I WISH WE HAD AUTOSQUELCH FOR PEOPLE WHO USE ALL-CAPS ALL THE TIME. IT'S QUITE RUDE AND ANNOYING.

The irony of you making that comment since you are one of the most flagrant abuser of comms with your vulgar PMs each time you get shot down. You're worse than vDALLASv was in that regard.

If you are having to squelch that many people, then you might want to consider how you are interacting with them.

THIS!!!
And I can't tell you how many times people have politely requested certain persons who shall not be named to stop using ALL CAPS ALL THE TIME. It's maddening.

I suffered this very thing. I was then told I would be reported to HTC for being abusive. #Irony

My squadron has a no-squelch rule. :old:
Come on over. :banana:

Regardless of the OP, it has always seemed a bit silly to me that the squelch list is limited in size, and not permanent. Regardless of reason, if you want to squelch you should be able to squelch.
But HT's aware it's been asked for, if he were going to change it I'd have expected it to happen by now.

I imagine it is not permanent in order to allow for mending of fences. Nothing wrong with that.
Guys have gotten cross with me in the heat of the moment. A permasquelch would never have allowed us to patch things up.

That's something that the ingame moderators should take care of.
I mean a couple words now and then in CAPS like NME CV 12.11.4 is one thing, but when every reply is CAPS it's a bit out of hand. :furious

That's about the only thing that makes sense, but the size limit is still silly IMO.

I can sympathize with that sentiment.

You might try a wish where you ask for a toggle that will turn off all of your own text and VOX across the board instead of getting him to give you an unlimited list to discriminate against other players. Self discrimination does not seem to bother him.
Dear Hitech, please give us a toggle to completely turn off our own text and VOX at will.

Are you suggesting he squelches himself? :rofl I love it...

The current system is limited and people work around it if they have a mind to do it.
Example: player A spams voice comms and players B to Z squelch player A. Works a treat.
Player A is a class dick, logs out and back in again. That takes maybe 30 seconds. All squelches are removed and have to be reinstated. Rinse / repeat but the idiot spammer gets to spam away all night.
If the system was to squelch for 6 hours unless actively unsquelched that would seem to be a better solution. I say 6 hours as that is in line with the side switch rule so there is a precedence that HTC believes that time is somewhat appropriate.

You gents always want Hitech to give you tools to impact how others are playing the game or conducting them selves even if it's as passive as squelch. They pay the same $14.95 you do to act like what ever kind of fool they want to. And they may look at you wishing Hitech would give them a tool to impact whatever they don't like about you.
Hitech has never granted a perma squelch or anything close to it like a semi perma squelch. He has been consistent for the 16 years I've been here. The only wish no one has ever asked and might probably get implemented, is the ability to turn of all of your text and VOX so you cannot read or hear anyone if you are that offended by others in the game. He may support your personal choice to turn off your own ability to be offended by others paying the same fee to be in the game. That would truly be your own choice.

If you're just sick of the babble on a channel, it is possible to detune it. I do it sometimes to 200 and occasionally to 2 when the politicking gets a bit thick.
Regardless of reasons why or who the OP is, a squelch list that has a limited capacity on it in this day and age is somewhat silly. Permasquelch, I get why he hasn't implemented. I don't agree, but I understand why.
Sometimes, you just don't care what some prolific talker has to say, and bustr, explain in detail (HA like you'd do anything else) what in the world squelching someone does to impact their gameplay? They get no message, they continue to prattle on, you just aren't exposed to whatever they're spewing.

I have set up a lot of extra tabs for this, so I don't even need to detune.
For example I have an "ALL" tab, which shows all channels I am tuned to. Then another one which do the same, except for CH200. And another one where country channel is not shown. Also, a tab with only system messages showing, in case I just want to fly and don't put up with anything. I think I'm now at 7 tabs with various combinations of channels. :D
No need to detune/tune anything, just a click on the righ tab and peace is mine...

Yep, a good way of doing it with the current setup. I had forgotten but I have a couple tabs but I can't remember how I set them up, but it's probably something similar to what you've got there.

99% of the time I don't squelch for people being foul or abusive (I don't offend easily), I squelch because they're blabbing incessantly about something I could not care less about. Depending what I'm up to, I might squelch a guy that's talking about the BBQ he ate for lunch, or how his kids are doing at soccer, or politician x, or whatever.

A thrilling conversation from tanks about dog food as I fight for my life above them is an instant squelch once I die.

Lets see has been asked before and answere was no i won't implenent a perm list. Answere is still the same.
HiTech
IIRC, the reason why we don't have a permanent squelch list isn't to give each side to "mend fences" as suggested by some posts in this thread but because of the possibility of an innocent player being permanently squelched.
For example, Player A is put on someone's permanent squelch list and then Player A quits the game. Now, along comes new Player B that happens to select old Player A's handle and is automatically permanently squelched because the original Player A was put on someone's permanent squelch list. That is why HiTech has not implemented a permanent squelch option to the game.

Yup. But having it limited in size is still kind of silly.

Most games have a limit on how many players you can "blacklist" (or squelch in our game).

Hmp. Bit surprised. I've never hit the cap in another game. Perhaps HTC could lead the way by making it unlimited? ;)
