Spam in /ooc and /auction

[Cscott]

lvl 4 isnt high enough, sad to do but the restrictions should be in place till lvl 8-10

Also, remove global ooc, solved.

One of the only possible solutions I can think of is just removing global chat for anyone below level 5.

Does it need to be 5? Hell, this is Classic EQ, if the limit was level 2 it means the rate goes down to once every 15+ mins, and would the spammer really bother to level a toon repeatedly just to spam?

My guess: yes.
Guy seems pretty dedicated already, I mean, correct me since I'm wrong, but doesn't he hafta make a new acco every time he gets banned?

tbh it would kinda suck if people under lvl 5 couldnt use OOC, thats actually the level range most people need help with things, so ooc is a nice place to ask for those things

A proper solution is no global chat, but a global 'channel' for chat and auctions.

I've found I get just as reliable replies when say, I want to know about a good druid camp at level 20, so I /who druid all, and /tell a level 50.

Most people who play on Project 1999 is an old pro anyway. Sure, there are newbies here and there, but the vast majority are highly capable who know this game very well and indepth.

I think that /ooc should be restricted to something like level 3 or 4....just low enough so that the spammer will still level a character to spam. That way every time I see it I can laugh about how much time he is spending to do this.

I mean right now it's still a decent amount of work for him so it's kinda funny but if it were even more than all the better.

As to people who are annoyed by it, just have /ooc and /auc in a separate window. I hardly notice it at all myself, and if I really want to read ooc or auc without the occasional block of "you love it" I have my font set to new times roman so I can read the name easily and ignore within 10 seconds.
