Apparently in my response to gldnbb's continued harrasment I probably called him an idiot and got myself banned for 7.6 days (what an odd number)...
It is quite alarming considering the crap he spews every single day to the whole team.
Cancelled the auto-sub but who am I kidding, i'll probably be back.

the only reason I learned how to spell "squelch" was for some of those "great" players we run into.
See ya in 8 days! <S>

Must of hurt the feelings of a mod
-
gldnbb's harassment was a pretty annoying experience when it happened to me.
I think AcesHigh would be better off with him being muted for 7.6 years.

Ha, I remember making a wishlist post over a year ago asking for the ability to permanently squelch gldnbb, the thread got toxic quickly....how fitting its now causing me to look at other games.
-
Apparently if you reported him in game you got banned, which is very counter productive for reporting toxic players.

Yup, happened to me too. I probably just won't bother to play for (7.2 days) now.
Context for the ban: gldnbb is one of the very few truly toxic people playing the game. Doesn't use foul language, but posts false accusations about other players' motives as a matter of course (Osmium is trying to sabotage the team so bish can win" etc) and has hissy fits if his strategic visions for the team are not followed. A squaddie and a friend were rook when I logged on so I switched over to rook to fly with them. BB was in full rant mode against Haggerty, and two or three players besides the three of us were clearly also annoyed by it and said so on country. The suggestion was made to report him and I agreed and did so. Maybe five minutes later I was "ejected" from the game, and now I find I can't communicate with fellow players for a week.
Doesn't that seem both excessive and counter-productive? I didn't knowingly violate the terms of "Report Gldnbb chat"--I don't even know what those terms are, honestly. And I can't remember the last time I reported a player's chat. I just had had enough--as had others--and wanted to make a statement in that regard. And now HiTech is apparently making a statement that reporting a toxic player is emphatically unwelcome?
I'll probably check in on occasion to see if my ban has been lifted. If it hasn't...well, when I log in in my morning there are typically ~20 players on, nearly half of whom are afk. I communicate a lot of country and 200 and like to think I add value to the game when numbers are so low. One less non-prime time player is going to make the game even more boring and dead that time of day. I'm guessing Picko got the ban, too, and he's the primary guy who makes the game dynamic and fun then unless you count the Tropical Thunder horde. If he's gone, too..?
Really seems short-sighted, doesn't it?
Oh, well.

Wonder what you people do in real life when people annoy you...haven't you just learned to ignore them yet and just continue to have a great and blessed day?
If not...try it, works wonders....anyway, enjoy y'all day and this game...which I play to shoot people and stuff in a bad bellybutton plane...not read crap on any channel.

Why do this guys antics ring a bell? Sound so familiar

People don't do that in real life because they'll have repercussions. I was still enjoying my day and gameplay, shouldn't be punished for reporting toxic activity using the ingame method for doing so.

Kinda my point...if we just ignore, no need to report or whatever else...this thread wouldn't exist
-
I've never heard of being radio banned for reporting people. Is this new given Shane's complaint about people abusing the reporting tool? I never report, so I wouldn't know. In any case, if players are giving you a hard time. Just tell them to shove off and ignore, or mock them. Usually that fixes it.
I've been guilty before and usually the 10 minute radio is warranted. But it certainly seems like a few of you guys are inside the mod watch list waiting for the slightest insult to give yall at a radio ban. Atleast per how it appears on the forums.

He doesn't stop if ignored, he is constantly attacking the whole country and then berates anyone who dares do something else on the map. The in-game report isn't explained anywhere, I assumed it send a recent log to a mod to see that it's a legitimate report. It shouldn't be a big deal that causes the mod to ban the reporting player. If they read the logs they would see that BB needs to be muted for the sake of a non-toxic play. It's already hard enough for new players to even get inside the game, the servers upload speeds are .25 mbps, taking over 2 hours to download the game, then another 20 minutes to download whatever map is active...we don't need new players berated and then banned for reporting it. I wasn't banned for responding to BB, I was banned for reporting his behavior.

.squelch player name <enter> Said player can rant all they want but you wont hear or see it.
As for the ".report" it marks a spot in the logs for HTC to check and find easily. The server also keeps count of the number of reports on players. When it hits the limit set by HTC that player gets an automatic mute, no warning, just a mute. The player can request a check from HTC if they believe they were unjustly muted. If they were (a group of players reported the same player for no reason other than getting their chat privilege's cut) those doing the reporting get muted by HTC, but that usually takes days to turn around.
If a MOD gets involved they will usually WARN a player to settle down or else. If you then text a MOD with anything its an automatic mute, or if you dont drop the issue at hand you were warned about. You can ask HTC to check out the issues with the MOD by email, but for the most part I have never heard of a MOD getting taken down by HTC. They are usually right with how they handle the situation, or they wont be MODs for very long.

IMO, There is a fine line between rpt and squelch. Like extremes, If its disrupting the arena for a period of time, like consuming the text buffer, physical threats, illegal activity it needs to be reported at some point.
That said Shane makes a point. Some of those who report him are worse. We do have players abuse the rpt button, here too.
I have a small group that if I even reply to a thread they are in they stand on the rpt button, yet no punishment. Have you seen me post anything lately that requires a report? Yet right now my account is under Watched status. That group should be muted too.
So ya, when it comes down to it, over-zealous use of rpt here and there needs a clamp and example. Even if not so deserving, an example is required to get the word out to knock it off.
Know the difference between sparing and down right toxic.

For once I'm proud of ya :cheers:

Banned from ma or from just making noise on 200/vox?

Banned from communicating, I can still play, but chatting with your team is crucial in this game.

Have you considered calling HTC and asking them to take a look into this?

I came on a little late for the "episode", but as I understand it someone posted on 200 "everyone should just report this guy". :bolt:

I emailed right away because I knew I didn't say anything bad, I found out later that there was a suggestion to report him, I had already done so based on his texts. Will just have to be careful next time and only report someone's naughty texts if I think someone else hasn't done so recently.
-
The one and only time I got chat banned was for getting on country channel and basically calling for a mass report of a toxic player.
-
He is the only player I’ve ever squelched in my entire time and I do it nightly

If that happened, I didn't see it.
When I switched to rook I saw that BB was being his usual obnoxious self but to Haggerty this time, and Haggerty is almost always very chill. Picko thought it was funny but I was gritting my teeth because I'm one of the usual targets and I'm tired of it and don't like seeing it being done to others.
So, yeah, I reported him. Not to get him muted (although that would have been a very welcome side-effect). But because his demeanor deserved it. And yeah, I could have just squelched him and have done so in the past, but then you're being slandered over and over with no ability to defend yourself against false accusations because you don't know what he's lying about this time around. Not really a great option.
-
He is the perfect example of an armchair general. Ranting on country channel because everyone ignores him..

I wouldn't let his opinion or words about you bother you.. they hold no weight with anyone that plays this game.
Squelch is the best option here.

ahhhh so you squelch 2/3rds of the players all the time! :devil

He is a good example of someone that needs a side switcher to hunt him down and kill him repeatedly, that way he actually has something to cry over

And yet the paying players who report him are the problem.

If you guys just listen to what he says, you'll see no issue. He just wants to win the war.
Leaders lead. BB is a leader.

we all want to win the War but he does get carried away at time's ,,,,, I forget the last time I won a War with a country :headscratch: :headscratch: :headscratch: :headscratch:

There have been times when a bunch of players all got together and reported another player all at once just to get him silenced. There have been times when this has been abused by groups of players. So there is a system in place to stop people from abusing the report system. I don't know if it is automatic or not. But if it is automatic, that could explain the group squelch.

I have participated in the capture of several thousand bases since my return from ban. I have lead the capture of a thousand bases. I have captured on my own between 2 accounts a few hundred. I have worked with dozens of players to achieve strategic victory in a host of environments and situations. I have also worked with gldnbb and have even been squad mates despite his decling memory to verify.
Gldnbb just wants to win the war but he is no leader. He is an average strategic player at best who specializes in limiting the enemies logistical capability to wage an offensive. Anything outside of that and he is just mediocre. These episodes, which unfortunately for him have increased, parallel his alcoholism and manic episodes.
Let's let gldnbb and everybody else just be themselves. He pays his bill, actively participates in the game, and cant do a darn thing to anybody irl except get under their skin.
Hagg is taking his lick like a man despite the forum whine for validation and life goes on.
Gldnbb is my biotch. Anybody who wants a piece of him comes to me first. I'm the one who taxes that butt not a single one of you has claim on him. Saying that on 200 is what got me banned for 8 days and it was worth because it's just facts 👊💪💯
-
2 things - its freaking 50 perk points to win a map, it doesn't even go into a record book. The only time I care about winning a map is to force it to change to new map that provides better fights.
"Its Muh $15 a month" is a direct contradiction to winning the war and or your idea of strategy. You should never expect your team to have any strategy or communication at all. There's really no incentive at all to attack or defend a certain area. Expecting players to play how you want is always akin to disappointment. I can understand talking crap once in a while to get your team motivated but continuing to berate your teammates for not playing that way after playing for years and knowing better is akin to a mental condition.

Oh the HUMANITY!!

Gldnbb is no leader... and he is as mental as me :old:
The difference between him and I is simple.... Baaaahhh 🐐
Let it be known so nobody gets confused. The only FUSS that's exists with gldnbb in this community is between him and I and it all started because of this...
https://youtu.be/BIQNl5LEmig?feature=shared
Long live the FUSS :banana:

He never tries to win, all his orders are to defend a base. For example yesterday he was complaining that rooks have been ignoring A38 for the entire day, yet almost all of the rooks were there defending it. Every hour that went by he would complain that he's been demanding we defend the base...of course it was never taken because most the rooks were there all day defending it. I asked him to bring troops to a base and he said I was insane. Of course I had that town prepped and radar down, troops would've easily got in. It would've opened a gv front for the team to retake the island. Then again I wrecked the port for the CVs he was complaining about for hours, never got troops. It would've shut down any leverage they had on 38. He is only focused on not losing, but never winning.
But what do I know, he "plays chess while I play checkers"

So 50 perks a day is what the bish horde gets for having zero opposition except one or two who feed thier score over and over.
50 perks adds up when it happens every morning EST and I believe it's a big motivational factor.

1) it's 25 perks each for GV/buff/Fighter, isn't it?
2) The nit horde is up while the bish horde is still abed and the nits win most maps because of that.
3) We're almost all of us possessing more perk points than we will ever use. Why would getting another 50 or 75 matter?
I'm not criticizing, just edifying. Tropical Thunder is the dominant squad when I typically log on (4AM PST) and they are mostly Aussies and awake when Americans and Europeans mostly aren't. So they roll maps while most of the AH world is asleep.
-
Just cause gldnbb thinks he's a general it doesn't make it so. Not everyone cares about winning a war and if i like the map I'll just .squelch and do my own thing.. sometimes he can really provide extra entertainment i guess it depends on your mood

So there is a system in place to stop people from abusing the report system. I don't know if it is automatic or not. But if it is automatic, that could explain the group squelch.
Yeah, I vaguely remember that. And that the abuse was punished appropriately. But what happened recently was unlikely to be some sort of automatic response thing.
Let's say someone posted that "so-and-so should be assassinated for the sake of America" and a dozen players hit the 'report' button in response. Unless HT is an idiot he wouldn't have put in place an automatic eject, because statements like that can happen. He or a mod would have been alerted to the uproar and then have decided how to respond.
Here's what I think happened. (Never saw the 200 comment on reporting gldnbb but let's assume it exists).
Several people reported bb. I was one of them, know of two others. Three is not a critical mass to get someone temporarily silenced, is it? So there were probably more, perhaps spurred on by this supposed 200 comment.
HT/Mod steps in because BB whined about it or some sort of automatic alert flashed. The 200 comment is seen, and HT/mod knee-jerk assumes that everyone who reported him had been involved in a calculated attack against him, and does the eight day chat ban.
And here we are! Some of us at least tried to use the report function as it was presumably intended to be used. But a bandwagon was jumped upon and therefore everyone associated with it was presumed to be guilty and now I am pontificating here and listening to Band of Brothers on YouTube (they're great if you like power metal! Creative and don't take themselves too seriously lol).
Bottom line, if my assessment is accurate?
Just don't use the "report" function. Let country text and 200 go to hell because you might get punished for trying to do the right thing. (I work for USPS, I should have known this by now. Sad).

Um. Unless it's been recently changed, auto-mute happens just as you describe. I think the magic number is 12, but I'm not sure.
It's a real problem, and has been for years, because lots of people know about it and abuse it. Given HTC's limited resources, it's difficult to police the abuse.

I've little doubt that automute happens that way, but my argument is with the aftermath.
Automute happens after a critical mass of complaints. Were they legitimate or not? That's where HT ought to step in.
I get it it that this isn't black and white. A lot of ppl reported BB and he didn't use four-letter words or say we should assassinate the President. So, yeah, HT is right to at least consider the premise that BB is being unfairly targeted.
But my problem with the mod or HT is that he apparently knee-jerk assumed BB was being targeted for being an annoyance (he's annoying in general, but that's not the reason at least some of him reported him for specific things) and wanted to solve the matter in the simplest manner possible. No willingness (or time?) to get the context.
Poof! Short term problem gone!
The fact that this encourages the most toxic player in the game to keep doing what he's doing?
"I'll deal with that later if it might affect my bottom line."
My opinion anyway.

thats fine and dandy if you know hes there. Sometimes he will just start spouting out on Vox F this and F that. Calling people morons and swearing up a storm. I cant have kids around or I have to put on my headset. If people report him ,somehow they get muted? Hes one of the most toxic players I have ever seen in game and he seems like hes untouchable somehow.

someone posted instructions for a permanent squelch script. id suggest building one. its saved me a lot of hassle from certain people.
good luck out there fellers

I've never heard of being radio banned for reporting people. Is this new given Shane's complaint about people abusing the reporting tool?
Have you ever noticed that certain players can mention something and it gets addressed immediately while 10 other players can mention something much more simple and it never gets addressed?
In my opinion this comes down to "some players are more important then other players"
It's funny every time I think about coming back I see something like this and knowing I'm already on the mods hair trigger list and would get muted for something that "more important players" could say without even a warning makes my change my mind again. I find it fascinating that I have never been warned, muted, banned or anything like that in any of the other sim games that I play and there are quite a few.
There are many options out there and more coming in the near future such as: Combat pilot, Aces of thunder, Korea Il-2, Cliffs of Dover Blitz (adding VR support) You would think it would be important to keep the few that are still left here.

I know you are well aware that all these subjects existed since AW AOL days. Ya see it somewhere on every game forum. Even the same Mod accusations. None of it is new, probably none of it will go away. Its the gaming world.
Some people look for reasons to not come back. If you never read the bbs you wouldn’t notice these things exist
And yes, we have repeat barkers, like every game.
I don’t understand why most your post contain why you’re not coming back, you’ll just move the goal post.
Maybe some ideas with pounding fist just aren’t great ideas. Some require too much coding.

I guess I live in a different "gaming world" because I never have had any mod interactions in any of the other games I've played online starting with AWdos but here I had them to the point of running me out. I guess I didn't understand how "some people" could go on profanity laced rants and I got a warning for using the word p*ssed.
I guess I'm weird in that I look for reasons to come back lol. I think you would know they exist if you you got on a mods sheet list and got warned for saying stuff others say without any repercussions.
Yes, but some barkers paid attention to without regard to to the the affects on the rest of the pack.
You must not read many of my posts if you think most of them contain "why I'm not coming back". I think you're right about moving goalposts. It seems the longer I'm away and the more flavors of other ice cream I try the less I miss the original flavor. There are still a few guys around that I miss hanging out with but at this point it looks like there may be more of the ones I'd rather not hang out with left.
Not sure what you're talking about with the pounding fist thing. The only thing I can think of was that years ago when the kill spam got implemented many asked for a dot command or a checkbox setting to /dev/null it. My opinion is that it never got implemented was because none of the "right people" ever asked for it.
I'm not sure how banning anyone for 8 days for using the .report command has a positive effect on anything. Do you think anybody will risk using the .report feature and risk getting an 8 day ban?
-

Yes I do think several folks regularly abuse it because the game is relatively unpoliced outside the in and outs of a mod or Dale when he logs in as a squirrel :old:

Apparently if you reported him in game you got banned, which is very counter productive for reporting toxic players.

As a reminder here's Skuzzy's post. I would suggest many of these same rules apply to 200 and Country channels;
By posting anywhere on this bulletin board, it is assumed all users have read and understand the following posting rules.
1- Posts are to be made in the relevant forum. Users are asked to read the forum descriptions before posting.
2- Threads should remain on topic, do not "hijack" topics.
3- Do not open a new thread that duplicates a current topic.
4- Flame baiting, flaming, being abusive, being disrespectful, trolling, spamming or posting to incite or annoy is not allowed. If you cannot make a positive contribution to the thread, then just stay out of it.
5- Members are asked to not act as "back seat moderators". If you feel a post violates the forum rules, the use the "Report to Moderator" link in the post to report it.
6- Posting pornographic or generally offensive text, images, links, etc. will not be tolerated. This includes attempts to bypass the profanity filter.
7- Cheating allegations or descriptions are not allowed. Email support@hitechcreations.com to report any issues regarding this. HTC permanently bans anyone caught cheating in Aces High. We take cheating and allegations of cheating very seriously.
8- Complaints about a player's behavior online should be emailed to support@hitechcreations.com rather than posted to this board.
9- Users are permitted to upload one of their own avatars. Avatars must be in good taste and consistent with the other rules of this board.
10- Do not punt topics. Punting would be making a non-substantive post for the express purpose of bring the thread to the top of the thread list.
11- Members should post in a way which is consistent with "normal writing". That is users should not post excessive numbers of emoticons, large, small or colored text, etc. Similarly users should not SHOUT or use excessive punctuation (e.g. ! and ?) in topic titles or posts.
12- All posts, in public forums, should be made in the English language.
13- Threads started devoid of commentary will not be allowed (i.e. links, cut-n-pastes, clicky, read this...)
14- Posting topics or threads which are based on politics, race, or religion is expressly forbidden.
Posts and threads may be edited, deleted, or locked for violations of these rules. Continued or blatant violation of these rules may result in a temporary or permanent ban.
If you see a post which may violate the above rules, please make use of the "Report to moderator" link provided in the post in question. You may also provide your reasoning on how it violates the above rules.

Everyone has biases. Those who think or act like they don't are amusing.

Okay, I had to think about that one a bit.

"fellers" sounds familiar AK. :D
hehe, i think its a squad based term at this point. but per the topic, ive found the squelch script can work with both VOX and chat. sometimes its just not worth the trouble to even spend the effort to type .squelch.
like a good friend of mine said, "Arguing with those people is like playing chess with a pigeon. It's just going to knock over the pieces, sh*t on the board, and then strut around like it won anyway."

:rofl :rofl :rofl AKprizzle I love it!!!

Rotting goat heads and candles conspiracies are the most entertaining.
"Everyone is against me"
"They are conspiring against us"
"RUN!! RUN AWAY!!, RUN AWAY FAST!!"
<snork!> just stirring a pot that isn't there.

Apparently in my response to gldnbb's continued harrasment I probably called him an idiot and got myself banned for 7.6 days (what an odd number)...
It is quite alarming considering the crap he spews every single day to the whole team.
Cancelled the auto-sub but who am I kidding, i'll probably be back.
So are you back in ma yet?

I have an idea: A middle ground between squelch and report. Make the squelch and on/off option, for example if you choose the squelch someone they STAY squelched until you choose (if you ever do) to unsquelch them. Thus if you log on 4ish times a day you don't have to keep squelching every time you come in the game.
There are two people that would be permasquelched if this option were available. One Rook and One Bish.
Ignoring them really isn't an option when your green screen is a constant bombardment of:
:COME ON GUYS! WHY NO HELP
:AFTERNOON BISH SUCK
:YOU GUYS ARENT PLAYING WITH STRATEGY DWEEBS
:WE GOTTA DO...
:WE GOTTA ATTACK...
:YOURE ALL MORONS!!!
Like Calm down Temu Rommel.
I believe this would be a "problem solves itself" scenario, people will start acting right when they type/chat green, purple or 200 and all they get is *crickets* chirpity chirp chirp
