Will be taken care of.
Ok, i've cleaned up the Aden chat spam a little.
Remember to do trade chats ONLY in + chat and to not do it more often then 1-2 times a minute.
have you taken a look at the trade actually? cuz i gave up a long time ago looking at the + section cuz every message is being spammed over and over after few seconds
I'm chat banning ppl every day for 600 minutes and in some situations, 999 minutes, but they're just coming back the next day. They use trade bots and they keep them online non stop, so the ban chat is over in less then a day.
Can't do more then this, mby send them to jail, but it's a little too harsh, no?
im afraid this wont help... do u think ppl care if their trade bot will get 600min chat ban?
u should consider changing punishment to 1 day account ban - this should be very effective and would decrease spam to acceptable level
with such punishment ppl would start to care about it
now the situation is terribad, most of ppl dont even look at trade chat anymore bcuz its pointless, n/c about trying to shout anything

Yep, i already disabled it long time ago >.<
chat ban for a week might work as well
You can say whatever you want, but that's what you get for allowing lol trade bot and making lol rule "shouts only in + channel", before that shouts were less or more in both general and trade channels and it was way easier to notice what ppl are shouting or shout for yourself, since you could use + as ppl were not using it that much. So i'm still suggesting to either get rid of trade bot or this rule.
people just need to learn how to use it to not piss off others... 1 day ban would be cool "tool" to teach them
First of all, restricting the trade messages to "+" chat is a very good rule and i don't see how can anyone think otherwise.
Second, people are stupid. And i believe everyone can agree with me on this. If they would set up their messages to once a minute like the rules say, they would have way bigger chances for someone to notice their shout. The chat would actually be readable.
I'll talk to Shabaka about this and i'll suggest him not 1 but 3 days of account ban for chat spamming.
Edit: nevermind, 9999 minutes chat ban from now.
