Not sure on the permanent squelch, what if that person leaves or changes their name and someone new picks up that name? Then they aren't ever heard from because their name has been perma squelched (at least by the individual that squelched them). Perhaps extending the squelch timer to 1 month would be a fair compromise?  :D

So what?  The only "injury" there would be to the person who did the squelching, it doesn't injure the "new guy with the same name" if I can't hear him.  In fact, he might just be better off overall. :)

There is a concern for the possibility of a future player, yet no concern for the folks here today paying their subscription and having there time in game degraded by some of the knuckleheads who populate the game.

+ 1

Maybe to alleviate HiTech's points of concern and find some middle ground, simply extend the squelch duration to at least a week.  Mr. HiTech would that be acceptable compromise sir?

Thanks,

There may be a few in game that might want to do this in game, one of has a name starting with L and ending in T, and is mostly nit  :). And my raging on 200 has gone down to once a week, and not set off by the game anymore, just the random idiot starting political or religious chatter, seriously, can't anyone stay off forbidden topics?

Unfortunately lately, I've been wishing for a "squad squelch", and no, not for my own  :lol

I don't know why you would want to squelch a whole damned squadron.
