Author Topic: Hell-on-earth spam in the Deathcube server  (Read 5624 times)

Chat mods in a nutshell ladies and gentlemen.

Your "warning" bans did not proove effective today. There has been spam for hours. When you're dealing with people like this you need to make a statement to them straight up and to the players of the server to show no stuff will be taken. Yes sometimes you come across as strict but the unfortunate truth is it works. Maybe you were not present the other day when I said this so I will say it again

Banning someone is like punishing a child, if the child misbehaves and receives little or no punishment they will not learn. If you are more strict with them the first time round they are more likely to learn that what they did was wrong and are less likely to do it again therefore you won't have to punish as often.

Danny, I never warning banned the spammers the OP mentioned, I cannot ban someone when I'm not on the server or even the computer. Those spammers were on before I was, I had no idea they were spamming until I saw this topic, and then they had left by the time I got on. Also, the two people that spammed while I was on and that I banned while you were there have not come back on and spammed again, even though the hour ban expired awhile ago. Please get your facts straight with me before posting stuff about how my bans are not working.

Did you know you can see anyone who has connected recently from the "clear bricks" admin menu? And you can even ban them from there!

Yes, I do know about that feature. But the point here is that I wasn't even on the computer when this occurred, Danny seems to be implying that I was, that I warning banned them and it didn't work. Please correct me if I'm wrong Danny.

To be fair, it's mostly the servers fault, considering it's running an add-on that lets you do that.

Someone reported this for victim blaming, and on the one hand I agree - you shouldn't blame the victim.  But on the other hand why are you dumbforgets constantly overwriting my perfectly good chat script with this amateur hour garbage?  This is not possible in the default chat.  Just leave it alone.

If anyone wanna ban him: ID 16362

Because apparently local chat, time stamps, color changes etc. are worth turning your chat into a ticking time bomb of spam.

If you make a stupid custom chat then atleast strip out the ml control chars and add flood protection

Nobody changed the chat at all. It was the handicapped /me mod.
