There's a squad that is starting to use a macro somethin like "INININ GRINNN" or some such nonsense. In the AW RR arenas this was acceptable, but here in AH there's no place for it especially on CH1, IMO. I don't think the majority of subscribers would like to see the text buffer filled with kill/INININ macros now, do we?
So, get rid of the macro please!

Maybe stupid question but what is macro? :confused:
-
Macro is a pre-made sentence that you can "type" by pressing one button.
Think of it as if you had typed : "DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE" in a word processor, had highlighted it and used COPY command..
and then used cntr-V (paste) to make a whole page of DIE DIE DIE's in less than a second.
In short, MACRO's are SPAM.

A pre-programed text line used to thump your chest...if you're insecure and have a self image problem and need to let everybody in the arena know so then by all meens...use one :D

Thank you!
I think our people in rooks are using one like this:
"check 6 mipoikel" And there is also a voice included!:D
Weird that it has also some coincidents with my dying. Allways after those macros I usually die!
;) ;) ;) ;)

I agree with MrLars on this one, we dont need text buffer spam.

HTC could also limit this by adding xxxx shot down to the system messages.
dweeb: ININ GRINNN
dweeb shot down
would be mildly amusing.

Another Squelch to the list.....

LOL Mipo!!! Actually laughed at that one.. check 6 macro... must be really late.. anyway - was waiting for this topic to rear its ugly head. :P Macros were the trademark of AW but dont belong here... the "individuals" who "smile" alot and "replaze good old-fash'n english zpelling wit der own version" of the language dont bother me personally but as soon as we start seeing an abundance of kill macros something should be done. Despite the fact that macros were usually lot of fun and a creative way to say "F you" after killing someone, most of the population in here would probably have a problem with that. Half the fediddleing arena already squelches channel 1 so the emergence of macros would probably make conversation in the chat buffer a rarity. :P

LOL, macros are fun, but not here - god bless AW. :P

Well, since this is not popular, they may have other things up their sleeve, such as:
Macro Macro Spam Macro,
Spam Macro Spam Spam,
Spam Spam Spam Spam Macro Spam,
"Eeeek" sound Spam Spam Macro Spam Spam
or if you'd like something with less spam in it:
"Eeeek" sound Macro Macro Spam Spam Macro Spam

people who use macros don't read the BBS much less this thread... I am not sure that they read at all.

Sorry, I thought you were my ex.
The two macros I thought were the best that I heard from AW while patrolling as a Game Assistant.
Yea, lets keep the macros away from here.

The best macro is the squad name. those with permissions can change it every sortie. :D
I remember that squad that used to have Tom Brokaw in its name.. was hilarious. What happened to the fun guys? Bring it back!
-
Happen to know exactly who you're talking about and they automatically get squelched upon arena entry. Perhaps this would be a good time to bring up the permasquelch request again.
They annoyed me in AW, and they annoy me here.

I personally get a kick out of the guy(s) with the squad name "all the lame ways to die"....he/they dont get many kills, so it almost always catches me off guard when I see:
VICTORY 1 by Player, of all the lame ways to die

even though fscott was a tard he always had a hilarious squad name

Funny you should mention that, as I know who Lars is talking about, and they definitely seem, er, literacy-challenged.

I find it very annoying also. Is this perm. squelch list something that is in the works?
-
As far as I can tell their sole purpose is to annoy and irritate. They're like that bratty neighbor kid who throws rocks at passing cars. But, since they opperate within the rules of community (well, they would if we actually had any lol) ie, they don't cuss, or threaten with violence ect, the best bet is to just ignore them, it robs them of all their power.

What Sikboy said.
Essentially there's no rules prohibiting anyone from being and sounding like a 'retard' online.
