I DON`T KNOW ABOUT U GUYS,BUT IT SEEMS TO ME
(A KNOWN TRASHTALKER)
THATS IT IS PRETTY EASY TO TAKE PART IN THIS GAME WITHOUT RESORTING TO COMPLETLY FOUL LANGUAGE. I LIKE TO MIX IT UP A LITTLE, BUT BEING TOLD TO F-OFF 5 CONSECUTIVE TIMES BY MEXICANREBEL IS A LITTLE MORE THAN I CARE TO PUT UP WITH,AFTER PAYING MY $20. HIS REASON BEING THAT I WAS RUDE FOR NOT SAYING THANK YOU FOR A COMPLIMENT FROM ANOTHER PLAYER. SOUNDS REASONABLE.....HUH?
I DONT KNOW ,MAYBE I`M OLD FASHIONED, BUT IT WOULD BE NICE IF SOMETHING COULD BE DONE TO TAME SOME OF THE MORE,HOW SHALL WE SAY...........UNRULY PLAYERS.

LANGUAGE BARRIER
I could not agree more. like yourself I like to inject some humor into this game, and have been band for my efforts more then once, but I know where to draw the line unlike some players. I too am an old fashiond kind of guy and I prescibe an old fashiond remedy to deal with these rude people, and that would be a good @ss whooping on the battle field. I would just like to add some advice for new players. If you are being insulted by some guy in an op don't get angry and start chasing him around, that's a good way too get hammerd. Just stay cool and save your amo you will run into him soon anougth and when you do just take your time and make shure you aim is true. And take the guy out cold-blooded.
Fist of all I would like to apologise,if I have made your game of tanx less enjoyable,due to some of my foulmouth explosions.BUT being a typical Scotsman,I do like a drink at the weekend,which is when I tend to lose it A bit,but it is all in good humour,until you meet some of the,how can I put it?(without getting another demerit)unruly people. Hope to be more well behaved in the future. It is better to stay silent and look a fool,,than to say something and prove it.
jeez JJ, you hammerd my piont into the ground so far that its probably in the earths core. please moderators take notice, we do not tend to like hanging around people who use every other word that begins with F or D or all the above. its not pleasent and its not cute. some have actually
LEFT
because of it and i knew them pretty well. please if we come to you asking for your help, to kick some 1 off or do SOMETHING about it, dont just tell us to use mute.. it doesnt work like we hope because some way or another they get their point across. *-NERO-* #~Forever~#
WHEW !!
I`m glad I`m not alone........
I was afraid that I would be hogtied by the mob!
Then paraded around the town square while
hordes of people cursed at me!!
hi JJ it is indeed troublesome.. unfortunately MP's can't be in all the matches at once to monitor for this kind of thing.. one helpful tool is mute... but I also know it's not effective all the time.. especially if a harassing user changes nicknames to continue.. making a note of the time and reporting to moderator@flyordie.com can be helpful for the site admin. people.. their ability to check chat logs and act accordingly can often help. let me know if I can be of any help in the future in regards to this.. thanks GHOST MP
It's great to know that the chat buffer is being saved into a log...that really helps out in the ability to spot troublesome users.
I'm old fashioned too...I say if ur getting grief from another player...just BLAST THE F***ING H**L OUTTA THE D***LESS LITTLE D**CH*B*G OF A B**T**D!!! uh....i mean...umm...shoot 'em. You know. Like...... dead. Kill em....................................I guess
THATS PRETTY CUTE TRACKSQUIDLY
AND YOU PORTRAY AN EXCELLENT POINT IN YOUR POST.
WHEN WE ARE IN CHAT MODE, IF YOU HAVE TO CHANGE THE WAY A WORD GETS TYPED IN, SO THAT IT WILL APPEAR ON THE SCREEN, YOU PROBABLY SHOULD'NT SAY IT. i KNOW THAT EVERYONE THINKS THAT F.O.D. IS OVERPROTECTIVE,BUT WHEN YOU TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THAT KIDS, ALL OVER THE WORLD ARE PLAYING AND READING THE FOUL LANGUAGE, IT REALLY REPRESENTS COMPLETE LACK OF AWARENESS THAT THOSE TYPES OF WORDS AND PHRASES ARE ADULT IN NATURE. aLSO A COMPLETE DISREGARD FOR THE WELL BEING OF KIDS. IN MY BOOK , THAT KIND OF MAKES SOMEONE, A REAL NASTY KIND OF PERSON. ONE THAT I DONT CARE TO KNOW,OR ASSOCIATE WITH. SOMEONE WHO DOESN`T CARE ABOUT KIDS,OR IS UNWILLING TO ADJUST THIER BEHAVIOR FOR KIDS SAKE IS A REAL(expletive deleted)!!!!!would it have killed you to say thank you....i know Mexicanrebel went of the deep end and all but you should say thank you when people(me) compliment you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
I dont have a problem with people posting what is bothering them or if someone gets out of line, but I do have a problem when someone ommits what they did so it makes it seem like they they were just targets of an evil player who just went on a profanity rampage. Take it as you will
you asked him to cuss at you so he did then you get p!s$ed of at him for doing it a threaten to get us banned and you run of crying all because you couldnt say 2 simple words....
thank you

WELL NOW. ENLISHCOWBOY,AND MEXICANREBEL. IT`S NICE THAT YOU COULD RESPOND. I`M GLAD TO SEE YOU`VE GOT THE GUTS TO STEP INTO THE FIRE AND DEBATE THIS ISSUE.
AS YOU BOTH CAN SEE, THERE ARE MANY WHO FEEL THE SAME WAY I DO ABOUT USING FOUL LANGUAGE IN THE CHAT MODE. SO, I`M NOT ALONE. IN CASE YOU DON`T REMEMBER "EXACTLY" WHAT WAS SAID, HERE`S A REFRESHER TAKEN STRAIGHT OFF OF THE SCREENSHOTS I TOOK OF THE CONVERSATION.
I SAID, "THAT`S 100"(MEANING 100 KILLS IN THAT OP)
ENGLISHCOWBOY SAID,"CONGRATS ON 100 JJ"
I DID NOT RESPOND TO THIS, NOT BECAUSE I WAS BEING RUDE,BUT RATHER, BECAUSE I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF COMBAT WITH OTHER PLAYERS.AS YOU BOTH, AND EVERYONE KNOWS,IF YOU STOP TO TYPE, YOU DIE!
MEXICANREBEL THEN SAID,"HE JUST PAYED YOU A COMPLIMENT, YOU COULD AT LEAST SAY THANK YOU"
ENGLISHCOWBOY THEN SAID,"I KNOW HOW RUDE"
THEY THEN BOTH MADE TWO MORE COMMENTS ABOUT HOW RUDE I WAS BEING.
I THEN SAID, "HOLY CR@P DUDE, RELAX."
NOW, I WILL FREELY ADMIT THAT SAYING HOLY CRAP IS NOT AN ACCEPTED PHRASE BY F.O.D. AND I WILL ACCEPT ANY CONSEQUENCE THAT COMES WITH THAT. BUT I THINK MOST WOULD AGREE THAT SAYING HOLY CR@P IS A MINOR(AT BEST) INFRACTION OF THE LANGUAGE RULES.
FROM THAT POINT IN THE CONVERSATION, I WAS THEN VERBALLY ASSAULTED WITH 5 ENTRIES IN A ROW FROM BOTH ENGLISHCOWBOY AND MEXICANREBEL EACH ONE OF THEM CONTAINING AT LEAST ONE,SOMETIMES MORE THAN ONE,USAGE OF THE "F" WORD. I NEVER SAID ANOTHER WORD THAT COULD EVEN BE SLIGHTLY CONSTRUED AS PROFANITY.
AND THAT IS THE TRUTH SO HELP ME GOD!
MAYBE THAT`S NOT WHAT YOU GUYS REMEMBER, BUT I HAVE THE SCREENSHOTS TO PROVE IT.
I ONLY WANT TO MAKE THE POINT THAT PROFANITY IS NOT NECESSARY. IF I OFFENDED YOU BY SAYING HOLY CR@P,I APOLOGIZE AND WILL PROMISE YOU AND EVERYONE THAT I WILL NOT USE THAT LANGUAGE AGAIN.
WILL YOU DO THE SAME??
SOMEHOW I DOUBT IT. BUT HOPEFULLY YOU HAVE SOME CHARACTER, AND WILL REFRAIN IN THE FUTURE. MY SON
AND I`M SURE MANY OTHER CHILDREN AND PARENTS WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF YOU COULD REFRAIN.
OVER AND OUT

HEY MEXIACANREBEL AND ENGLISHCOWBOY!! WHY DONT YOU FOLLOW THE EXAMPLE OF PETERO1 HE RESPONDED TO THIS SUBJECT, AND APOLOGIZED, SHOWING CLASS AND CHARACTER.HE ADMITS THAT IT IS INAPPROPRIATE EVEN THOUGH HE`S DONE IT. DO YOU HAVE AS MUCH CLASS AND CHARACTER?
Hey JJ do you still have the screenshots of you whispering to me trying to get me to cuss at you some more? Now I will admit maybe i got carried away but dont make it seem like you are the perfect tanx role model when you are not, we all have our flaws i might be a hot head, but you fail to mention you whispering to me as well as englishcowboy. Hope you still have those screenshots.
I DO, AND YOUR RIGHT, I EGGED YOU ON BECAUSE YOU WERE ON A ROLL ,BUT I NEVER USED PROFANITY AND IN CASE YOU DIDN`T NOTICE, THAT IS WHAT WE`RE TALKING ABOUT HERE. I NEVER SAID THAT TRYING TO GET UNDER SOMEONES SKIN IS A PROBLEM. HECK, THATS WHAT MAKES THE GAME FUN. DO ANYTHING YOU CAN TO GET TO YOUR OPPONENT ,SHORT OF TELLING PEOPLE TO F OFF ITS NOT THE HEAT THATS THE PROBLEM, JUST THE REALLY BAD LANGUAGE,DOES THAT MAKE IT ANY CLEARER? AND I`LL TELL YOU RIGHT NOW THAT IF YOU STARTED CURSING AT ME, I WOULD DO THE SAME THING. I NEVER SAID I WAS A VICTIM, YOU DID. ARE YOU NOW SAYING THAT YOU WERE THE VICTIM? WHY DON`T YOU GET YOUR STORY STRAIGHT. I WILL "TRASH TALK" ALL DAY IF I THINK IT WILL RATTLE MY OPPONENTS. BUT I DO NOT STOOP TO THE LEVEL OF USING FOUL LANGUAGE. THERE IS A DIFFERENCE. I CLEARLY GOT TO YOU THAT EVENING , SO MY STRATEGY WAS WORKING, THE QUESTION IS, CAN YOU TAKE IT WITHOUT CUSSING UP A STORM? USE YOUR HEAD, I`LL BET YOU CAN THINK OF SOME MORE CREATIVE WAYS TO GET YOUR POINT ACROSS WITHOUT SWEARING. I`VE NO WISH TO FIGHT WITH YOU. I POSTED THIS TO FLOAT AN IDEA SO MAYBE PEOPLE WOULD THINK ABOUT IT A LITTLE. THAT`S ALL
SRY ABOUT THE DOUBLE POST........OH AND I KIND OF GOOFED AND TYPED A LITTLE TOO CLOSE TO THE REAL WORDS IN THAT LAST POST, SRY.....
IT`S LATE..... AND I`M TIRED AND I WANT TO GO TO BED
I HAD A LITTLE DRINK ABOUT AN HOUR AGO
AND IT SHOT RIGHT TO MY HEAD
OOOOOOOOH SHOW ME THE WAY TO GO HOME!I think all the parties involved have made their case in this topic....however.. it appears to be on a down hill slide so it's better to lock it... everyones had a chance to speak their peace. GHOST
