Title: Disgusting, insulting comments in the game
Post by: PopJanko on April 03, 2024, 10:23:31 PM
Tonight, I was witnessed to some exchanges of communication that have lead me to end my participation in what I think is the best air combat game ever.

Insults left and right, starting with gldnbb, then we had insults about beliefs and religions.

I no longer will participate in this game.

You know you can report, squelch, and detune 200 (if it took place there).

Maybe we're looking at this all wrong. Instead of free to play and stuff like that to get more numbers maybe HT just needs to make the game a safe space free from insults and trash talking? I'm not sure a online game exists that offers such things but we may be able to find a unicorn! :)

Just detune 200 as in country channels it's pretty little. Even seen it also, what is shameful.

Dont quit because of a few idiots.

.report "name" with report the offence to HTC
.squelch "name" will remove that player from communications, both text and voice

You can also detune 200. I preffer to squelch players because I enjoy the chat on 200 without the politics or ranting.

Of couerse it has absolutely nothing to do with the tremendous time investment and skill required to be successful in this game...

Piss off you will not be missed  :ahand

If there isn't a <S>, gf or gs in 200 it's ignored

Seems many here should try it sometime

This. 

Of course, complaints like from the OP won't have a reason then to post about themselves putting their foot down.  "Respect mah authoritah, and behave how I want you to"!

Remember.... words are just words. It's not what they say, it is how you take them. If a person is trying to get under your skin and you let them, they will most likely pile on. If it doesn't bother you, they will go find someone they can tweak.

It takes 2 seconds to type .squelch GAMEID.

it took you longer to come here and cry than to just deal with it like a man and type the command.

And then you quit the game?   

These are characteristic traits of a 3 year old.

On the other hand, those who regularly make that kind of comments and are even supported by some others are the venom spitters, who are really driving folks away. Seen it elsewhere and here we are going to same direction. But, who cares..?

My question is: Where are the mods? Aren't they supposed to be muting anybody that says anything out of line? Maybe they're more focused on which people are saying it then what is being said?

I don't know how many mods there are, but I doubt they are on 24/7, not with the current numbers.

From what I see, ya don’t even need to type. Right click a name on roster the option is in the RC menu.

We don’t have to wait on a moderator or management to do anything, they gave us the tools to moderate what we read on 200.  Just put the big boy pants on and squelch the offender or detune ch 200 that’s it, case closed.

Ha! I saw him in my backyard recently then later drinking a Pina Colada at our local Trader Vic's.....his hair was perfect.

He had nice shoes too.

It happens everywhere.  It's important to act right.  Some folks in this thread are deliberately trying to confuse the message.

The message was and still is crystal clear

And I will end my participation on this thread with this...

This is a man's game. All are welcome, few will survive. Define 200 if you can't handle it or do like the OP and be a quitter because gldnbb got drunk and ran his dirty little mouth :salute

I think many have gotten drunk and run their mouths. I seem to recall doing it myself once or twice.
I ignore them like the guy that gets Frosty and spews profanities on the bish county channel. Guess I don't get this new: "get butthurt about everything culture" Maybe AH3 could add a DLC for a thick skin?

Maybe a sobriety check feature before logging in is permitted would curb the majority of the immature and inappropriate behavior..

Probably one on the bbs would not be a bad idea either..

Many of us have been here more than long enough (as in decades) to tell you just detune it, squelch it, ignore it, or report it. No use bringing it here. Simple.

Some folks let other folks determine their fun.

Leaving a game that you very much enjoy because some dunderhead says oafish things is giving that oaf control over your fun.

That is unwise and fragile of you, to give some moron control over your enjoyment.

Better to ignore or squelch such oafs and control your own enjoyment to your benefit.

Maybe management could mandate the blood alcohol content of players must be a BAC of 0.11 or higher. That way nobody gets offended because they can make sense of what was written on ch200.
