Has started to become a problem in the MA IMO. 28Sweeps single letter chest thumping combined with the GRIN-INININ-INININ crap from members of the OL*** is all getting rather old and is taking the enjoyment out of monitoring Ch.1.
IMO, it's time for HTC to either give us a perminate squelch list OR come out and define their policy regarding spamming Ch.1 and have their undercover game ops enforce such policy.
Squelching Ch. 1 is NOT the answer BTW, why restrict the friendly banter between countries because of a few AW RR macro dweebs?
-
Yup...some of that crap on CH1 gets really tiresome. Seems to have really kicked in once AW went tits up but I figure "who the hell am I to complain"...
Anyhoo...agree with ya.
-
I'll find myself squelching 1 because of irrelavent ranting. I'll salute Rude and Ripsnort, they'll always salute me back (good sticks) and squelch it eventually. I hate doing it, but the whining gets old.

I agree MrLars...the friendly banter between countries is what I've found different from other games. I like the abilty to
someone who has superior skills and has just schooled me.

AW RR macro dweebs,,,,HAHAHA, you got the right, i've heard people ask how to set a macro, of course some use the squad name to make a kill macro but you only see it when they land 2 or more kills
-
I like to keep ch. 1 active to
opponents, and general good natured bantering with the "enema"...but sometimes its out of control...so if I don't you back, then you know I have it squelched. ;)

With the exception of a few cons (those would be Knight and Bish). You know when you're in deep, and regardless of the outcome you salute the con. BUT, when I get snubbed, I get pissed and usually type a one finger salute of sorts. People may think it is petty to get angry at something like this, but I don't. I ALWAYS
back and go into a little detail about what just transpired. I've done this with several sticks, Ripsnort, Sachs (I was the 109 you were scissoring WIDE on to try and stay behind me. I was inverted, staying aloft at 60 knots, you finally got me), Snorkel ,I was being a smart bellybutton with you kinda were pissed at me (don't worry), the following day, boom, patched up) and many others.
When I sign on it is the following routine, Squad , Country and then a "Con " out of sheer respect.
I just despise people thinking their toejam don't stink.

First thing I do when I log on.

Taunting in a good natured manner is one thing, but lately I've been seeing more and more pretty harsh stuff.
I squelch whoever is spouting the offensive stuff, that way I can still everyone who shoots me down.
If it is several people mouthing at one another, first I squelch each individual person. If that don't work, then I squelch the whole channel.

bastage was bogging down the text buffer with all his crap.
i squelched himafter about 5 min of that but still saw the text lag most of the night. i heard a few others mention he was still doing it after about 30 min of people b@#$% at him. something needs to be done about that IMHO.

Bantering too often evolves into down right rudeness. Especially when you try to banter someone you don't know very well. Why do some of you do it? Well, because that's your style. Then, if the recipient gets offended, instead of just passing a kind
and going about your business. Some of yous bantering types start getting down right mouthy. Perhaps because you don't understand why everyone doesn't think and act the same as you. Why bother? It creates an opportunity to cause an argument. Which creates a negative environment for everyone.
-
I squelch ch 1 99% of the time also. Too bad some of the pre-adolescent players ruin it for everyone else.

I try and salute those who deserve it....if I don't, it's because I'm up to my neck in folks who wish me harm:)
Overall, channel 1 is not that bad imo...just as in all other aspects of life, a few tend to taint things towards the negative.
I wish I had the button powers, there would be total harmony.
:D

I'm such a nice guy eh?

perk chan 1 - 50 characters per point :D
-
There ain't one.
Would be nice if they perked chest-thumping,.... impossible to implement. What REALLY gets annoying is the fact that squelch does not work for films. The chest-thumping gets recorded anyway.:rolleyes:
Blankets and baseball bats still work. :D

They have no effect in the virtual world...peer pressure on the other hand....
How's 'bout EVERYBODY make up their own silly lil' macro and start using it often in the MA? Then just MAYBE something will happen to quell that kind of crap in the text buffer:rolleyes:
It's getting serious, I had to reprogram my "squelch Dago" button to accomodate 28Sweep, I don't have enough buttons to squelch the entire OL*** squad though :mad:

Perhaps it would be useful for the host, after some tripwire number of players all squelch the same person, to just not pass on that player's radio messages...
You'd want to make the number high enough that you'd need more than the members of a single squadron to silence someone. Say, a limit of 50. If 50 people in the same country all squelch a player, that player's radio traffic on the country channel isn't passed on by the host, and if 50 people in any country squelch a player, that player's radio traffic on channel 1 isn't passed on by the host.

Yea, Ive noticed the signal to noise ratio has been getting a little hard to handle. I do strongly agree we need to 28sweep (friendian slip)channel 1 of all such nonsence, and make channel 7 (or whatever) the official bozo channel for pre-pubecebt ramblings....then I can squelch 7 and still give my enemy an occasional
