...if people like gunman26 either change their attitudes or loose there radio privledges for extended periods of time or like nath are baned from AH for some time. I don't know what the story was with nath but gunman26 is a constant problem. Every day he gets in Ah he curses at people and calls them names as well as make acusations and threats and all around bring the atmosphere down. He says he is "questioning the authority" of those who say you can't do this and when asked why he says "b/c i know who much it infuriates you people." It has been explained to him that the reason for rules agains this behavior is
1) to make AH a place where people can fly and have fun without reading crap like that and as general respect for otheres
and...
2)because of the fact that when new members read this stuff all the time and all the negitive things he has to say about the game and people in the game it reflects badly on AH and can drive sim'ers away.
He still continues to imply HTC and the AH community are full of "holier than thou" people that "analize everything you do" and that he will "say what I want to and there is nothing that anyone can do, so squelch me if you don't like it."
Half of the new members can't even change there radio chanels for the first couple days till they ask about it or are told how to so they don't give out info to the enemy... so how are they to know the .squelch 1 comand. this leaves them stuck seeing it till they leave
I know I haven't always been the most plesent person in the game but i try to be and often apologize if i get out of line.
I have also seen numorous otheres get frustrated and mouth off a little. this is to be expected in competitive environments, but gunman26 in his own words says he does it to piss otheres off.
most of the time he doesn't even have a reason for his attitude othere than to make otheres mad and that is not being competitive that is being a looser and someone that the AH community DOES NOT NEED!!!!!!!
nor does HT's business
BTW if you don't realize it this is Beowulff
i changed my name cuase i realized i needed an attitude check and wanted to start off fresh...left my squad so as to not give them bad name and lost almost 2k in perkies cuase i relized that my attitude was not right for AH or my squad. I try to keep my attitude in check and apologize for ocassional lapses anytime i may have made them
it is just a game...
but it is HTC's livelyhood it is there investment and needs to be treated with respect.
<S> all and <S> HTC gang

Nice post Beowulff.
I know the guy you're talking about, and have been disturbed by him myself. i haven't showed the restraint that I should in dealing with him, and have found myself saying more than I should to him. The guy is a plain nuisance fer sure. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

now there's an understatement!! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) big <S> for admitting it though - that takes much more balls than the act - couldn't agree more with you about this gunman26 character as well - constant source of irritation

I sent Pyro an email with 5 or 6 cut outs screenshots of the textbuffer. Did it yesterday after being fed up with this chap, who's been warned so many times, been talked to in a friendly manner, been shouted at, been instructed, been asked politely, you name it.
Nothing has worked, so I figued it was time for an email.

I've squelched the guy. He always has some sort of commentary as to why you shot him down....or, like others, insist YOUR connection bad (as if SKILL wasnt involved in the shoot down!).
Thought we had moderators in the Main Arena...couple weeks ago, they were getting blasted for shutting people up....now a few weeks later they arent doing so?
I just wish the squelch list would stay on everytime I logged in. In only takes a few of this guy's rants to remind me to go on and squelch him again. And frankly, its a real pain in the ass. Sure I could squelch the entire channel 1 deal, but I like giving my adversaries a if they blow my Lanc outta the sky (or playful jests, right ElGuapo? I have to give you directions so that G10 of yours can find me and I can continue your skydiving lessons (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif) )

I have also had a run in with gunmans insulting comments.I would agree some sort of warning is in order, who wants to read this sort of crap while playing?.

I was logged on last night & the guy was calling all sorts of people names & being very disruptive. It is nice when something is done with people that are constantly like that.

<Just a humorous sidenote...the is no defending those that are disruptive and insulting...and this covers off-mappers too!!>

LMAO "Survivor" LMFAO

Hello rudedawg- I think having a little introspection and admitting that anger gets to you at times is a positive thing. Gets to me at times too but I usually cuss out the monitor or my godzilla model standing on top of my puter. I would also like to see HTC take a hard line on the disrupter types. Ban em for a few days-maybe they will grow up, maybe not but they should not be allowed to mess up game play for everybody.

darn it where did I put all those torches and pitch forks, can't have a good witch hunt with em (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

sigh

HTC will not hesitate to spank the unruly ones
-
don't get me wrong i think frustration is bound to be there and a little competetitiveness is a must in any type of community but bad apples need to be delt with.
just a month and a half ago we could have been discussing me right now but i relized it when i read the stuff i was saying and made a concius effort to not let my competetive nature get the beter of me.
the thing is is gunman is not competitive just diruptive and vulger. this could be delt with without banning him from AH. Instead if HT would take away his radio privledges for a month or so we might get some rest

The odd thing is, from what I've seen anyway, he's a pretty decent guy on the country channel (bish).
The open channel is definitely a different story, tho'. But no need for a witch hunt here...send your screenshots to HTC and let his own words speak for him.
SOB
-
this ain't a witch hunt SOB you are mistaken this is us trying to get attention drawn to a problem in AH right now we have tried to be fair with him but hell nath got band for less
majority of us are sick of it and we should as a collective have a say-so

Cut off his gawdamned head. Im tired of smack talkers. I can take toejam with the best of them but the incessant crap is boring and worse, detrimental.
Let everyone know there is a standard.

Wow....
Is it me? Or does this thing strike ya as a bit silly?
Rudedawg....
RUDEDAWG fer chrissakes... of alla people... Is going after a guy fer blatherin' on channel one. I seen some weird toejam but this...
Now I haven't been payin' attention to this gunner guy... By the sounds of it, a real piece of work...
But Rudedawg of all people as the one comin' on this BBS to call him out just takes the cake. Absolutely.
Whassa matter Rudedawg? Is he crowding yer space? Hard to get a word in edgewise nowadays?
Funny stuff...
-
'...if people like gunman26 either change their attitudes or loose there radio privledges for extended periods of time or like nath are baned from AH for some time.'
I can't see how it would damage HT's business if gunman26 would start to behave all of the sudden or lose their priviledges.. What's this about?
-
It's your dime Rudedawg...I just think you'd have better luck sending the proof in to HTC. I doubt any opposition here is going to change Gunman26's mind about the way he acts, since the same opposition in the arena obviously hasn't.
SOB
-
nash if you were smart enough to read all of what i said you would see that i realized my attitude was a problem thus the tag change and leaving my squad.
i have been making an effort to not squeak and mone all the time on the open channel and if you have been paying attention
(which you obviously were befor you would see that). but frankly my attitude was no where near as bad as Gunman26's is and furthermore mine was mostly out of frustration and being competitive.
Gunman26 has repeatedly said he does it just to piss people off.
And SOB StSanta sent HT an email bout this and i was hoping HT would see this and get a sense of the sittuation based on comunity opinion not from just me or stsanta
Beowulff

I do it to piss off certain individuals..not the community as a whole...thanks for giving me the oppurtunity to defend my actions..oh wait i didnt get that chance..oh well
-
Thats because your actions are indefensible SethK. For the most part, everybody in the arena is able to conduct themselves in a civilized manner and are able to get along....except those damn ASSassins. (j/k hblair and co. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif))
But you, on the other hand, are just impossible. If you wanna start some PC, power to the people, fight the oppression, grass-roots revolution....go somewhere else to do it. I was actually beginning to think that AH was making a turn for the better and the attitude in the MA was improving and then you come along and start dragging it back down into the cesspool.
Oh well....I guess the other option is for the entire arena to squelch you. Then you can spend all nite squeaking to yourself.
-
Well kudos Rudedawg fer attempting to clean up yer admittedly sour act. For the sake of everyone in the MA who had to put up with 'RudeDawg', I wish you great success with it. Man... did you ever piss me off sometimes though. Was perty much yer mission to make everyone's experience bitter... So excuse me if I find *you* comin' here to call out someone else's actions kinda hypocritical.
But Ok... you've changed yer handle... turned over a new leaf. Thank God you've decided to grow up. I sincerely hope you stick with it.

Aaahhhhhh Beowulf = Rudedawg, that explains who this "newbie" getting streaks of 4 or more all the time (on my ar*e!) (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
Gunman26 is "PUTERMAN", he is now part of my squelchlist too (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

well if i pissed you off i am sorry nash, but don't call me a hypicrit scince you don't know a thing about me. first of all i was asked to start this thread by 2 people and second it was never my intention to make "everyones experience bitter" as you say. I have apoligized to everyone numorouse times, but you seem to be the only one who can't let by-gones be. Furthermore if gunman26 would just change his attitude towards everyone and his language we would all let this drop. i know i would.
but hey none of us are perfect right NASH (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/eek.gif)
