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?

You nailed it IMO. Its just the select few that don't care about getting banned. Instead of removing a very important tool for our new comers, lets just focus on removing the idiots and not everyone.

lol =p its not...but i'd be wrong if i was to say i dont occasionally enjoy reading it / using it (mostly for groups but sometimes it is funny to see what the people have to say)

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?

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?!

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...

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.

lvl 20 is way too high me thinkgs.. but id say be lvl 2 or 3 for OOC sounds good to avoid those spammers

guineapig · #8 02-18-2010, 04:11 PM

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.

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.
