Ok, i just got muted again. Honestly, no surprise. Getting used to it. But from now on im not stepping hoof back into the worldchat. Im noticing when i get randomly muted, a few others do as well. Lil got muted as soon a s i did and a few others quit talking as well. Lil managed to shake the mute and come back. Me.... It will probably be another 3 days before i get unmuted again -_-. I think whats happening, is some lurker comes on, looks through whos talking, and says, ok ima mute this guy, this guy and this guy, hehehe. And leave.
Has anyone else seen what i am experiencing? Or am i just imagining it? I think this games creater needs to get off his butt and fix this before it runs the game into the ground. Why would any game designer give the average and rookie player full muting rights?!!??!? Im sorry i dint cuss but what the hell was he thinking!!!!! That was a real bonehead move, giving admin powers of anykind to an untrustworthy player. I think that should be reserved for mods, which ive noticed this game kinda lacks.

You're right Dashie, thegame could definitely use some moderators. But it is what it is for now.

I get reports and answer daily to a few hundredths emails from Dogfight community... I just don't post on the forum. Again, I can't help the game, neither improve it if I spend half my time just reading and replying in the forum. That's why I just each squadron to self moderate themselves with my minimum intervention.

People fake reporting are getting nice surprises. You just don't find out because I don't go posting on the forum with the list of people that I ban every day. Every "report", as the name says, sends a message directly to me. I see it and if someone is playing around, that person gets banned. Simple as that. I place about 10 bans a day because of it.

As for the forum, it's too big for me to read it all. That's why you can either email me or just hit the "report" button on the forum. I get a message both ways to check what's going on.

and btw, if they change their names I can see who they are. I have a system that tracks every name change, so changing their name is just silly.

I hope Zup 's lack of presence is because he is busy working on DF2....

Even if he is, i dont see a reason in abandoning the game he has already created. If u cant handle working on both, then dont. U know, dont bite off more than u can chew

Wait, since he sees whats a fake mute, why doesnt he unmute whos been muted. I deal with 3 day mutes, get back to being able to talk for a day and bam, muted again for another 3 days

It might just be that I'm muted very short, but mostly when I shut the game totally down, and open it again I'm good to go again.
