My real concern is how this topic became a 4-page discussion...

Alt F4 is one of my pet peeves and I couldn't agree more, doing that to some newb 2 weeker in the main should be a 24 hour total ban, not just chat, unable to log in and fly as well.

Do that around me in the TA and you'll be watching TV for an hour waiting for the boot timer to run down.

You want AH to stay alive, vibrant, continue to grow, then we need to KEEP more of those 2 week wonders.
Not abuse them.

I can see it in the TA.  Completely understandable.  The TA SHOULD be a sanctuary for learning.

Not so much in the MA.

Overall, most win-doze users should already know what the alt-F4 command does to any program that is running.


I'm really amazed how strongly some folks feel about a stupid joke.  I've personally never felt inclined to use it myself, but it still amuses me that it works.  It's not like telling someone that their mother died or something.  I find it as funny and harmless as asking a new guy on the flightline to go get a bucket of propwash, or a new guy in the machine shop to go ask around the shop and find out who has the aluminum magnet.

Juvenile? yes 
Amusing? matter of opinion
Cause for inquisition (other than in TA)?  Hardly.

ive done it very occasionally, and it still makes me smile when I see it :)

Its an initiation although I can see the other side of it, if even 1 in 50 new players dont fire up AH again thats not good. although I suspect anyone who gives up after one alt-F4 wont deal with AH's steep learning curve very well anyway ...

how about having an eg. alt-F5 command which just boots you to the TA instead? then we can send the noobs to go and bug ghosth instead ;)

It wouldn't hurt to add it to the filtered word list, where if you type it it comes back with a warning and isn't broadcast.  A ban seems a little excessive.
