| Game Change: Report As Spam | Started by: Squishy on Aug 26, '09 22:03 |
|
We have added a new anti-spam measure in our mail system. If someone sends you a mail containing a web address, you will have the ability to report it as spam. This is a user driven system - multiple spam reports will result in the system locking that player out of their account. The higher ranked the reporters are, the less reports necessary to trigger the lock out. You should only use the Report As Spam button when it is infact advertising spam. Advertisements to other games, penis enlargement, viagra, fake rolexes and YOU WON A FREE PS3 SLIM type mails are the ones we are targeting. Not mails sent by Bob asking for a witness statement, or Joe saying your mom is fat. This system depends on you, the users, to be honest. False reports in order to get someone in trouble that is undeserving will result in equally harsh consequences. If we all use this system as designed, we can all take part in removing the problem users quickly before they make a much bigger nuisance of themselves. Thank you all in advance for your help in keeping this game spam free. |

Verrrry nice addition, which will hopefully cut down on the number of mails HelpDesk gets every time some spammer gets on the loose. (Although I've already almost pressed the spam button several times by accident. That'll take some getting used to. :P ) |

I would think not since he is in character. An annoying one at that, but I don't think that's the kind of spam that should get you locked out. |

Good addition, i know people want others to join there game, but randomly just asking anyone isn't the way to go about it. "Make friends" then ask them if they would join in the game. I've already used this one, i didn't think i would ever get two and then some guy just spams me then and there, maybe he was testing it. :P |
