Monitors

[Sandman_SBM]

Here's a thought. Rather than have anonymous monitors appointed by the "state", why not elect them?

It works for the Sheriff's Department.

 I do not blame HTC at all for what they chose to do or what the person who used the mute did.

 The MA is bad enough with some of the two week trial blithering idiots spouting off.

..I completely agree.  It's the approach I'm concerned with.  The grey area is just plain wierd.  And the buisness issue goes both ways really.  Perhaps the moderator in this situation jumped the gun,....then maybe not.  Until we have clear cut guidance, who know's what will get you muted?  I've seen way worse than "dick", and I've seen terrible verbal lashing(s) that didn't even include "foul" language.  I've heard of one instance of the mute being applied,...for "Dick"???  

Just a point to ponder

Maybe monitors should warn an offender that the text is being logged and will be sent to the HTC staff if the crap continues. HTC can email a warning to the problem child. If they don't tone down the retoric they get suspended or worse.

The simple answer to all of this is that there isn't a simple solution (other then our monitoring our own behaviour). I'm with Eagler, I thought this was about video monitors as well..lol. Well, I don't have anything to worry about. Chances are, if something does happen between myself and a monitor:

a) I probably deserved it.
b) I record about every flight I make, so at the very least there is evidence of any behaviour or abusiveness one way or the other, so paranoia isn't required. My guess is, the monitors record as well.

Kudos to HTC for addressing the 'quality' of their game. How could they not, as good business men and women, try to make AH the best environment (As they see it) for their customers?

Now THAT is a good idea.

A friendly little reminder that when people come to play games like this, some choose to directly reflect they're personality, while other choose to role play. For this reason, direct interpretation of someone's actions in a medium such as this is nothing more then a knee jerk reaction, as one cannot determine which of side of the line the person resides on.

We seem to lose sight of this sometimes.

Have a nice day.

 

Btw I'm a pompus jerk, ask anyone whos ever caught me not playing me role!
