I assume HT & Co. can pull text logs from that moment in time and make the final decision--I was under the impression that the 'report' thing just gave them a time/date flag to hunt for?

Thats what i thought bj229...but it turns out that if enough people chat report you around the same time, there is some automatic feature to it...hence the ability to abuse it....

But lets say a group of pilots did it to me...then the next day i would call HTC and ask them to review the issue..if i was wronged then they would reinstate my privileges...and my understanding is that the "wrath" of hitech would come down on those who "falsely" reported me...:t

Exactly.   My favorite is those that DO report other's, are usually MORE VULGAR, and do a damn good job of deflecting attention off of themselves.

It just happened to me, and they were even "gloating".   What made it funnier is that 1/2 of them logged off right after.    Nothing like reporting an "unjust person" and then "acting even worse than the person you reported."  

Only people I report are the racists, bigots, and foul mouthed tards (one or two words, I can live with, but some folks cuss excessively).    Anything else, is trying to "inject a holier than thou" or "pretentious" attitude.    I hear more cussing on vox, than text, and just laugh at this fact.    

Also, I've explained in DETAIL to folks what happened, and they are now aware, and laughing just as much as myself because it was petty.    But then again, I'm not a petty person, so I just laugh it off.

I still keep on wondering why there is a thing like chan 200 :rolleyes:

I hardly ever tune it, talking with country mates is quite enough. Doing some occasional private chat with a polite enemy also works fine.

What is the chan 200 good for? Anything that could not be done here at the bbs after the fight?

... just wondering :)

By reading the replies i guess that people have been reporting you to get you muted?

I had a case where a certain little squeaker squad (i wont mention names) kept abusing it to get me muted after i killed them.

I reported it to HTC and i know that they take it very seriously.  It may be a coincidence but i never saw the main culprit online again under that handle.

After finding out how TB got bounced,I'm even more aggravated.If we must have a channel 200,at least have the moderators be more consistent.I'm going to log on for my friendly Sunday night flight,and I can guarantee you if I tune to 200...I usually don't..that I will be greeted by the same old cesspool of of ego damaged twits using their sewers to bash someone that just dispatched them.Politics,religion,sex,drugs and on and on it goes,nothing is safe from the dregs that make 200 the channel of foul,obscene,insult laden tripe,with a few thrown in by the more amiable players.

We take this very seriously.


If the system got TB "sanctioned" then I can tell you with 99.98% certainty its being abused. I cant EVER recall TB initiating or even responding in a manner that would warrant any type of "moderation". I cant even recall a "whine" much less a tirade. I'd love to hear from anyone who was on at the time...I recognize we all have our moments so I'll hold that %.02 out....but he's one of the few whos got the skillz without the mouth:aok

TB,

The first month away is the hardest.  However, the uncontrollable shakes do subside after about week 2.  Be wary of 'Dogfights' on the History channel as it causes flashbacks.   :D
