Where are the rules for what is acceptable for discussion on 200? Just looking for the details and not a bunch of speculation please.
Monday night I got a warning for responding to something that somebody else brought up on 200. Never got a warning before int VR, it covers the whole screen! Not fun.
I was told to keep the discussion to game related topics. Does that mean no discussing the weather or the game? I'm curious what is "acceptable" and who is the decider.

In this day and age with questions about what free speech is and when what can be said to who, maybe canned responses would be better
Tied to numbers making sending them easier.
1 = good fight <S>
2 = your momma wears army boots..

Generally speaking, politics is verboten. Politics-adjacent stuff probably doesn't go over well. Covid conspiracy stuff, etc.
It's enforced by a cadre of unknown people who may or may not be logged in at any time. (I'm serious)
General rule of thumb- don't be a dick, and if they warn you, commenting on it or disputing it on channel will result in an instant mute. That's HT's policy.

The exact same can be said of players. The same players over and over.

Exactly. Let's see how the "He started it!" defense plays out. My money is on "not great".

This seems to be the case..... makes one wonder. :)

This was the first time I can recall getting a warning so I'm not one of those people you are describing that constantly are.
This incident was somebody said something about some pending legislation. Some people commented on it including myself. I just thought it was a stretch to get a warning for stating my opinion on it.
I mean if there was legislation to have a national speed limit of 100mph would we get a warning for discussing it?
It seems the enforcement was rather arbitrary so I was just looking to see if there was some documentation as to what the rules are as I have seen MUCH more political discussions go on and on on 200.

Yes you would.
You can always discuss on private channels. But any type of political discussion tends to degrade very quickly into name calling.

Thanks for clearing that up HiTech. Looks like you're feeling better :)

Politics, religion, Mr. Addink’s spelling, judging mods or arguing with them would be under the umbrella I’d think.

Aye. I usually don't get involved in 200 discussions at all and don't intend to again lol.
The only reason I was asking is because the thing we were discussing was rather tame compared to some of the stuff I'd seen previously on 200 and was trying to see if there was a specific list.

I have actually seen folks talking about killing aunts in their beds while in the yard... never uncles, always aunts. Scary sometimes.

No such list... it's a bit like speeding... you get away with it most of the time... then one day there is a cop there...is there any reason for the speeding sir... yeah...I didn't know you were here..
There are general rules...they get pushed...sometimes you get busted... and it is really annoying when you are in a line of traffic all going the same speed and you're the one that gets busted hahahaha

I got a warning too. that specific subject has developed into nasty fights before. I was surprised I didn't get muted since when i got the warning i pressed enter while forgetting i was already making another comment.
the player that started that conversation just kept going and going. that's the way it goes sometimes.

Sorry to do this, but that isn't true, unless every one is playing on the same side and we are discussing Chanel 200, The only cross country communications.
I can't even send a private message to an individual on the other side, even to a squad mate and it's the same with Squad Chan/Vox it don't cross country lines.
Again the only cross country comms is 200, You know because of SPYING and all.

any channel between 201 and 299 is private if nobody is on it. you can vox and text. also squad chanels do not have filters. but if reported mutes are doubled. i think.

Unless something has changed if I'm a bishop and my budy is a rook the only channel we can chat on is 200, 201-299 do not cross country lines, only 200 crosses over which is the point of this discussion as the OP stated ....

The reason to use 200 is cross country comms, that's pretty much it.

as far as I can remember when I started playing 201 to 209 will cross countries. it's always been like that. pigs used to use 252 for vox and text when we would play on all 3 countries. we never had a problem. right now me and a squadie use one chanel to talk and text when we play on different countries.

MNM we use 223.

That's my understanding as well. Most people use 200, but if everyone wanted to talk on 299, it would work the same way.

We still have to talk about the Beer supply then....

my input....
For anything considered "main arena" channel 200 is not useful. It's a distraction and also leads to some issues from time to time.
For maps that have focused scenarios, not so bad as usually those maps have folks who just want to have fun and everyone gets along.
The problem, Xerox, as you kind of inadvertently pointed out, is that there are occasionally narrow-minded individuals who want to profess all kinds of things in channel 200 and some who feel obligated to express their frustrations and/or weaknesses (sometimes incorrectly focused) with everyone else. I never found channel 200 anything but a distraction and an annoyance 'at best'

I was going 70 miles an hour and got stopped by a cop who said, “Do you know the speed limit is 55 miles per hour?” “Yes, officer, but I wasn’t going to be out that long…”

Channels 200 through 299 all are open for cross country communication both text and vox
Squad Channels for Squad members works both cross country and cross arena for text....but think Squad vox only works in same arena....no matter if you are on same or different sides....
At least this is how it was still working roughly a week or two ago
Hope this helps

As far as chat rules....
If you wouldn't say or text it in church, school, at work, in front of your grandparents, parents, kids
Then don't say or post it in the text buffer
It is really that simple!

remember my first day at the legion it was a Friday, left at 7 we were having a good time, they asked me why i was leaving, told them I had to go fly and kill some people. about 30 people stopped talking and were just staring at me.

Nobody wants to see or hear politics while gaming. Ever. :aok

In KN we use 262 (lol) for our cross country comms. Works with chat and voice if tuned correctly across countries in MA.
Also, learned that if I use my squad comms in text buffer (default red text I think), I can type a message in the MA and people in the FSO will still see it. I was in the MA playing with my bro while the rest of KN was doing the FSO two weeks ago or so, and they could see my messages and I could see theirs.
Edit: I'm also a naugthy boy on 200 so my understanding is no flame wars (like lasting longer than a few messages) and politics. Especially around the election in November.
