/squelch remove?

[Slink]

After reading that other thread that is showing some potential after starting all /vomit, I have a question.

Do any of you ever decide to /squelch remove <name> if you think the person in the group may need direction?

I am torn on this subject and am looking for advice one way or another.
See, sometimes I think that maybe they might need the assistance of communication in both directions.
After all, if they have been on the list for a long time, maybe they have become better players (lol, yah right) or maybe even seeing past all the BS just so you can get back on timer.

On the other hand, maybe since they made the list, it would be better to just watch them wallow in self destructive behavior.
I have had to have non-squelched members transfer data during quests/raids and it is not fun when the middleman says, "he says youre an assbag".
This has fringe benefits of potential drama here on the forums, i.e. "that squelched bastage did it again GD it!!"

So, is /squelch add <name> a good thing or a bad thing.
This obviously has implications here on the forums, but what about ingame?

Discuss.

Someone tell Slink that I am getting better and would like for him to talk to me again.

If someone does something obviously and blatantly stupid, which causes us to fail then /squelch add <name>. If someone just won't stop talking and is making leading the quest/raid a pain, /squech add...but if someone just doesn't know what they're doing but is willing to except advise, /advise on.

I usually use it for disruptive party members or people that I know just don't pay attention and make the same mistakes twice...oh and 7 year olds.

...and sometimes stainer

I can't help it, it's all Rick's fault! He makes me lose focus EVERY TIME!

[Daggaz]

I save it for people I _never_ want to hear from again, and only these people, so I never have to worry about adding them again. If they make my squelch list, I wouldn't spend a nanosecond reconsidering the decision later down the road.

Ran with a guy today, sounded like he cooked his own crack on his trailerpark trash stove, and he would not shut up. When he started getting racist, he made my squelch list easy peasy. Quest ran smooth as silk after that. Leader laughed when I told him to tell me if they rogue ever does say anything useful, as I had squelched him..

Squelching people inhibits drama.

Slink, you should know better. I may have to stop by and collect your drama card if you keep this up.

I am constantly squelching and unsquelching people, usually guildies. XD

[dakkon75]

Funny as I read this thread I start to wonder how many people have me squelched.

Hmmmmmm......hope not many as if they do they will not get their much needed drazintheirpants.

[Aussieee]

Oh you gotta be smart about this now I squelch people but if I have them in party I unsquelch so I can see what is happening. Just pretend you still have them on squelch Later at end of quest add them again. It's so entertaining

[Aussieee]

Nm this.

Player X has been on my list for quite some time, think it was because he did something dumb in VON6.

So, a few days ago i put up an LFM for VON6.
Its filling slow, and one of my party members says "XXX says he wants to join but is getting auto declined."

I think - Hmm, its been some time maybe he's learnt something and changed, what the hell i'll let him in."

Fast forward to part 6 - I've told the group several times clearly in both voice chat and party chat to NOT move through the gate or even to stand close to it when the doors open.

I assign myself to 2nd base and a couple other to first and third.

After we down the pillars and the gates, open, i run back, and see the screen shake.

I check my map, and it is that exact SAME player, who i just removed from my squelch list.

He was the guy that ran in first.

/squelch again.
Drop group, reform.

*sigh*

At least the 2nd run always goes fine

I squelch people because they:
1. are so loud that my ears won't stop bleeding.
2. are annoying.
3. are whiney.
4. are ultra -noobs AND critical of other players at the same time.
5. do not reject me from a join request and leave me hanging in limbo for...
6. do reject me but leave the LFM up for DPS for several more minutes.
7. spam the tradechannel with sale information on gear that is not even good enough to vendor.
8. spam the advice channel with false information.
9. are under the age of 10 AND suffer from attention defecit...hey a kobold! I once saw a kobold and when I did I...disorder.
10. vomit words, sentences, and random irrelevancies into their microphones from the start of the adventure to the end of the adventure.

I UNsquelch people when I accidentally group with someone I squelched. Sometimes they do not earn a resquelch, other times, they get resquelched almost immediately.

This guy is an imposter! The real Draz supports Ham, not that pathetic chicken this one is using for an icon! Down with chicken, up with Ham!

[Saaluta]

Hmmm...looks like I'm going to have to move to Argo..only have 1 person on my squelch list...took him off for a raid, 5 minutes later, back on again

And no, it's not Slink, Draz or Infi, although 2 of them have come close a few times

i think at times i qualify for about 5 of these (no wonder you don't hear me sometimes... now i know!!!)

the only person i ever squelched had their mic not set to PTT - it was in IQ and he was very loud... and the whole party ended up squelching him! by the time we had done a couple of quests though he seemed to have read our written instructions and we all unsquelched him...

God, I hope I'm on SOMEBODY'S Squelch List!

If I'm not, I'm doing something wrong. This is Knyber after all.

[steelrock]

Follow your gut instincts. If someone suggests inviting a squelched player because they are OK, I would say remove them ASAP from your party. Simple minds think alike.
