgers....yuuuuummmm.
Not currently in game. Kinda busy workin' (ie. playin' with toys) in SB's new RC hobby shop. Goin' home at the end of the month and might pick up my gear then.

Workin'? You slacker. But hey, as long as you're looking doing it.... :uhoh

No slacker here. Just livin' large in a small world. :D
Good to cya.

Holy crap, look at what the cat dragged in! Howdy NB!

I personally enjoy seeing whiners shut down. If I want to hear moaning and complaining I'll get a job at the local daycare

Ok, now that's funny :rofl

Acks & Shuff,
Great to see some people worth knowing are still hangin' out around here. BTW, it wasn't a cat and it wasn't a window. It was a dog thru a window. :)

INteresting concept. . . :D
my limited experience on the board has taught me that wishes, desires, complaints, and ideas are typically met with 10+ years of the game growing and morphing into what it is today. Believe me, if you think you're covering something that this community hasn't already, well kid, you're just like I was. Wide eyed and bushy tailed ready to make the game BETTER.
Best advice I can give: RESEARCH! More than likely the subject matter you're concerned about has been discussed in the past. Always construct your questions, requests with a grain of salt and DO NOT abuse those who are trying to learn you.
sorry bustr, I'll never forget the stereotypical smack down for running my mouth thinking I was the only one to think of the idea in the history of the game. It was needed and I appreciated the private convo we had on the subject (putting my youngster butt in my place where it belonged)
Cheating is a taboo subject on the BBS and in game because I believe the boys (HTC) are aware of the potential exploits, but cannot address them without significantly changing the game mechanics. The result is, they are VERY aware of the avenues nefarious players may take and through player observations, deal with them swiftly and with extreme prejudice.

See rule #7.
Sorry but your last paragraph is inaccurate and could cause issues. I know it was not your intent.
HiTech
-
:bolt:
Edit: Please observe and report directly to HTC. Period.
Sorry HTC and Co., last paragraph was my personal take, not gospel.
Glad you understood my intent. :salute
-
That last HTC post puts this whole thread in perspective. HTC is a class act. While you can't please everyone, they do one heck of a job trying. They understand where you are coming from. If you don't approach it properly then they have to let you know.
-
Holy cow NB, thought you were picked up by the mother ship sir.
-
It's a multi-generational gathering of players. Please reopen the DA when Dedalos and Bighorn show up.

Nice to see some familiar names! :aok

I have not played in quite some time, maybe I will come back. Who knows. There has been criticism on this board and HTC and done different things in the past to try and help the squeaky wheels. Problems is everytime one thing is changed then another group of squeaky wheels emerge. Never going to keep everyone happy. Never will.
Sorry lefty I think your out in Left field

You should come back.
And, you should play in the scenario that will be running Saturdays in June at 3 pm Eastern (in Special Events II arena).
We *need* more pilots in it. We *want* more pilots in it. It will be great fun, full of action, and will be GLORIOUS!
If you want to fly as part of a group all four frames, send me a message, and I'll get you set up. If you can only make some of the frames or aren't sure which ones, please feel free to show up by 3 pm on game day as a "walkon" -- you will get to fly.
Bf 109G-6's, FW 190A-5's, FW 190F-8's, Ju 88's vs. Yak-7b's, Yak-9T's, La-5's, Il-2's, and Tu-2's on the Eastern Front in 1943.
Also, for any pilots who run out of their three lives, we have unlimited Panzers and T-34's available for a rousing tank battle near Kursk.
Contribute to the beating heart and soul of Aces High -- come fly with us! :aok

I think when you look at other discussion groups and BBS on the web you can see the descent into bitter acrimonious negativity that can become too much part of the culture of a particular Board. It is their game and their BBS. They have the right to steer it towards the course the want. That said players do make complaints and many if not most are let to be aired freely.

When done with class and not with the intent of starting a turd flinging fest.
Those that complain about being policed are usually the ones needing to be.
I think I may have has 2 post that were Skuzzyfied. Both time I knew I was getting close but not how close. It might not just be your post alone either.... it sometimes can be the general direction that you may be helping the thread to evolve.

Please tell me exactly what is censored.

"Give a man a mask and he will tell you the truth."
Or as the Romans said, "In Vino Veritas"...
That being said, if you want people to say only what you want to hear, waterboarding is both effective, and exciting!
