...are two very good reasons for a perma squelch.
Please HT, a perma squelch would make the VAST majority of players happy.
-
i never type anything on my computer that i would not say in mixed company or face to face, this limits my vocabulary somewhat.
-
hey now there's a great new idea... a permanent squelch list who woulda thunk...

When at the convention, Daddog would let me use his computer and account and walk away to find something to do while I flew in the MA under his nickname. Once after killing a foe or two, Sunking who was next to me told me I should talk trash to those I killed "learn how to fly, dweeb!" That had me cracking up and I think is very funny because Daddog is most probably the nicest guy you can meet and would never do anything of that sort.
I have noticed a few names seem to think Channel 1 is a chat room.

I've been updating my signature since about version 1.07 I think...

If we get the bunch of new players that targeted ads bring in, the Ch 1 baloney is going to run off the more mature ones in short order. I suspect the way targeted ads work, we'll be getting a group that's not too interested in the smack talk.
Sooner or later we're going to have to find a way to use a little peer pressure on CH1.
Just my .02

Good point. :(

Personally the smack talk and friendly banter doesnt bother me too much. There are however many times when it gets out of hand and either one or the other just wont shut up about it.
I have noticed a little stronger HTC presence in the arenas lately. Maybe that is the trend now. I sure hate to see it cause I know there are other way more productive ways for them to spend their time other than monitoring the arena and handing out discipline.
I agree with Toad....maybe its time for a little more peer pressure on the heavy offenders.

I'm all for taking away Channel1, 2, 3, and just keep Squad channel. After all, it's the only place where you can discuss porn safely... ;)
-
I just squelch Channel 1 right off. Helps improve my SA :)
-
Channel 1?
I've not heard anything from that bit of offal in MONTHS. /.squelch 1 is automatic on login. I used to /.squelch 6, but the new kill messages make it significantly less obnoxious.
I'm there to fly, have fun, and decompress from the real world, not listen to a DSW carried on by a bunch of 13yoms. At one point I had my squelch list peggeded when some twits decided to hash out the Middle East conflict on the country channel. For some reason HTC won't let you sq the country channel.
My only gripe? The maximum number of players in the squelch list needs to be upped some days.

I've always talked smack and it isn't being cocky it is out of sense of humor. Thanks Lars, I'll squelch whiners :rolleyes:

Some people don't want to hear it and would rather have the option of never hearing it from....ummm...people that think it's funny:cool:
-
Why can't all of us be cool like you?! :(
Furthermore, If I ever shoot you down, I'll toss some Kleenex out of my canopy for the ride down.
Cussing is a different story however on the open channels.

Like I said I squelch whiners anyway

Sounds like you need a few more years under your belt before you get there.

Hey! He's got a joke! How do you do it? What's up?

A smack talker is just the 180 of a whiner, usually trying to elicit a whine. They are really no different, just different agendas. I'll squelch a smack talker as fast I will squech a whiner.
There should be more salutes on CH 1 than all the other alternatives.
-
Of course you guys ARE ALWAYS RIGHT!!!!!!!!! You fly LA-7's and grumble when shot down by the former, THEY are the dweeb. I see how it is :rolleyes:
Enjoy. keep whining. I would love to see you play sports, BUT I bet that's different huh? Did you run off when a little trash talk commenced?

Agreed, but this is AH we talking about :) Sadly, if I ever forget to squelch 1 on logging in, I am quickly reminded to do so within a few minutes.

Amen Turbot, me too.

Played many sports in my younger day and still participate in a few. I love to play against smack talkers ... just makes me play that much harder. And in the end, when they lose, they always they turn out to be the biggest whiners of them all. They got a million excuses why ...
If your good, then let your actions do the smack talkin' ... or are smack talker just afraid that no one will notice ?
Never seen Mathman talk smack ... never seen DmdDano talk smack ... never seen iceMAW talk smack ... never seen Lephturn talk smack ... there are many more. Their skills and kill messages do the talking.

Me too, and I'll rib them a sentence or two and

Cussing on OPEN CHANNELS is another story.

Ahhh ... the key is the

You are NOT a smack talker ... just an bellybutton buster ... now we're talking. That I can relate to.

I misunderstood you Slap, I'll bust yer bellybutton when I shoot you down :D
I would ONLY expect the same when the opposite happens. :D
Honest, I rarely do it and when I do the ALWAYS, ALWAYS comes out.
Slap, see ya up there!
I usually make it a point to single out the cocky "stick". I've been playing for just over 5 months. This ding-dong, went beyond "ass-busting" and was an "ass" instead. Figured out where he was upping from. He upped a F4U-4. I upped a Jug, stayed on the deck, the love muffin was putting on a show for me, inverted IN FRONT OF ME, and I shredded the perkie to bits, until combustion. Did the to him, his response? Just guessing, tail between his legs and no response.

Guys, I see it this way...
Smack talk, for some is a part of the game and they enjoy it. That's cool and they have every right to do so.
OTOH, I prefer not to watch nor listen to most forms of smack talk, that's my right also.
What I'm asking for is a way to squelch the smack talkers out of my text buffer w/o having to type their names from a growing list each and every time I log on....that is all.
The pottymouths are just another good reason to have the perma squelch option...but I agree that peer pressure needs to be used to change the mindset of the offenders.
-
Sorry Lars ... got a little off track.
Excellent idea ... I don't like to completely squelch CH 1 and for the reasons you describe and being too lazy I don't usually squelch those that need to be squelched each time I log in.
This idea could be expanded to allow any dot command to be entered into a text files like ...
"login_MA.cfg, login_OFF.cfg and login_CT.cfg"
and parsed and executed at login. Kinda like the "autoexe.bat" concept. This would give it a broader scope.

NP, when people have a passion for a hobby or game it's easy to get sidetracked.

Someone else made a good suggestion in another thread, include a friends list so that you can be notified when one of your buds logs on. This would be good for dweeb hunts as well as some friendly duels in the MA.

I've never once seen anything on Ch.1 that makes up for all the blather and nonsense that consistently hogs the text buffer.
Before I even look at the map on login, the first thing I type is /.squelch 1.
11 Keystrokes to a blissful gaming experience.
I've had squadmates tell me, "Muck, XXX is talking smack about you on channel 1"
My response? I've got nothing to say to them, nor do I care to listen.
So if I bag you, or you get me, don't waste your time typing.
I'm NEVER listening.
