View Full Version : Your Opinion on a Squelching Situation

10-16-2009, 12:12 PM
I thought I'd ask if anyone has ever seriously squelched a guildie with the intention of keeping them squelched.

One example of actions witnessed was the Squelcher offered an item up in chat and saying there was no way the guildie you have squelched would get it. No one else but that guildie wants the item, but, you put the item for auction on the AH. Being that it wasn't really soemething the squelchee needed, they did not buy it and did not consider buying it because they felt the Squelcher was bashing his/her feelings. So, the weapon sat on the AH until it expired. The weapon wasn't really nice anyway considering that Shroud weapons were better in all ratings (and this was mod 8).

Whatever the Squelcher did was because of something the squelchee had done way back in mod 4 or a little after the server-merge before they even were a guildie of the Squelcher and they have no recollection of what it was they even did. The guildie that recieved the squelch was basically a casual gamer and new to the game (and all MMOs) at the time. The squelchee tried to use logic, appology, and the greater good to attempt to reason in mod 8+9 to get unsquelched so all can benefit from better communication. It's not like the individual would be getting any kind of item, or reward of item value from being unsquelched. The squelchee is always respectful of others and treats everyone right, but at times did do minor things others might not have agreed with.

In my opinion, it would benefit any parties and/or raids if all members could see/hear what the others were saying. It's not like any offensive language or poor behavior resulted in the squelch which the guildie in question recieved from another. The guildie that is squelched acknowledges that some of the newbish behavior may have caused it, since they were a very casual gamer during the time period they received the squelch, but if that was ~5 mods ago (prior to mod 5, or about 2-3 years ago), people change. Can anyone honestly say that they play/act the same as when they first started playing a DDO (especially if it was their first experience playing an MMORPG)? Can anyone say that they act 100% the same with others and do 100% of all their actions from 3 years ago as a person in general? It would be a positive move if all needless and senseless grudges which hold no current merit could be dropped.

I know a lot of people do have a forgiving attitude, and if someone is extremely insulting and offensive, or rude, they probably deserve a squelch. But if someone has done a few minor things which you might have not agreed with, is a squelch and a longterm grudge really necessary (especially if both involved are guildies). Should a guildie ever squelch another guildie for any reason instead of trying to mutually resolve differences or put aside any of their past mistakes?

I would like to know how others view the situation?

Squelch should be the end of things. Squelch the ones you can't stand, then move on and forget about anything to to with those people. Theres no need to bring up anything on the forums that resulted in a squelch in game.

That entire spiel can be modified to make the squelcher look bad, or the squelchee look bad, it's all in how they each perceive it. If the squelcher is just on here to enjoy a game and not be bothered by the squelchee, then they have no reason to unsquelch. squelch squelch squelch. I don't think I've seen that word this many times on one page.

The party of the third part is having difficulty understanding the scenario posted by the party of the first part concerning any alleged action taken/not taken by the party of the second part.

Having said that, if you're in a guild where guild mates are squelching other guild mates and it's not getting resolved by the officers/leaders of said guild, I don't think you're really in a guild.

Being in a guild of one, however, doesn't give me any common ground so take my advice with a grain of salt.

The squelcher person has the right to block whomever they want.

To make a comparison, if a woman gets a restraining order against a man, for whatever reason, and the man doesn't understand why, is she supposed to go through a 3rd party and tell the man why she chose to get one? No, just deal with it and move on.

I've never squelched a guildie, but I've been tempted. And I never squelch over minor issues. It takes a lot for me to do so, be it in the game, here on the forums, or with life in general.

Sad that you felt the need to do so, but if it makes your time spent in game happier and more fulfilling then you made the right call. If it bothers you to have done so, then perhaps you overreacted...

Would a restraining order be issued if the man was the woman's uncle, and the only conflict between the two were different political and economic ideologies. No violence and no offensive terms ever used? She wouldn't be approved for a restraining order.

If you are the squelcher then you don't need our point of view -- do what you think is right.

If you are the squelchee then it is inappropriate to come here looking for sympathy or support. The squelcher had a reason and whether guildie now or not it is up to the squelcher to make their own decision.

If you are neither squelcher or squelchee then stay out of it as it is none of your business. It only becomes your business if you are a guild officer and the issue is causing all sorts of heartache in the guild. If that is the case then it is a guild officer decision and whatever they decide will be best.

Regardless, it isn't something that belongs in the forums.

But if she hates that uncle ( for whatever reason ), she doesn't have to ever talk to the man, much less sit next to him at Thanksgiving.

I'm just saying; This is each individual's relaxation time. No one can force anyone to group with those they have no interest in grouping with ( again, for whatever reason ).

Forgive me; But the way you paint it, the squelcher seems unreasonable. But, we're only getting one side of the story here.

I don't know when squelching came to the game.... But back mod 1 or 2 one of the six founders of a guild I had just joined had a coniption fit about the wisdom helm from a von 6 run and being excluded from taking it on his intimitank over the two guild clerics.

This was when +4 items were top dog. There were many other issues....rest of guild got Along with him and rest of guild got along with me.... But that rat bastard made me irrationaly irritated and I would have loved to squelch him, destroy him, toss him from them game. He did leave game about gianthold time. Man I man in want to squelch him now....

Kind of hard to give advice without knowing how severe the original offense was, or how the relationship between the two players is/was. I've left guilds in other games due to the actions of one idiot or another none the less squelch them. While at face value you paint a picture where the offender is has tried to make things right, I'd say they must have really p.o'ed the guildie to get a life time squelch, and only he/she can determine if it is warranted or not. Honestly though, if it's causing problems on raids it's something the guild leader needs to address and manage.

I squelched a guildy once. Far as I know he squelched me in return (which makes it awkward when we end up in a group together by random chance). He was a [EXPLETIVE DELETED] which is why I squelched him, and I was a [EXPLETIVE DELETED] in response, which is likely why he squelched me. Eventually we both left the guild and, at least for me, are in better places now.

It is no big deal to squelch a guildy. It is like work, you don't like everyone at work do you? If you had the choice to permanently mute one person in your ears only would you not take that opportunity? I say go for it, no big deal, squelching them can certainly be a better option that listening to them, getting mad, and looking like an idiot when you reach a breaking point.

I tend to unsquelch people after a week or two.


One of the worst incidents I had that led to a squelching involved me leading a Shroud raid (Mod 6 days so it wasn't trivial), and someone didn't like my (non-exploit) strategy for round 4. (They wanted to use a different, but equally non-exploitative strategy that probably would have required 3 passes and a couple mana pots but was strategically solid). Despite us beating round 4 in 2 passes (good back then for a PUG) and with 0 deaths; this person deliberately caused a wipe in part 5 to grief us.


I (and most of the raid) /squelched the player - but a month or less later I unsquelched them and would be happy to group with them again - we all have our bad days when something rubs us the wrong way & we take it out on someone in-game we disagree with. (I wasn't blameless either)

I doubt it. So vague even I don't know what the OP is talking about. I will say I know the OP, and I know a lot of the stuff they do rubs some people the wrong way. Nothing he does bugs me...but I'm a pretty easy going person.

Talk to an officer - see if they can help you resolve it. If that fails, then do whatever works for you (ignore it, don't group with them, find a new guild, etc.). At the end of the day, the only thing you can control is your own choices.

Not sure what the purpose of this thread is...selfish attention or desire for serious advice to your vague story? Either seem like poor judgement on your part and maybe an example of the things you do that annoy certain people.

Just sayin.

No one else but that guildie wants the item, but, you put the item for auction on the AH. Being that it wasn't really soemething the squelchee needed, they did not buy it and did not consider buying it because they felt the Squelcher was bashing his/her feelings. So, the weapon sat on the AH until it expired. The weapon wasn't really nice anyway considering that Shroud weapons were better in all ratings (and this was mod 8).

Whatever the Squelcher did was because of something the squelchee had done way back in mod 4 or a little after the server-merge before they even were a guildie of the Squelcher and they have no recollection of what it was they even did. The guildie that recieved the squelch was basically a casual gamer and new to the game (and all MMOs) at the time. The squelchee tried to use logic, appology, and the greater good to attempt to reason in mod 8+9 to get unsquelched so all can benefit from better communication. It's not like the individual would be getting any kind of item, or reward of item value from being unsquelched. The squelchee is always respectful of others and treats everyone right, but at times did do minor things others might not have agreed with.

In my opinion, it would benefit any parties and/or raids if all members could see/hear what the others were saying. It's not like any offensive language or poor behavior resulted in the squelch which the guildie in question recieved from another. The guildie that is squelched acknowledges that some of the newbish behavior may have caused it, since they were a very casual gamer during the time period they received the squelch, but if that was ~5 mods ago (prior to mod 5, or about 2-3 years ago), people change. Can anyone honestly say that they play/act the same as when they first started playing a DDO (especially if it was their first experience playing an MMORPG)? Can anyone say that they act 100% the same with others and do 100% of all their actions from 3 years ago as a person in general? It would be a positive move if all needless and senseless grudges which hold no current merit could be dropped.

I know a lot of people do have a forgiving attitude, and if someone is extremely insulting and offensive, or rude, they probably deserve a squelch.

Should a guildie ever squelch another guildie for any reason instead of trying to mutually resolve differences or put aside any of their past mistakes?

The fight has nothing to do with loot. I know I am completely right when I say it is wrong for anyone to keeping someone squelched if it is over a trivial matter such as an issue with a playstyle or a 2 year old forum post. They could at least say what the problem was. If there is a fight against anything it is a fight of ideologies, and I know I am right. Keeping someone squelched over a trivial matter is immature and childish.

I may have a more descriptive post on Yahoo Answers! asking anyone internet user's opinion on whether it is right for someone to keep another individual blocked instead of trying resolve a conflict... then again, I may not.... ;)

Why the only person who should be giving instructions in a raid is the leader. Also if its a guild run 99% chance no instructions are needed.

Why was I squelched in the first place? Care to enlighten me so I remember?

· Whenever anyone is giving something away in guild or group you ask for it and have no problem taking it over others who might need it. I know things that are given to you end up immediately in AH.

· You constantly talk about your loot, or character achievements, give random facts about things you've done in game that are of no interest to anyone.

· You post LFM's for dungeons you are incapable of running and rely on people who join to do them for you.

· You constantly go AFK w/o notice and mysteriously come back just as everything is finished.

· You lack the ability to take directions.

· You've often been the catalyst in party wipes.

· Senseless posts on DDO forums that draw negative attention to yourself and anyone connected to you.

· LFM's that draw negative attention to yourself and anyone connected to you.

· Squelching you in inconsequential and doesn't affect gameplay at all, simply because you bring nothing to the table.

These are the reasons, there was not one single event that caused it.
Whenever you rolled a new toon I didn't squelch until you exhibited the same behavior and yet each one is squelched.

Furthermore, I don't understand why you care that I have you squelched or why you felt the need to post it here,
in a guild as large as ours you are bound to not get along with people,
if you can't accept this in the microcosm of DDO, then your going to have a rough time in life.

· LFM's that draw negative attention to yourself and anyone connected to you.

· Squelching you in inconsequential and doesn't affect gameplay at all, simply because you bring nothing to the table.

These are the reasons, there was not one single event that caused it.
Whenever you rolled a new toon I didn't squelch until you exhibited the same behavior and yet each one is squelched.

Furthermore, I don't understand why you care that I have you squelched or why you felt the need to post it here,
in a guild as large as ours you are bound to not get along with people,
if you can't accept this in the microcosm of DDO, then your going to have a rough time in life.

How wrong you are. I usually don't ask for anything that if offered up and if I do I only ask for what would benefit me. I've given away tomes I could have used but decided to share. I usually am not the catalyst of party wipes. 99% of all the parties I have been in were successful. I am a keen listener witha good sense of directions, which is evident by my many awards in real life and my quick ability to learn in MMOs. When I was a power gamer I brought more to the table than you ever did. I never go afk without giving notice, you are confusing me with another player that quit. I can't mention the name without violating TOS. I usually don't give random facts, I do on occassion to brag of achievements.

nooooooooooooo..........

don't really quit, where will we get our drama?


Ever since the forum post a few years back about wanting to start my own collection which I have longsince abandoned, I was the center of drama. I was kicked out of TES because I was a noob and didn't know much about MMOs. I was expelled from the IFV during mod 4 because I looted a +3 Int Tome from reaver (it was the time when the raid loot system was modified). I was expelled from IS during Mod 5 when I was told by one high up officer that I focused too much on Shadow Crypt runs and the necro quests. I have been squelched because of my old forum posts, my playstyle, and trivial matters, and because I politely accussed someone of insulting me when it was only meant as a joke. I have my characters slandered. I don't want a collection any longer because it holds no more value for me and because I am a casual gamer, the grind is too intense here. I have been planning to leave for awhile, and after all the modifications in game, and major life changes, its time I quit. The grind system is more like work and its all old for me. It's time I left and found a new MMO that will grant me a new start, and give me a sense of excitement. It's grown stale for me here and a longterm history I can not shake away, which is why I thought I'd give the basic drama history and leave with a bang.

I'd like to congratulate all the enemies I have made over my time playing and tell them they won't have to deal with Tropica any longer. I'm quitting for good and you can rely on someone else for drama needs. It's not like I was having a lot of fun with the lag, grind, combined with my casual gaming, and lack of time to play anyway. The features of the game such as mailing, movement, chat system, and customization of appearance were the best features. The combat system was also above average. Though I am permanently quitting, it's not like I have been playing much in-game for the past 13 months. I wasted most of my yearly membership and don't intend to waste my time any longer. My subscription has been cancelled and I don't intend to ever log in again. I have my pick between 40+ other MMOs, and I'll be trying out many of them to test their features, see the personality of their player base, and see if I like the atomosphere.

By the way, the only server I ever played on was Thelanis. I would have gone to Ghallanda or Sarlona if I was still a power gamer but I made up my mind to quit for good.

You might not have agreed with everything I have done throughout my time here but I sincerely wish everyone the best of luck.

I guess I wanted closure before I permanently left and I feel obtained it.

The fight has nothing to do with loot. I know I am completely right when I say it is wrong for anyone to keeping someone squelched if it is over a trivial matter such as an issue with a playstyle or a 2 year old forum post. They could at least say what the problem was. If there is a fight against anything it is a fight of ideologies, and I know I am right. Keeping someone squelched over a trivial matter is immature and childish.

I may have a more descriptive post on Yahoo Answers! asking anyone internet user's opinion on whether it is right for someone to keep another individual blocked instead of trying resolve a conflict... then again, I may not.... ;)

Wow, you call someone childish because they don't like you and don't want to listen to you. Then you come here to whine they don't like you, and when people don't back you, go whining on yahoo answers? Who is being childish again?

If I was an officer in your guild (and please tell me you aren't in my guild) I'd be voting for your removal right now for your attempt to publically embarrass yourself this way. It doesn't sound like you are a fit for your guild anymore.

The only thing I learned from my experience here is that there is a lot of intolerant players and cliques. I have been playing other MMOs that have solo play and group play and find that I enjoy them more. Nothing was my fault and it never was. Everything I did angered someone but I let a lot of things slide when I was angered.

I was expelled from TES because I was new to MMOs and did not know a lot about chat systems. I was expelled from TES in mod 3 for not using guild chat as much as I should have and after I was expelled, and it was explained to me, I had no problems using chat. All it shows is an intolerance to a new player to both a casual player of DDO and a first-timer to MMOs.

Wishsong expelled me from IFV because I looted a +3 Int Tome from Reaver in Mod 4. How many times have other people looted tomes when it would have benefited other members more? It was only a major issue when I did it.

Durrack Expelled me from IS in mod 5, being backed up by Aceita because I tended to focus a lot on loot runs in the Necro and Invaders, and said I had playstyle issues. How many other people did a lot of loot runs to get items they needed? Back in mod 5 an arcane could kill the air eles a lot faster than now, so of course there wasn't always be something that needs to be done every moment in reaver.

Gaxpar had problems because of my forum post about trying to form a collection. Forming a collection has offensive label on it. But apparently it offended Doctorwhofan and Gaxpar, and a lot of others.

My LFMs I put to show I soloed quests and wanted to get extra chances at a named item I needed or extra ingredients angered other people. Tygre got help with looting the Eldricht Runes and it was ok. When I asked for help with trying to get named items or ingredients after soloing the entire quest, and giving free loot and end reward, I am criticized.

I was squelched by Bunk even after I appologized for politely accussed him of making an offensive comment towards me. No idea why I squelched for politely asking if a statement was offensively directed toward me. Even more so after I finished appologizing for the polite accusation.

These are some some of the situations of my time at DDO. All of which I was singled out in and targeted. I am not at fault in any of the situations. If anyone is at fault it is anyone who took things the wrong way or always want to have control. There were also game imbalances to help add to the issues in question such as loot imbalances.

I Included actual names with the intention of being banned incase anyone points it out. I found other games which have no lag, a more open and accepting play base, less grinding, and better graphics. The other games support single and group makeup. So I am happy to be leaving.

Well if you THINK you have 100+ friends you don't know what friends are. People who friend you on FB or who you go to the same party with are not friends.

And if your sig is talking about how your value is set based on your teachers opinion of you... well.... it speaks to either a lack of self confidence or a "no honest, some people like me" claim which ususally means its not true anyway. It's just very odd to put that sort of rather weak brag in a sig.

You need to look at YOUR actions... You're rubbing people the wrong way... It's a pattern that repeats over and over. Don't get depressed or sad about it... This is just the Internet, and you'll never see these people again...

But LEARN from it... Truly look at yourself. Next MMO, really try to put other people first... don't brag... listen more... Everyone has room to grow... Understand that you ARE at fault, so learn which behaviors to not repeat...

This can be a good experience for you, if you learn something from it...

Good luck to you... Ten years from now, you'll look back at all this and laugh a little (and cringe a little - I know I do when I think about the silly things I said when I was young).

You have no idea what you are talking about.

Thanks so much for adding me into this really GREAT(caps = sarcasim) thread and all, but you don't have the foggiest. If you are going to tell a story about me or anyone else, at least get the story straight first before you spell it out for all to see.

So, I'm sitting here at Jury duty, bored out of my mind. I come on over to one of the computers available to the jurors to see what's going on in ddo land. Lo and behold, more drama...

If this isn't a primer for how not to be a good guildie or player, I don't know what is....

How anyone could be so clueless as to not GET IT after being expelled from numerous guilds, I have no idea.

To be constantly seeking validation by posting this kind of drivel on the forums and other sites (namely Yahoo, and probably only posting your side of the story), is PATHETIC.

The way you present yourself here and on your lfms to me is : Weak minded, Selfish, Self Centered, Pathetic, Emotionally Needy, Moronic, and overall Lame.

For the love of all that's sane, Just Leave.

That is your opinion which you are entitled to have. The only thing I have to say about that is it is completely off. Due to the complete inaccuracy of your comments, I will not waste my time typing up backup additional comments for this response.

Nice confusing OP.... you are having a squelch and loot fight with a guildy? tell your officers to get their butt in gear to solve this. Either you need to make nice or one of you needs to go.

I agree...

why in the world would anybody group with someone they had squelched? it doesnt matter why the squelch happened or who's fault it is, if someone on my "dont play with" list is in a party, im not.

The funny thing about this whole ordeal is the fact that there wasn't a fight at all, every time I saw the player or grouped with this player he found a way to irritate me. So I squelched him to avoid him, he's the only guildie I've ever squelched and maybe 1 of 5 people on the server that I've squelched. He didn't even know that he was squelched for more than a year, he found out 6 months ago (Because I offered free loot in chat and didn't see his response) and then recently he started this thread here (and Yahoo?).

Why he cares? I don't know. (He/She may have a mental issue?)

Squelching him/her was only an attempt so save myself a headache, which it did for awhile.

The only thing I learned from my experience here is that there is a lot of intolerant players and cliques. I have been playing other MMOs that have solo play and group play and find that I enjoy them more. Nothing was my fault and it never was. Everything I did angered someone but I let a lot of things slide when I was angered.

I was expelled from TES because I was new to MMOs and did not know a lot about chat systems. I was expelled from TES in mod 3 for not using guild chat as much as I should have and after I was expelled, and it was explained to me, I had no problems using chat. All it shows is an intolerance to a new player to both a casual player of DDO and a first-timer to MMOs.

Wishsong expelled me from IFV because I looted a +3 Int Tome from Reaver in Mod 4. How many times have other people looted tomes when it would have benefited other members more? It was only a major issue when I did it.

Durrack Expelled me from IS in mod 5, being backed up by Aceita because I tended to focus a lot on loot runs in the Necro and Invaders, and said I had playstyle issues. How many other people did a lot of loot runs to get items they needed? Back in mod 5 an arcane could kill the air eles a lot faster than now, so of course there wasn't always be something that needs to be done every moment in reaver.

Gaxpar had problems because of my forum post about trying to form a collection. Forming a collection has offensive label on it. But apparently it offended Doctorwhofan and Gaxpar, and a lot of others.

My LFMs I put to show I soloed quests and wanted to get extra chances at a named item I needed or extra ingredients angered other people. Tygre got help with looting the Eldricht Runes and it was ok. When I asked for help with trying to get named items or ingredients after soloing the entire quest, and giving free loot and end reward, I am criticized.

I was squelched by Bunk even after I appologized for politely accussed him of making an offensive comment towards me. No idea why I squelched for politely asking if a statement was offensively directed toward me. Even more so after I finished appologizing for the polite accusation.

These are some some of the situations of my time at DDO. All of which I was singled out in and targeted. I am not at fault in any of the situations. If anyone is at fault it is anyone who took things the wrong way or always want to have control. There were also game imbalances to help add to the issues in question such as loot imbalances.

I Included actual names with the intention of being banned incase anyone points it out. I found other games which have no lag, a more open and accepting play base, less grinding, and better graphics. The other games support single and group makeup. So I am happy to be leaving.

Wow! Don't let the door hit you in the rear on your way out.

Politely Accused would be something like "Did you mean that as offensive to insult me?"
Note that there is no vulgar terminology anywhere in that accusation. That is a politely accusation.

I think its safe to assume that. It all goes back to 3 years ago when my former posts gave insult to people for no reason. You see I'm so uber that they got jealous.

See that's still a rude way to ask the question because it includes an accusation. Accusation is never polite. You can accuse someone, which is agressive by definition, or you can politely ask someone what they meant by a comment. You took the rude path.

I can see interpersonal relationships are hard for you based on this and based on being kicked from 3 guilds and not understanding you might have a part in it. Keep working on it and I'm sure you will learn to understand people better.

Hey Pheona, ever hear the saying "the only common factor in all your dysfunctional relationships is you"? You should give it some thought. Seriously. Oh, and Lorien is right. There is no such thing as a polite accusation. Your behavior is rude and childish.
