I hate this consept of moderating communications. This would never happen if HTC was anything but US.

"Let" them deal with sofaking?

Sir, I believe you suggest powers that I do not possess! I doubt I could have interfered with them even if I had so wished.

I got my first popup warning the other night.

Somebody asked where a Panzer IV H had to shoot a Tiger to kill it and I tried to respond "Point blank, in the ass."

It didn't transmit and I got a popup warning me of my language. Now this was an automatic system warning, not a live person.

I had to send it agains as "Point blank, in the rear."

It just doesn't work that way.

Even US TV dosn't *bleep* out words like "silly" or "ass".

This is quite funny. Many players here belittle those who play Quake. At least that part of Quake community I am part of doesn't require moderators and such to keep the behaviour in check.

The words my rules, my game are the important factor here..

Unless it was hitech himself, it's obvious that this moderator is on a huge power rush over his position. He simply is the wrong person for the job if it's so.

Even a little bit of power can go into people's heads.. If the person is a dipshit with no life / ego, he can become a little hitler with a simple thing as an anonymous power to shut another person up.

A simple cure would be to openly ID the moderator when he mutes someone.

I'm not against moderator, of course but......
I think that, when someone act under anonimity, things are running in a wrong way. Too easy picking someone with warnings without showing your face.
If I am warned for something I'd like to know who he is, just like he knows who am I.
That's a question of equality for me.....

Bonden · « **Reply #38 on:** December 20, 2002, 05:21:13 AM »

I have a question or two. Is the moderator's name on the roster at the time or is he/she off somewhere lurking where his name is not visible?

Do moderators have the ability to read private messages? Does the system see private messages?

Just curious, have been muted only 2 or 3 times since I started here so it's not like I'm mouthing off ALL the time...

Maybe moderators could be identified by badge # for reporting problems about unfairness.

How about a MIB naming system? Agent J, Agent K.

You get the warning and it says "Agent L" at the bottom.

Could use a double alphabet "Agent KK" if there's lots of them or even go alpha-numeric like "Agent K10" if there's hordes.

What do ya think? And HT can give 'em one of the tiny silver pistols that blow big holes in things! They can hook 'em to the internet and WHAMMO! suddenly the offender's monitor just disappears!

Or would that be over the top?

No.. Toad..need one of those flashy things.... Now you will smile at the wrists and will no longer talk trash on channel one..

Want to keep the moderators honest and fair? Easy enough, just display their user name with the mute message. You will see moderation in the moderation in short order.

I've been muted just once over the past year, and that by the auto-mute for addressing mrdick, as just Dick.

My regards,

I've always been against all kinds of muting in principle..

But there are individuals on ch1 who really need to be muted. For some reason the muters seem to sleep mostly when theyre needed, though.

I hate the autofilter thingy. It's really irritating to try to rephrase something in middle of combat just because the automuter picked upon it.
