I think one week suspension for a first offense is just about right.  I would like to see 2 weeks, 3 weeks, 4 weeks for each subsequent infraction of the rules.  Yes, there are people who will annoy you here.  Some people only play because the want to be annoying on the buffer it sometimes seems.  When you respond, in kind, to people of this ilk, you not only empower them and give them what they want (attention), you also drag the game down a bit farther.  You either make this game better or you make this game worse with your actions sir.

Your actions are also not justified because someone else is worse than you and you were "just responding".  You do not need to respond.

The game will be quite playable with comms suspended.  Yes we will miss your vital intelligence information and you will have to use your mouse for a check 6 but all things will pass, you will be back "hangin' wit yur homeys" in no time.

Self control, learn how to use it.

There are plenty of times every night that I want to cuss someone out because I feel like I was "cheated" or "unfairly owned". The reason I don't lash out at people is because that person that made me mad might be a friend tomorrow, and I'd hate to burn that bridge.

If someone is taunting you or being a dick to you just be the better man and move on. Better yet if you can make a clean but witty response is even better.  :D

It is also quite playable without reading 200.  Actually, if you are reading it, you are not playing.  Its funny how a couple of words on a text buffer that scrolls so fast no one can really read (unless that is all they are doing) can get you banned for a week, but anyone can tune to my radio and start teaching my kids new words lol.

We've been getting a lot of these text and chat banned complaints since HiTech and company moved us back to a single arena. Maybe it's time for the dreaded next move on HTC's part if so many have so littel self control.

HTC, please disable ch200.

I haven't been in Late War for years but seems to me Ch200 is voluntary. It's not like the All channel in MidWar where everyone is on it whether they want to be, or not. If you don't like Channel 200, tune it out, but don't ruin it for others that enjoy it.

99% of what is typed on 200 wasn't worth the time it took to type it.  Perhaps 10-15 minute timeouts for the 200 mental midgets who type more than X number of lines per minute would free up much needed chat buffer space.  Of course then Midway wouldn't ever get to use 200.

See you all on 201.  That brings up a question though.  Is channel 201, 202, 203 etc also being moderated?  I understand country, range and the old channel 1, but why is a specific tunable channel moderated?

I'll quote again from an unknown person:

"Never ague with an idiot, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience" ... which is EXACTLY what happened for you. You got banned, and he didn't. End of story.  If you can't follow that very easy rule, then you deserve your 1 week ban, sorry. Its not too long, you get angry at first, then, a couple days later, when emotions have settled, you start to rationnalise and put things in perspective. You don't have time to do that in 10minutes.
