Turn off /ooc, perhaps it will discourage the spammer from coming into the game - even though his number and address have been disclosed.

So all new comers to the server should turn off ooc when some dude spams with erotic novels? So we should totally forget about ever using ooc because of one spammer? So we shouldn't fix what is broken?

Be sure to let the young kids and old men who play this server know about your fix too. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I wouldn't be opposed to a level 5 limit on sending tells and OOC. There's already code support to allow for this in EQEmu.

Would just be a matter of wanting to, which now we have a reason to do so.

You want OOC disabled for everyone so you dont have to read it.

But you cant disable it for yourself because then your being forced to give up OOC because of others and that is not fair.

Makes perfect sense!

I suggest we put a throttle on the frequency of messages to any global channel (maybe 1-2 minutes? based on character? account? IP? Whatever works?), so that way if WallOfText appears, its only ONE wall every so often as opposed to whatever the channel/server spam limits are.
