I actually like Spud's idea a lot...



This way noobs can post their questions and get their answers, but it cripples the spammers.

I don't think this solves everything, but it sure would solve most of it right away.

This.

I was going to write a more sophisticated spam prevention, but as a quick fix, what do you guys think of.. chars under level 5, 3 messages per minute?

Sounds about right, I like Spud's /auc /ooc once every 30 seconds idea under level 5. not much different than 3 a minute, but yea..

Personally I'd be pretty happy with 1 message in ooc every 30 seconds for EVERYONE.. It should be used as a utility for grouping/selling/porting/etc. due to low population, not drugs/religion/9/11/Rogean's mom.

Sounds good to me.

I think that sounds like a good compromise. If a new person has questions, more than 3 per minute seems like a luxury more so than a necessity.

I would have no issue with a rate limit with all people within OOC (and tougher restrictions below level 5). It would still allow auctions to take place (sorry 8 line auction spams), group finding, question answering and all sorts of fun stuff that the global ooc/auction is used for. It would cut down on the channel being used as a global social channel (I would welcome that).

One alternative system could include the limited chat rate with an exception if you have a character above XXX level on the account.

Sounds perfect for a quick fix, which is what we desperately need.

We can then see how it flies, and discuss longer term measures as needed.

EDIT -> Of course, this would be needed for BOTH /ooc and /auction.
