New "DR7"

[mechanic]

Simple solution. Speak to the guy, explain that our comrade who has pass on used that handle and as a community we think it would be great if he, the new player, would willingly change it out of respect. Any reasonable person would agree to that.

If he disagrees with that then most likely he has chosen the handle for attention and in disrespect of the original. At this point anyone who takes exception to the behaviour can perma-squelch him and reduce the attention he can gain from the stunt.

This physically makes me sick

Any reasonable person would agree to that.

Therein is the problem; “Any reasonable Person..”  if this guy was, this would have never been an issue.

he was spoken to about it in a polite and respectable manner in PM and 200. Multiple players reached out to see first if it may be a son or relative with no response. Multiple chances were given to communicate including walking through how to communicate via 200 and range vox. When the map reset to this player proceeded to act like he was Dr7 from the grave right before the map switched. Then at the beginning of the new map he created a squadron called zombie squad.....

You don't seem to understand, it is not a duplicate. There can not be a game id of both Dr7 and DR7. They are treated the same.

All Game id's are clean out from deleted accounts to be used again.

as a paying customer I just want to say that it is comforting to the very least that you are aware of the situation. I did not want to personally bother you with this as your a busy guy. I am good with whatever comes out of this including no action at all. After my disappointment and border line anger has passed the simple fact that we have been allowed the opportunity to share what transpired for this long brings enough closure on the subject for me to move on and ignore it if it happens again.

This has happened before and it probably will again before the end. 


<S> DR7

There are lots of re-used handles, more recently there's a seano and rekkof. Neither of home are the originals.

Also DR7 never participated on #200.

rekkof is an original. I knew him back in Warbirds and we just spoke with each other a week ago or so. . . .

Ah yeah, bad news then. So unanimous perma-squelch and give him/her no satisfaction.

[Mano]

agree  Rekkof is original. I have flown with him in many flight sims going back to Red Baron on the INN Network. We both had some huge bills back
in those days      and that was a really fun online flight sim.

You guys are being way over dramatic.  Just report his behavior to HTC and be done with it.  Put on your big boy pants.

Me too! He's been very quiet so I thought it was a new guy. Rekkof was -fokr- in WB right?

[dirtdart]

So was Pipz, and I'm pretty sure anyone could snatch his up if they wanted to.

If sacred shrine to the call signs of fallen players was not made for Pipz, then we're all fair game as far as I'm concerned.

Dude, don't tell me Pipz is dead.
