This may have already been asked for or addressed in the past, but wouldn't the ability to save a "squelched list" be helpful we the paying customers? I know some think I'm an idiot and I do not want to offend them or force them to take the time to squelch me each time they log-in and I certainly am sick of constantly typing in the same names everytime I log-in. With as much garbage that is typed on 200, I find it funny that the only sensitive topic is political. I mean isn't it politics that caused each country to develop the planes, aircraft carriers, and ground vehicles we choose to play cartoon pilots in?
Any time you gather a large group of people in one place or community (channel 200), it is a social network - like it or not. So relevant issues, OUTSIDE of the game, are common topics people naturally want to discuss. Recent channel 200 discussions included, "I can't find work," "Did you hear about the plane crash today?" "Your education lacks," "Come to Dayton!" "Are you retarded?" "You're an A**," "You must live in a trailer," and my favorite, "squelch me if you don't like it!" Everytime I log-in, really?. As everyone is aware, the list of non game related 200 "social networking" discussion topics is massive! Why force the customer to feel the way you want or pretend to know what I/we need to be exposed to? Why not give all a very simple modification to the tool already in game customize or filter what they wish their kids or themselves to be exposed to? I just don't get the "We must fix our paying customers" attitude and mute their thoughts on such an important issue. It seeps out from this company and several of the people who participate in this forum and game. Hell, some of the most vocal in here do not even have active accounts in game. While I do not find political discussion offensive, I do find some of the discussions on 200 offensive, but not the majority. Their are simply people I do not want to read of or hear from.
