Title: Why was I muted...
Post by: rshubert on September 13, 2003, 11:06:50 AM
During Squad Ops last night?  During our climb out from a13, I spoke up on range channel to remind people about the scenario frame on Saturday.  Next thing I knew, I got muted for 60 minutes with no warning.

Could someone please explain that?

Well I didn't mute you. I don't think APdrone did either.  But I will say something funky was going on last night.

[list=1]
  • First off a fleet that I moved out of the battle area was moved back to off the coast of france. Both APdrone and I knew that fleet was moved. No idea how it got back.
  • Somebody cursed a blue streak on all channel without substituting characters so that the filter would not catch them. I think I might have had the bad word filter off. But what was interesting was that usually you see:


GhstDncr: Hi guys .. I am cursing now

Instead we all saw the text of the message but the handle was missing .. just several spaces and : and somebody saying cool aftewards.
[/list]

You didn't curse at all did you Shubie .. if the bad word filter was turned backed on it would mute you. Otherwise I am at a loss. Unless you were the victim of some other factor.

No, not even a "shucks" or a "doggone it".

That is strange...Have we been hacked at the CM level?

Shubie, were you filming by any chance?  Just wondering who else was on Range channel with you if it was a reaction to you advertising the scenario.   Email me (hcm@flossy.co.uk) a screenshot of the Range list if you have one.  Thanks.

Flossy. If someone is useing CM powers that should not be check with skuzzy. I am sure their logs can tell who is doing what.  Just tell him when and where and he can look it up.

No, sorry.  I wasn't filming at the time.  And I was on range VOX, not typing.

oh man, I feel like such a handsomehunk.

Shubie, I'm sorry man, I just looked at my film, and I muted you. I meant to squelch you, because I couldn't hear my squad on our squad channel, but I accidentally muted you.

.squelch = good
.mute = bad

I'm truly sorry about that, I didn't mean anything buy it.

Thanks, Sikboy..... at least we know how it happened now.  Seems like it was a genuine mistake, Shubie.  Thank goodness!  Hope it didn't spoil your enjoyment too much.

Yeah, the chatter on the range channel is getting pretty ridiculous, especially right after takeoff.
