The /OOC problem:

This whole thread is just asinine. The only problem the OP identifies is that the GM's don't enforce anti-spamming/anti-vulgarity rules for global ooc. If that's true (and somehow I doubt it) then the thread shouldn't be about limiting the use of OOC to once per minute, it should be about the GM's doing their job. If you think they aren't doing their job, prove it (screenshot people violating the rules, with timestamps, then show them still being allowed to use ooc at a later date, again with timestamps). Limiting it to once every minute isn't fair for the people who use OOC legitimately - I don't want to have to tab out to IRC every time I want to have a harmless conversation with someone.

Thats just hyperbole and exageration. I play alot these days and 97% of my time is played with no spam or racism in /ooc, just the occasional Kill fun shittalk and chitchat. This is not a problem right now.

97% of statistics are made up on the spot.

Keep on trucking/trolling, my point is still valid, the vast majority of the last week ive been playing EQ nonstop and 3 hours of spam / racism for 97 hours of no trouble is probably off by 1 or 2 hours

This is my main concern. Red99 "may" attract a higher proportion of scum then most server, but the whole "project99 classic" behind red99 also attracts decent, mature people who like EQ w/ the red twist.

Thats why ooc just cannot continue on like it has been, unmoderated and unrestricted.

Want to have a "conversation" with someone? Take it to tells, do it in guildchat, or get into their ventrillo (or get naked in skype with them for all i care).

/ooc once per min or so is way more then enough for wtb/wts, lfg, looking for port, etc.

Keep it Classic

Edit: actually /ooc once per min will HELP all the legit people useing it for legit reasons like wtb/wts, lfg, looking for port,etc. Because instead of a endless stream of nonsence and spam, /ooc will be more consise and to the point with legitimated in game messages that will get noticed, instead of drown in the KKK spam and trolltalk.

We need some sort of anti-flooding mechanisim in /ooc so all those noobs that need help/groups/wtb/wts can actually be seen and get noticed.

Its win/win all around.

Tehruoh and Malevz caught yet again using racial and anti-semetic slurs in global ooc and spamming it in general. Will Nihilum take the higher road and lead by example on this server by removing these members filled with hate and prejudice from their guild? Waiting eagerly to see how Nihilum acts. (P.S. Troriste has already said he endorses the racial and anti-semetic slurs in global ooc)

Step 1: Fix game breaking root/stun/blind resists to make them more in line with classic. Elemental / direct damage types don't seem horribly out of line like the above.
Step 2: Suspend for first infraction of racism / threats, ban (literally) for any next infractions esp in public channels.
Step 3: Hope Kunark is enough, don't grief off newcomers.

New group starts and "what really goes on" rears its ugly head once again.

There's no mystery anymore of what to do to get things rolling here. Kubark might be a last hope to start the fire again. See my above comments.
