Spam in /ooc and /auction

[Malrubius]

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

why not just rate limit anyone under level 5 for the time being? Something like 1 message every 30 seconds.

it wont affect any noobs trying to ask questions in /ooc and will take care of Iyvvllvvllwllvv and Wvvwqggqyvvwlyv.

More sophisticated solutions can come later, but this would be pretty easy to implement id imagine.

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.

Leave it how it is for now imo and once we reach 800-1k peak, just remove it altogether.

Remove what? Global ooc? That won't help this anyway...and I don't think we should wait...

That person spams OOC because it is broadcasted throughout the whole game. He wouldn't bother if he was relegated to spamming 5 people in nektulos.

Are you mentally challenged (lol PC)?

Well, I am mentally aware enough to see that that person was not spamming OOC.

Sadly when it comes to the few who want to ruin it for the many, the many are still effected even though the changes are targeted to the few. The only real solution, which may not necessarily be the most practical, would probably involve someone having to monitor Chat. I'm sure the Admins, Dev's and Guides would rather spend their time making the game playable, than policing and booting problem players.
