Filters apply to all text channels, im not complaining about swearing verbally.  YOu have to get reported to get muted, with text you get muted after a warning and not cleaning up language enough the 2nd time.

Gentlemen,

Welcome to the lowering of expectations by the "greatest of generations" yet, Millennials. From what I can tell, they wish most of us 40 and older would just die and leave them alone because we screwed this pooch for them.

The owner of the game isn't one, and probably won't pay any attention to the OP's request to lower our basement floor below the sewage lines for the emotional realism factor. Stank is stink no matter how much tolerance you paint that pig with.

Just remember, for the Millennials, 50 will probably be who we were at 30. But, danged if they can text, selfi, and demand the global lowering of everyone else's expectations like they are the new dawning tolerant enlightenment of mankind. As long as it's us "tolerating" them. Narcissism is not a two way street, nor does it tolerate opposing values.

Seriously? You're complaining that you don't get to type poo to whomever in game? I can almost understand those who let slip, verbally (though when you hear the f-bomb drop every third to other word it seems they just discovered the 'novelty' and are showing it off for the rest of us) but typing is more deliberate. Your defense of this, in light of the reaction you got, is sheep dip.  :D

Exactly what game are you trying to "game".  You live like this all the time?

His fingers slipped :)

As one who did have a younger son flying with me in Both Airwarrior and Aces High, I appreciated that there were expectations of how people presented themselves.  In theory the older vet players set the example for the new ones coming in.

In that case, maybe I don't want my son on Aces High.  :rofl

No they don't. You can type swears all day long on "squad" text, which is as it should be; unrestricted.

Clearly a sign of a true cartoon pilot.  Maybe folks could stamp the number of F-bombs thrown on the side of thier cartoon airplane? It would be the cartoon manly thing to do after all :)

whilst flying formation with santa (hitech) the other nite, i heard people drop the occasional f or s on range voice.

i don't think they were muted..

so, i figure context is important. "oh s! there's santa!" probably gets a pass where "you're a ganging piece of s!" does not..

and i'm sick of seeing it repeated again and again, but I really don't think it has anything to do with age.. the most obnoxious and profane people I've heard on range sound older than me and i'm 39.

I beware anyone who brings political opinions into a video game. even one who sneaks them in on the forum, every chance he gets. bustr.

There may not be younger people on the game, but there are some out there who have small children in the house. These same children might like to sit with daddy while he plays. Just saying!
