Would that happen to be the pink text? The CMs use that now to announce events to all the arenas from the SEA. I don't believe you can squelch those unless you're in the SEA with the person transmitting.

It was introduced around the same time as the new terrain...a bit after, I think. CMs will announce their event about half an hour before it starts, generally.

you mean some will ........

others will announce about every 15 minutes up to 3 hours prior sending 5-6 lines each announcement

I guess that could get bothersome or distracting for some.......

as for me I tend to pay more attention to what Im doing rather than sit around reading the text buffer  :rolleyes:

I've only seen it come across twice, but that could be that I currently don't have an account. :D

Wow bashing the CMs your awesome. CMs make the events so fun and enjoyable for the majority who fly them. They are only to be saluted not bashed :salute

I dont think anyones bashing the CMs........ they arent doing anything now that they havent always done.........

the only difference is in the past they would have to go to every arena individually and announce it on 200...... now they can announce it to every arena simultaneously to every player regardless of tuning 200 or not

so I guess some people arent accustomed to seeing the announcements made all the time if they never tuned 200...........

or maybe its that horrible pink color

If it had just been a couple of times it would have been no problem  but this was regular all thru the night, even going on about practise. Now thats great for you guys that enjoy those things but I'm sure just a couple of reminders would have been enough.

Making it toggle-able by token file/dot command would be even nicer, like the .showjoin # command.

I've never seen them announce it 50 times. Once or twice about about 30min before the event is the most i've ever seen. They're just trying to encourage the event, thats all. nothing to lose sleep over!

its no worse then people recruiting on 200, I just ignore it because I'm too busy either dying or killing someone!  :D
