Well, so far only one person is really complaining, and shadow said it was annoying... I wasn't on so i cant really judge, but, as has been said, if you didnt like it you can always put them on ignore. Also im not even sure if this is spam... i would have to see it for myself before i decided that...

1.) No, you're "spaming" the forum with it. Which is in contrast to the chat a permanent record and might as well influence more players since it is reachable 24/7.
2.) He is a mod alright. But I'm still not certain if this spam was so blatant that a mod really needed to interfer. I'm mainly hearing you complaining.


Making a single topic is not spamming the forum. The closest thing to spam in the forum lately is your triple post in this topic. How was it not blatant spam? Post the full script on the forums for people to see just how long it was.

We've monitored the mainchat for approx. 30 min before we started posting and there was no conversation besides "hello" & "good night". If we posted our program elsewhere ppl could have complained there as well. You just wanted us away from your place.


If you posted your "program" in the pub no one would of complained I guarantee it.

In this case, I guess it is RIP's mainchat as well. We blocked it for merely an hour. I think that amount of time is appropriate for an entire CV.


So you're saying each CV should rightfully have the main chat to themselves to spam for an hour?

I don't state that everybody loved it. But nobody makes such a scene as you do. What are you suggesting. Banning an entire CV for using main chat for some time for something you consider spam. Something we did for several eras. We always been like that and there always been adversaries (lovely pun) and I have the feeling you're just another one.


Are you really that dense? I clearly stated that I am suggesting stuff like your "program" belongs outside of main chat, such as in the pub or forum or convergence chat.

I'm talking about creative resistance. For example. Insult a member of RIP. You be surprised how fast you become a center of attention. You can be the shinning star in mainchat. Let yourself some room to build and then come up with something confusing like:
"And the RIPer never fitting, still is hitting, still is hitting. On the crying, praying noobie steped upon my islands floor. And his eyes have all the seeming of a loser that is cheating. And the stagelights show him bleeding. Lying by my strongholds door. And his squads fromout that shadow, shall be resurected. Nevermore.".


I don't want to play along I just want spam like your "program" off main chat. Also I am not looking for attention just simply a main chat that is actually moderated.

Only one person complaining on the forums, both shadow and sinister were not there when they did this. And as you know hardly anyone comes to these forums, there was more complaining in game. I guess next time I'll take some screenshots, but hopefully Meahuys will post his script so you can see just how much spam he and RIP threw into main chat. And there was like 6+ RIP members online spamming the chat with their script.

Yes i am a moderator, yes i was on, yes i didn't stop it - because there was a lot of thought behind this "spam" and i heard from many people that they missed those news stuff and other stuff from RIP, also i liked it.

thanks.

Also i can confirm that the mainchat was quite dead for the longest parts of the day, if you don't count hi, goodbye and complaining.

I wasn't there, and if you guys want to complain about something to the moderators you need proof. If stratege obviously wasn't going to do anything, take a screen shot, put that in a PM and send it to different moderators with your complaint. How many times do I have to say that? -_-

Seriously guys, don't bring your main chat fights into the forums. If you have a complaint, PM a Moderator WITH A SCREEN SHOT OF WHAT WAS HAPPENING. Otherwise nothing can be done.

Thread locked.
