I'm going to invade your heart like a barn swallow high on milk chocolate and grandma love.

Fairness is only possible within the limited powers of man. Elsewhere, there is only chance.

Thus I refute thee.

Silly, silly Loaf.

When people don't have any other reasonable explanation, they use a poor and stupid excuse to defend themselves. Way back in the Quaker days it was witches, and now it's videogames.

You guys are still arguing about this? Just drop it already.

It's the kids (you know who you are) that cry and whine over every little thing that upsets your delicate self-esteem because you were pampered as crap growing up, that have taken away a lot of nice things.

If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.


Is that something your mom says to you? Maybe you should have listened to her; you could have avoided this mute ban

Moo.

Loaf, I doubt anything except for a thread locking will shut you up, Most people mute for a reason, and its usually over talking, abusive language, or just being outright annoying.
almost everyone that I know that has been mute banned is one of the above, so if you can prove that you havent been ANY of those, I will belive you were banned by trolls, but at the time you havent showed any of that, and you have little logic in your posts, your self centered, and the bad part for you is this:
NO.ONE.GIVES.A.-blam!-.

If it does't matter than why do people bother replying? I'll leave if that's what you jerks want me to do. You would have probably already muted me if we where online like that and stuff. This sucks. I 'm going to go do something that doesn't involve arguing with jerks


Is anyone really being that mean? No. Just get over it, there is nothing you can do.

So I just don't this this constitutes fairness.

Fairness has a pretty simple test.

Flip the participants.

If you have ever muted or placed a voice complaint against another player online, then you consider it fair that you use the tools provided by game developers and/or XBL.

If you have, then you just don't like that it is YOU who are on the receiving end.


Okay, how are you not putting to much control in the hands of online players? I mute little kids very easily who are yelling before the game. So, i'm on the receiving end of what? what am I receiving beside plain unfairness at the hands of kids I meet online? Who's to say a person is being fair at all? A person could mute you for a million reasons and I have to be muted for weeks and months I hear! I feel like it's unfairly singling out people online. It is not that big a deal to just be able to speak online itself, I get that, what i'm concerned about is simply that it's really lame. Why do you have to change the rules so much?

What I read was, "of course I should be allowed to use these tools as I see fit, after all I trust myself. But I don't trust those OTHER people to use them responsibly, especially since they might use them against me."

It's not "unfairly singling people out", if you are voice banned by XBL, it is because enough people took the time to file a complaint and XBL responded. If enough people have blanket mutes (they don't hear anyone but friends) that is how they choose to spend their time on XBL (it's no different than if they unplugged their headsets). Are you saying that you should have the authority to come into someone else's living room even if they have said that unless they know you, they don't want you there?

So, I don't care about my rights and i'm aware that I have none, I just want to have a good time online.


Breaking my own mute ban for a moment.

So you are saying that your ability to have a good time online is dependent on your voice being played through the headphones and speakers in the living rooms of strangers around the world?

You must REALLY have important things to say.


I just said that I know from experience that discretion of other players aint a part of the online experience.

What is this about playing through speakers in people rooms? There is an option on the Xbox to make people's voices play through the headset!

Why can't you just let online be and not try to make this kind of change? It makes no sense.


Recon he is either incapable of understanding your argument or you are being trolled.

Duracell.
I don't keep going and going and going and...
but i Start, and just don't Stop.

So what if the saxophone is black?
it has better tone the the gold one.
damn straight i play Jazz.

as one of two people that were intrumental in changing how the mute ban works(Hylebos and I ran a 3500+post thread on it that got it's functionality changed) you WERE doing something that caused you to be banned.

It is not based on people muting you now, it is based on Decibel levels coming through your mic and constant sound.

This means if your mic is constantly producing static or you are yelling through your mic, or your TV is so loud the sound echoes through your mic, YOU WILL BE BANNED. these are things that are in your control, that piss people off. It also means that people can't abuse the system to make it easier for you to get banned.

@Helveck

Just an Average Joe...

People still have the choice to listen to you by the option of "unmuting". If they chose not to, they're more than welcome to exercise that option. There's nothing you can do and you're not being treated unfairly. Get over it, and stop worrying about something so pathetically unimportant.

I personally dont play online with player chat on. I have been in too many games where people would curse and say really offensive things like f@g. Personally I think its good because it keeps people like f@g off the chat. I do know what you mean though op. It is unfair but what are we gonna do.
