Author Topic: Zapk Spamming  (Read 12720 times)

So you basically shot someone to prove that their bulletproof armor didn't work?
Ooh, damn I like that metaphor.

I did it as a showcase because Ostinyo wanted to see the bug.
I can understand this, but then why were you vote kicked?

It was literally me showing Ostinyo how his team chat was broken. If I were actually hurting anyone he would have banned me.
yeah i kicked somebody in the balls to show them their cup didn't work
is telling him it's broken seriously beyond your mental capacity?

He's already apologised, calm down dude.

Zapk went full idiot on this one, "Showcasing a bug" hah.
Why didn't you just say it was broken?
And didn't getting kicked, you know... 3+ times give you the mental message to stop?

Also Its not Zapk only, it was Party at my house, TreeAtmos, and 1/4 of the players i didn't mention.
23 players total, Outpact mentioned 3 people (1/4, 3*4=12)
12/23 people were spamming. More than half the server was spamming, but ZapK is the one getting stuff on.

Except he didn't shoot anyone, he used a script to spam chat for a minute to truly show Ostinyo his teamchat was broken. The server title is "Ostinyo's Challenge!" So one may assume it was an obstacle-course type server (I didn't go, so I'm guessing here.) That being said, teamchat would not be a necessity, so that could easily be overlooked by Ostinyo. If you can name one player that was harmed by ZapK, then I apologize for questioning you on the matter, but honestly that's kinda silly.
the harm is that you along with other handicaps flooded people's screens and annoyed them

Are we not all aware of the bug now?
Because he was bored, wanted to see how script would function in chat, and because honestly, if someone told me something on my server was broken, I wouldn't remember to fix it. You can't really forget something when someone breaks it right in front of you.
He did what, in those circumstances, a spammer would do: not be deterred by a kick, and continue on doing it. Look at the TTT players (who are still around anyways,) kick them and they'll come RIGHT back and get back into it. Kicking isn't an effective means to stop a spammer, and he proved that point


If an admin had asked him to stop, and he blatantly ignored the admin and continued to spam, and his spam was somehow hurting the game in some way, then yeah I would think ZapK really needs to think about what he's doing a little better.
But from what I can tell, he wasn't asked to stop, and he wasn't hurting anybody.

i don't like it when people use the "it was late" card because i can stay up to the early hours of a day and i still function as i would at 12 noon

and what if people want to see the chat and not have to see him be a sperg suddenly for no real reason? depending on how fast he was doing this for and how fast it took to kick him I doubt anyone would be fast enough to do that

I can understand saying that everyone was spamming and getting upset that Zapk is being complained about, but again, as Abstath said, he still spammed nonetheless. Spamming is spamming no matter what, even if other people are doing it. Everyone was being an idiot here. Zapk could have just told Ostinyo that there was a bug, not start spamming like everyone else. I'm sure your dad or teacher has told you that 'if everyone was jumping off a cliff, would you go too.' Same thing here. Zapk shouldn't have spammed just to show that a bug was prevalent. I'm sure Ostinyo could have seen that before Zapk used that script to spam. Which leads to another thing. Why did he do it at all, especially using a script that was, from what I can gather, a script that spammed things. And more importantly, why did he have or create it at all?! If you're going to say, 'Oh, well he was using the script to show that team chat was broken, he already said that!' then why was he votekicked? Twice? If Ostinyo really wanted to see Zapk show that the team chat was broken, he would have stopped the votekick. But still, Ostinyo probably would have realized that team chat was broken long before that.
tl;dr: Zapk shouldn't have continued to spam even if he was supposedly showing off the broken team chat, which Ostinyo should have already figured out was broken.

He's using a script that got people revoked.

People tried to kick him because he was spamming, I'm sure that means he was harming people right??

Oh forget off, no one should change their settings just so a spammer can ''continue to point out flaws''
/votekick ZapK
Later in your post you say kicking doesn't help, try again.
He did what, in those circumstances, a spammer would do: not be deterred by a kick, and continue on doing it. Look at the TTT players (who are still around anyways,) kick them and they'll come RIGHT back and get back into it. Kicking isn't an effective means to stop a spammer, and he proved that point
So you're endorsing spammers to just keep on spamming even if it's ruining the players game experience?? Nice one.
If an admin had asked him to stop, and he blatantly ignored the admin and continued to spam, and his spam was somehow hurting the game in some way, then yeah I would think ZapK really needs to think about what he's doing a little better.

Ah okay so the votekick doesn't mean anything now?
It happened for a reason, forget off and stop defending him when for using this stuff mod.
People didn't want him to spam thus votekicked him.

i must be a very special boy then

Lame excuse again

Take a break from stupid for one day.  He apologized, he doesn't need to grovel.

OT: Was this a chat bot or was it random keyboard punching?
