Who is flying Rook names DR7? Sad to see someone exploit that name. :mad:
-
he was in the SEAII tonight.
-
Noticed that too in Monday Night Madness.
-
Not the same name Dr7 vs DR7
-
Too close for comfort. The call sign should be retired. At least for a few years, if not permanently.

I agree that it's kind of a dirtbag move to lampoon his call sign, but what makes him so special that it should be retired?
As far as I know, there's no deceased players call sign blacklist.

Dr7 was a special fella who we must remain highly respectful to. This should be a Retired Callsign.

So was Pipz, and I'm pretty sure anyone could snatch his up if they wanted to.
If sacred shrine to the call signs of fallen players was not made for Pipz, then we're all fair game as far as I'm concerned.
-
Need to retire that name.
This Dr7 fake was mocking our man and acting like it was him earlier tonight. Then when I said something on 200 he pm'd me bad words and I was extremely offended by what he said. :bolt:
His squad name is Zombie squadron :x :aok
He ain't even tryin to hide it.come on Dale that ain't worth $15 a month.... :salute
-
Retire the name its the Honourable thing to do.
:headscratch: Only exception would be a family member who has decided to play on with his name.

We are QUICKLY coming to that Time as well! 28th-ish September! RIP PIPZ I miss him(pipz) more than words could say! I get your point...but TOO SOON? To my knowledge, NOONE has flown with PIPZ's Callsign? Pretty sure that you would have been repulsed, at anyone using PIPZ's Callsign, so soon? It just seemed to be, in bad taste, for some folk!

dALE ISN'T GOING TO KICK a player out because of a name

Agreed.

I don't think we want him kicked out...maybe just kicked in the nutzzz. The last thing hi-tech would do is get rid of a player when the games already got next to nothing g for players or a dev team.
-
Leave 'em alone. When we see the call sign we will think of our buddy Dr7 It might be his grandson. I have not spoken to the new player so I really do not know.

Given the mocking and other things he apparently said to other players, HIGHLY doubt it’s a family member as some have said.
However, what is HT to do, he can just come back with some concoction of Dr7, e.g. DrSeven
:(
Don’t know what the solution is other than maybe he’ll leave when the shock value wears off and everyone ignores him.
-
Maybe he is only here for 2 weeks.
:salute

The callings of the passed should be locked, end of story.
-
it's not the call sign dr7 that made him live forever. it was his attitude and the earned respect. like so many legends that are gone but still live inside us. a call sign is just a call sign, but it's the person that we remember.

Agreed.
When I kick, my spirit will be gratified to know that some noob has picked up my handle.

Seems it would be easy enough to code the game to allow only unique handles.
Upper and lower case should be easy to check
But as others have stated doctor7 or doc7 or anything like that would still be allowed
I think you guys are getting worked up more about than the real DR7 would have or would want you to be
It's a sad individual who needs attention so badly that they would stoop to that but hey it a new selfie world where everyone craves and seems addicted for the attention of others

GameIDs are not case sensitive. You can change the case of you GameID at any time.

Hi HT
It wouldn't have to be...only the initial check would have to be made in a specific case..
The comparison would be made after converting the handle data to all upper or lowercase and compare that to existing handles converted to the same upper or lower case thus preventing duplication which allowed this to occur.

You don't seem to understand, it is not a duplicate. There can not be a game id of both Dr7 and DR7. They are treated the same.
All Game id's are clean out from deleted accounts to be used again.

Yes I didn't know you were allowing handles to be reused
Never mind then

Unfortunately doesn’t seem to be the case, he has one star by his name in just a few days and as many others have said is skilled in many different aspects of the game. I saw him getting quite a few kills in a short period…he’s a veteran player.

poppycock

I ran into a guy with the handle Dran0 one night. Shot him down twice just for the infraction! Never saw that guy again. And flying a N1K too! Blasphemy!

Simple solution. Speak to the guy, explain that our comrade who has pass on used that handle and as a community we think it would be great if he, the new player, would willingly change it out of respect. Any reasonable person would agree to that.
If he disagrees with that then most likely he has chosen the handle for attention and in disrespect of the original. At this point anyone who takes exception to the behaviour can perma-squelch him and reduce the attention he can gain from the stunt.
-
This physically makes me sick
-
Any reasonable person would agree to that.
Therein is the problem; “Any reasonable Person..” if this guy was, this would have never been an issue.

he was spoken to about it in a polite and respectable manner in PM and 200. Multiple players reached out to see first if it may be a son or relative with no response. Multiple chances were given to communicate including walking through how to communicate via 200 and range vox. When the map reset to this player proceeded to act like he was Dr7 from the grave right before the map switched. Then at the beginning of the new map he created a squadron called zombie squad.....

as a paying customer I just want to say that it is comforting to the very least that you are aware of the situation. I did not want to personally bother you with this as your a busy guy. I am good with whatever comes out of this including no action at all. After my disappointment and border line anger has passed the simple fact that we have been allowed the opportunity to share what transpired for this long brings enough closure on the subject for me to move on and ignore it if it happens again. :salute

This has happened before and it probably will again before the end. :aok
<S> DR7
-
There are lots of re-used handles, more recently there's a seano and rekkof. Neither of home are the originals.
Also DR7 never participated on #200.

rekkof is an original. I knew him back in Warbirds and we just spoke with each other a week ago or so. . . .
-

Ah yeah, bad news then. So unanimous perma-squelch and give him/her no satisfaction.
-
agree Rekkof is original. I have flown with him in many flight sims going back to Red Baron on the INN Network. We both had some huge bills back
in those days :rofl and that was a really fun online flight sim.

You guys are being way over dramatic. Just report his behavior to HTC and be done with it. Put on your big boy pants.

Me too! He's been very quiet so I thought it was a new guy. Rekkof was -fokr- in WB right?

Dude, don't tell me Pipz is dead.
