To be clear I was not and never have been questioning why the abuser was muted, what I questioned was why someone that had not been muted asked why his squad mate was muted got muted instead of being directed to contact HTC.

This ended up being a lost episode of Judge Judy versus the modern cult of the victim with a side of swift boat. At least it didn't devolve into a lost MASH episode.

I have no problem with Mods and HTCs policy, except the time I got auto-muted for saying something about an F4U , forget the exact text, maybe I mizschpelt something too.

Next Tuesday at Red Robin maybe I'll try this
<snip>Go to a restaurant and start throwing food at others.  No sign says it is not allowed, anywhere.
<Snip>
Me:       [ Throws a French fry at a patron. ]
Them:   HEY, why are you throwing food???
Me:       Skuzzy told me to!
Them:   Who???
Me:       Skuzzy.
Them:   Security, throw this bum outa here!!!

A long time ago, typing F4UC 10K was interpreted by the software as trying to get around the filter, resulting in an auto warning and/or a possible auto mute.  :)

That rings a bell. I used to say Lusche knows 99.99% of Aces High, going with a full 100% from now on  :lol

At that time even squad channels got auto-filtered. I once got muted by telling my squad how much potato chips I had, in Finnish... Followed by the mute for me offending to kiss a squadmate on his forehead, using a word that's common language here although the origins of it are in Swedish. Yep, you guessed it, it has the same four letters as the Mega-you-know. Ahh, the bad old days...  :rock

Spelling wasabi, wassabi got you a auto naughty word warning. And all I was trying to do was ask wasabi a question on text.

Reason not to let moderators communicate to players:
Online the other day I wanted to let them know they have support and referencing Mods and Rockers, mentioned on country channel I'm a Rocker but that the Mods do a good job too.

Even a harmless comment like that got attention. Maybe I should compliment them on channel 1 [wonder if they see that in LW?].

I agree on the temp mute for bad words, even if stared out (provided it's law of the land) ....

BUT if he questions the call, wouldn't a simple "Foul language, even suggested foul language masking the actual word(s) with *'s will result in a temp. mute".

...an auto email when such action taken could avoid players "uncertainty".

IMO seems like the response is personal which I don't believe it should be.

Just my 2 cents....

Adding another 2 cents... :P

In another game I play when the system detects a "foul" word, it auto converts the word to an appropriate word that's unique enough that everyone else knows a bad word was said and the tone is carried over ....

Ex1: "Wow that stupid mother pudding!"
Ex2: "You chicken sucker!"

Problem solved ...everyone gets the tone, no one sees the actual foul language and no one gets muted ... :)

I have no problem with a bad word filter that blocks bad tone as well

It won't be me. I have never been muted online. I'm just betting that somebody would make an art form out of trying to get around such a filter.

Mama told me, people who cuss are ignorant because they don't have a large enough vocabulary so they don't have to cuss.

Novel idea, don't cuss, and you won't get muted...  #revolutionary
