/ooc fix

[Uaellaen]

oh yeah then the spamer needs to lvl to 5 every day to get rebanned!

im not sure if many of you played on servers that actually used the LFG tool but it was freaking awesome. OOC does not even compare.

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

Could anybody come up with a worse idea than to limit worldwide /ooc to lvl 20?

EQ was a rough game when we first started playing, and it's still a rough game after an 8 year break. There's a lot of questions newcomers have, and a lot of questions rusty vets have. You shut down /ooc, and you might as well say "Fuck you" to anybody who enjoys the game but finds it pointless when they can't get any help with the simple things that don't make sense if you haven't played. So do we want a lower population?

Beyond the silliness of the proposal, is it that hard to just turn off/ignore/not look at /ooc? Stop whining over irrelevant shit that while sometimes annoying, is extremely helpful, ESPECIALLY newcomers (which we want MORE of, not less).

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.

There's great fun in OOC? When the hell is this happening?

must have been when i was offline :s

Since presumably this is all about the idiot with the paragraph-long sex spams, why not just ban his IP address? Yeah, he may go log in from a friend's computer, then let's ban that one. Surely there would be a limit to how many IP addresses he could access for an online game?
