Spam EC

[mattitude]

Anyone else getting tired of this over and over? When will this person get IP banned?

[Deliverator]

Apparently you don't understand how ip's work. ..

Replace ip with account and you got yourself a fair question.

Because you can't just make another account and keep spamming, oh wait...

[Rygar]

Hate to admit it, but in the early days spammers were classic as Hell when someone rage quit. This guy got banned and he spammed our server message board with porn for weeks.

Yeah apparently I don't. Sorry. My point was its just annoying. Not sure why me asking a question, turned into getting insulted.

Welcome to the kingdom of nerds on an elf forum.

Instead of either detailing what actually needs done (because clearly the nerds know,) they'd rather insult you even though the basis of your concern is valid and actually what should be recognized.

I agree with you, I also made a post yesterday and instead of being addressed on the forums or in the game, my post was removed and the spamming of EC and WFP continued all day.

I am sure this post will be removed too, btw. A little acknowledgment from the staff would be nice though, to know they are addressing it, or trying to.

This profanity laced spam is unacceptable, my virgin eyes can't read stuff like this. But seriously, it's bad and I hope they find a way to stop it.

There is no way short of locking someone in a cage to keep them from getting around any attempt to block them from spamming your servers. It isn't possible to sostop them, you can only discourage the less intent ones. Your ip will change if you disconnect your router for a few hours or if you call your is and request an ip refresh. You can change your mac address for free with a computer program or for $10 with a new network interface card. You can change you machine id by using a direct computer. I know this and I am a basic level user not a system admin or it professional... YouTube and reddit can help you get around just about anything

I made a level 1 druid named "cockmagic" the other day (pras Kustt) and Sirken summoned me and name changed me within 30 seconds of the character being created.

And not just porn, really gross tranny porn :( Not that any porn belongs here, but that stuff was awful.

I imagine they look for keywords on a special list whenever anyone creates a new character, and they pounce unless your name is something fantasy-like (eg. Feroicockitam). Now if only they would update that list with the 200 other most popular words that don't belong in character names ...

There's other ways to detect spammers besides just their IP.

because your question is spam

I agree with you

you are on a watch list

Not really. It takes all of ten seconds for me to type /ignore iillililillililliliggggqqgqgqgqg or whatever, and if you're bad at distinguishing your Is from your Ls you can always just copy the name from your logs which shouldn't take more than 15 seconds. I mean I exert more effort doing pretty much anything else in EQ, and sometimes the spam is kinda funny so I get a laugh out of it at least.

It was just a simple question, I just hadn't seen any other posts regarding this. That's all. I did not mean to offend anyone or upset anyone. My mistake and I'm sorry.

Don't apologize man, you did nothing wrong! Never concede to a pack of nerds, when they smell blood they go for the kill.

[loramin]

Don't apologize man, you did nothing wrong!

This forum has a sub-culture/forum known as Rants and Flames, and sometimes people that frequent that forum act the same outside of it as they do inside it. If you're not familiar with that sub-culture it can seem like a bunch of assholes attacking you for nothing ... which it is ... but once you get used to it you realize that it's only because their default response is "hostile", and it has nothing to do with you doing anything wrong.

The evolution of the spamquesting ragequiting permanent ip changing account registering psychopath in 5 easy steps.

Step 1: Join a gaming community with good intentions

Hey Everyone,

Been reading up on EQ a lot lately, making me miss the nostalgia of old school EQ.

Step 2: Start realising community is a little, strange...

It was just a simple question, I just hadn't seen any other posts regarding this. That's all. I did not mean to offend anyone or upset anyone. My mistake and I'm sorry.

Step 3: Start believing you are above parts of the community

Don't apologize man, you did nothing wrong! Never concede to a pack of nerds, when they smell blood they go for the kill.

Step 4: realize the entire community is terrible

Step 5: You have been greengrocered. Prepare to download IP software and learn how to use auto registration bots. NOW THEY'LL ALL PAY

you can tell by the profile pic alone, Loramin in stage 3 add the post and you can see he's dangerously close to stage 4

wow, what a gem of a meltdown, can't believe I missed that

Heh, I'm not quite sure being grossed out by trans porn makes me transphobic: I'm grossed out by hardcore S&M and scat porn, but I have nothing against people who enjoy hardcore S&M or scat. To each their own, just don't throw it into a gif and post it on my elf sim forum.

This has to be the funniest thing you've posted in awhile.

I already went to step #5 awhile back; I must be on step #7 or something at this point.
