/ooc fix

[Slayde]

or instead of forcibly policing chat. maybe we can either be adults about it and deal with it, or just turn off OOC on your client. Why do people these days always need things to be done for them instead of doing it themselves?

This would prevent Spammers and thats about it.

people could not log in a lvl 1 named iwanttospamu and tell us real time roleplay stories that should be kept in the bedroom.

it would not stop idiots tho...

P.S. /ooc Are dark elfs in game yet...
/ooc How do I port to the nexus...

I am of two minds here.

I would personally love to see it however...
When I started out on this server OOC was a great help to me (granted ooc did not look in November like it does now).

It's still better than many ideas.

Ghesta brought this up in another thread, and I'm afraid a great idea is going to get buried in RnF drama, so I'm reposting this.

I dunno why nobody said this sooner, it's a rule pervasive throughout many mmo's and online games, and it has been shown to be a simple and effective way to filter idiocy.

This is a great idea, and I fully support it. I think if many people also support it, we may be able to get GM staff support. Please post your thoughts.

You realize when I said that I was being 100% sarcastic right? That would be an absolutely stupid thing to do. I have OOC and auctions in their own window. When it gets stupid, I don't look at that window.

Anyone who can't figure that out on their own deserves to get annoyed.

I help at least 5 or 6 people a day who ask (legitmate) questions in OOC. Why remove that?

If you REALLY want to stop OOC, then make it zone wide, not server wide. That way the noobs can still ask noob questions. But I see no problem with ooc other than the "sex spammer" who i toss on ignore within one or two seconds of his messages.

Not to disagree with you, however..
How often does this occur, and if it does, wouldn't /ignore take care of the problem?

I think the way OOC operates now is beneficial for the community, at least until their are plenty of people on the server to where it can be broken by zone.

oh, ya know... if you wanted to limit it to like.... level 3, that probably wouldn't be too bad... but not 10.

How dare you sir! Why should I have to click my mouse a few times to adjust the chat options and windows to my liking when I can try to get the devs to force things upon others? Who the hell do you think you are coming in here all high and mighty with your reasonable and fast solutions?!

They say that the exclamation most associated with scientific breakthroughs that change the world forever is not the "Eureka!" of the directed researcher, but the "Gee, that's funny!" of the accidental genius.

It'd be more appropriate to limit them to 4, because grinding through 3 is rough as a motherfucker.

No one will grind a character through 3 just to spam that bullshit.

Let's not punish legitimate players for the actions of the retarded.

[Scrubby McGee]

If ooc were limited to level 20, then all the spam would go into auction instead of ooc.

I honestly like having ooc being the default place for spam, so I have one easily filterable spam channel.
