You fuck up tonight in the tourney and I will throat punch you!

Eta...

Just save them for the next ban.



 

You're still good. Just save them for tomorrow.

 

The comet will teach you that quick and in a hurry. That's for sure.

And that is why I loved platooning with Turbo. Dude is a riot.

*cough* thank you manic *cough*

If Manic did indeed do this, I owe him a HUGE apology.



Otherwise it seemed to me that he was blindly defending it.



 

Didn't seem that way to me. Then again, he was an Officer.

OK, I just wandered over to one of the leads for my own gratification. (I do note that bcauz3y has already noticed it was fixed by the time I got there). I did not fix anything, it was dealt with by the time I got out of my meeting and was able to go ask questions.

Here's the backstory.

It was supposed to be a chat ban. The guy issuing the ban either misclicked or gave the wrong kind of ban for whatever reason. Every game ban is automatically reviewed by a lead for a second set of eyes, the mistake was identified at some point before I got to anyone, the unused day of premium returned.

What is an open question right now is whether or not the current policies cover compensation due to being mistakenly banned at the time a tournament happened. The leads hadn't copped the coincidental timing until I asked them. As far as we know, this is the first time anyone has been mistakenly game-banned by us with resulting tournament repercussions. The lads will mull over the issue, my guess is you'll likely end up with a bit more premium time.

On the matter of 'snowflakes', however, there are two issues.
Firstly, some of the 'snowflakes' are as young as 13 years old. (Unofficially, we know even younger players are playing). Yes, it probably helps explain some random pubbie teams. Going around threatening a 13-year-old  to punch him in the fuckign neck as he's worthless motherfucking cunt is not, however, a case of overly sensitive feelings, it's a case of being utterly inappropriate behaviour and a detremental game environment. I have no idea how you ordinarily act around children, but I don't want my daughter suffering such exposure.

The chat censor is not the end-all and be-all. The censor is not an excuse to be abusive or use foul language, it is a safety net so people don't see things while we deal with the issue. I doubt the censor would have blocked 'fuckign", and it doesn't matter if that was an accidental typo or a deliberate effort to bypass the censor. Yes, trash talk is all well and good. But you can talk trash within the bounds of acceptably civilised vocabulary.

As for the folks who haven't been chatbanned for it, so what? Do you complain to the cop when he pulled you over because the other 30 times you went down the highway at ten over the limit you weren't pulled over?

If your 12 year old kids are unsupervised with open chat on the internet, I assert that YOU are the fucking problem.



If you have a problem with chat, turn it off.



Just for the record, my 12 year old son plays this game. I'm a good enough parent to supervise him, and discourage him from interacting in chat.
 

Well....

Every other time I put the chimp in the closet he was alive when I opened the door...

Chat banning isn't the issue.



Frankly I could care less.



Look man, I like you, I appreciate what you do for the community here. You're a solid dude, and your videos are cool as hell.



That being said, I'm still going to call bullshit when it's time to call bullshit.



There is no way for you "parent" the kids on this game, and while I accept that my behavior is pretty tastless and rude, you have a game mechanic in place to protect the wee ones.



Don't punish us because they fail to use the mechanics you have in place.





 

With respect, we punish you if you break the rules. And I quote:



My bold.

Understood. I accept that.



I was only upset because my punishment was disproportionate with the crime.



Also, I'm even referencing the censor filter. I'm talking about turning chat off.



 

LMAO

Reading that in your voice like you're doing a tank review made me lose it.

Uhm

I appreciate your attempt to answer (what I think was my question) but to ask another

just for my curiosity again

what exactly is "Excessive profanity "
and is that a measure how how many times in a game ?
in a specific sentence ?
how is "Excessive" determined

Really not trying to be an ass Manic and I hope its not comming across that way, for reasons you already know I understand that chat and kids
(found last night that a certain platoon friend of mine got called a "buttface" last night, and while thats probably something you guys would laugh at and not do anything about, because I know the person that said it "I" do have a problem with it )
but I would like to know what Excessive is and how you guys determine that...

Not because I would skirt the lines or anything of course just because I would like to know to enhance my gaming experience in the future.

Starting to think there's no hope.





Got into a 78% chance to win match in my KV2.





First 2 minutes I got one shot from behind by a friendly KV2.



Also I cuss and whatever else but I don't care. Another reason I play on a free account. Ban me and I'll move on.

Further down the rules we state that things will be taken on a case by case basis. Much like the Supreme Court's porn pronouncement, "We'll know it when we see it". Yes, it's subjective. But it also means that we will let things slide. I've seen plenty of profanity in the game which I've not sent on to the admins due to the perceived intent, relatively mild effect, etc. Much like cops will usually leave you alone if you're only doing five over.

The problem with turning off chat entirely is that, on rare occasions, the chat is actually used to provide pertinent and useful information to be used to co-ordinate action and win the game. Why should players be encouraged to handicap themselves because other players can't be polite and play nice?

Does turning off chat turn off map pings and hot key statements?  If so there really needs to be 2 settings, as it would seem turning chat off would be a good thing for young kids, but still allow them to communicate with the preset hotkeys.

Meh, shooting friendly KV2's in the back of the turret with another KV2 will occur from time to time. Happens to the best of us.

I don't think it does. I may be wrong.



I bet I'm going to find out though, because #Imgonnaturnchatoff.



 

This is a valid point.



 

They already did that for you!

Don't hack me bro.

Now hold on Larry, I have to side with Awesome on this one.

If I were trying to get someone to help me fit a PZ1c into the open turret bay of a RHM and carry it around like an angry little gunner, that would be pretty badass if it worked. Had I tried several times to get that little tank in there and failing, and that RHM then shot me in the behind, I'd call them a buttface too.

The case against Awesome is hereby dismissed.

oops

Working as Intended I guess

Alright, that all makes sense and from my POV as a non involved person here I would like to thank you for being a standup guy in attempting to do something for Brad regardless of how it played out.
Even dismissing the language and tone he used with you in something he was completely at fault in, you took it on yourself and went to look into it, you found out your organization was wrong and made sure the error was corrected ....

thats a pretty stand up way to do things in my book

too often stuff like that is overlooked or reasoned out to be right...

Much RESPECT on that one Manic and I mean that.
Larry

Don't rub it in, I already feel like an asshole.



 

well maybe for forum purposes but not for "DAD" purposes

although I have to admit it was funny as hell wasnt it.   you can see that in game right a PZ1c sitting on the turret of the rhm BRRRRAPPPPP ..Loading ......BOOOM,,,,,loading...... UP ...BRAPPPPPP

LOL

oh no Brad that really wasnt meant for a slight on you.
Just complementing Manic on being a real stand up kinda guy.

Yes he really is.



 

The part in red is the funniest thing I have heard all day. And who says Manic doesn't have a sense of humor?

Hey, I did say "rare occasions".

You should see how much trouble I have getting people to do a 2-minute rush on Malinovka.

That's how it sounded in my head.

Clearly I am missing out.  My side hurts from laughing about that one.

I think everyone that was in channel with us last night laughed themselves silly  Between Turbo &  Smith Winston  there is rarely  a dull moment

Crap, not only did I print a couple thousand of them to hand out, I've already been rioting on the street corner here for a few hours.   Its gonna be real hard to explain why I set my neighbor's couch on fire in the middle of the street while I watched it burn from the back of my bro bug out truck with my full fo-time kit on.

Guess I better find something else fun to do tonight rather than ask for justice to be served!   Guess I'll go watch the movie Fury instead, but need to take my fo-time kit off first...

Speaking of tanks...pretty cool tank inspired Halloween costume for a special needs child.

Don't make me cock punch you in the neck.



 

Stop into the Myth TS some night. That seems to be the gathering spot.

If you see me, Zoomie, Larry, Smith, Rambo, Sax, and Window in one channel, shit is going to get hilarious with a quickness. Basically we solve the world's problems with the power of racism, sexism, and questioning each other's sexual preference, all lubricated by the magic that is alcohol.

Last night we discussed the possibility of a fat woman having to stand up to take a bath for fear that were she to sit down the water would rise in the toilet (testing of this theory continues), I accused Larry of gross negligence in driving, Smith of being of African descent, and I swear we had three platoons yammering in one channel for fear we might miss something hilarious. Everyone had a good laugh about Larry's kid trying to talk people into allowing him to attempt to somehow fit his tier 3 tank into the open turret of another tank, and how Rambo is a total communist because he wants to, unnecessarily, have the RU251 fully upgraded before he runs it. (It's fine without)

If you're into that kind of banter, and being a jarhead I'm sure you'd fit right in, pop in and say whassup.

I had a 30 day forum ban there because they asked that I change my avatar which was



So I changed it to


BOOM 30 day forum ban for religious violations. I asked them why they wouldn't change my username then since it was religious...

These rules were added after too many NA members with weak constitutions QQ'd. Chat was fucking worse than 4chan for awhile! Good fucking times, when shit talking was good to go.

I took a chat ban for "stfu". No shit, "stfu"

Hahaha my old clan leader got banned once just before a WGLNA match where we ended up scrambling for another guy for saying, "Thanks Obama!" In general chat.

Granted we ended up with Shrewmz who is easily one of the best players in the game as his replacement and we wrecked Relic and a SIMP because of it, but a full 24 hour ban for saying thanks Obama? There must be some real liberal shitstain pricks at the moderation helm...

There's a good reason for that.

Fuuuuuuuuuu.
