nemafakei Posted April 26, 2002 Share Posted April 26, 2002 I know there are many of you who complain about cheating, hacking, etc. I do not condone it, and it is wrong.But that is no reason to bring it up in a discussion board about Emperor. Please do it either by IM, or elsewhere. I do not want this board turning out like the WW one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nemafakei Posted April 27, 2002 Author Share Posted April 27, 2002 I agree that the WW forums had a few bad members, and a few good ones... but the point remains that the persistent offenders are here and posting too often.Stop. Else Gob may take action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timenn Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 And just ignore the bad people. Sometimes it is hard I must agree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dar Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 posting too often.Stop. Else Gob may take action.Technically that isn't spamming. If I made 100 posts in an hour that were interesting to read then would I be warnned? or even banned? I'm sorry, but the way you said if you post too often you'll get in trouble, sorta ruins the community spirit.I do agree that spammers suck, but saying PUBLICly that if you post to much you'll get in hot water, sounds silly. I can see it now. Posters, huddled in the corner of a forum, by a light barrel. THeir eyes darting from left to right. Hoping that no-one noticed that they posted twice in one day.A forum is for discussing, helping out other people and generally being involved with a sort of community. And by saying this, it's almost like public censorship. I would of thought that this post would be better IM to the offending parties, as how sure are you that every single one of the spammers, you are aiming at, are gonna read this? Even if they did, there's no-way to prove it. A IM is alot better for this purpose, as it doesn't create the was of web space, and allow another topic for poeple to spam in.maybe I missed the point entirely (wouldn't surpirse me), but it's just the way you phrased it.

Acriku Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 There is no way to post 100 posts in one hour. There is a 60-second waiting time frame between every post. So you can only make about 59 or possibly 60 posts at the max in an hour. And do you really have time to read the posts on each thread and still respond to them in a minute?

Timenn Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 And needless posts, like 'yep' etc. are also spamming. And that counts also for starting needless topics. Like 'why do you hate me' etc.This isn't a chatroom. And that is what many people are still forgetting. It is asked so many times to stop, and those (who spam) still continue.

nemafakei Posted April 27, 2002 Author Share Posted April 27, 2002 What I meant was the people who spam, do so a lot. If posting a lot was a crime... I'd be pretty guilty too! Posting a lot is good it you contribute, but annoying and inconsiderate if you don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timenn Posted April 28, 2002 Share Posted April 28, 2002 Only Gob can ban. Good though, otherwise it would be a mess. But I can, ofcourse, gather the posts where there was spammed by someone, and show them to Gob... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemafakei Posted April 28, 2002 Author Share Posted April 28, 2002 The system you suggested is in place already...- Warning(s) by IM etc.- 1 week ban- Permanent ban.Although it varies according to the circumstances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante Posted April 29, 2002 Share Posted April 29, 2002 I wish I could understand all this....Are you using slang or code or am I just inexperienced? Will someone explain to me? Please? :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemafakei Posted April 29, 2002 Author Share Posted April 29, 2002 IM = Instant Message.Other stuff in the forum... slang is discouraged, but you'd have to give examples if you want a translation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timenn Posted April 29, 2002 Share Posted April 29, 2002 We were talking about what happens to people who spam (posting needless things, not one but dozens)First they get a warningThen they are banned for a week (that means they can't acces the forums for a week)And if it all not helps, then a permanent ban. You can never acces the forums ever. But the last happens only 2 times. So don't be afraid ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante Posted April 29, 2002 Share Posted April 29, 2002 Thanks a lot. You guys are the greatest. (Why is it known as spam? I know I'm just showing ignorance, but...lets just say I'm out of touch). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
