Title: Text repression
Post by: Steve on October 10, 2002, 07:41:16 PM
I tried to type "We are better off against numbers, more targets!"
in text buffer today... got an auto vulgarity warning.. thought I had mistyped something... got it again!  Ok,... I retyped it very carefully so I knew I wasn't mistyping anything... got muted for 10 minutes.

Cmon, this is insane.

Steve, the same thing happened to me. A guy was giving me his e-mail addy and I typed in "just a sec, my pen is in the other room." Boom- instant mute.

What's the big deal? So the filter isn't perfect. You didnt do anything wrong, you are not being punished. Its just that the filter isnt perfect.  ten minute break, good time to concentrate on your SA.

Ironic you can still SAY anything you want - and that isn't even squelchable for the kids in the same room.

All joking aside this IS a major problem in this game. HT you have staff worried about seeing a partially (or totally) undressed human body in the BBS but it's anything goes in ranges vox. All kinds of trash and foul language you cannot stop except one voice at a time. For those of us who do have kids we need a general squelch on range vox!

I've been hearing less and less of this kind of stuff on range channel lately. I think that either peer pressure must be working or I'm just not flying in range of these goofs.
