Therian Saga

These are some ideas that were given in global. I take no credit for these ideas, and don't remember who the credit is due to, but wanted to post them here anyways.

Auto mute anyone who is ignored enough times within a certain duration of time. For example; 100 ignores within one hour.

Ghost mute; They get muted, but text still goes through on their screen. That way they don't even know their muted, and don't know they need to switch out characters/accounts.

I believe the person gave one other idea, but I don't remember what it was. I think with these two it will help greatly, though. Probably also lighten the load on the mods, too.

Great suggestions, but for the ignore I think 20 in one hour is more than enough to spot a spammer.

One more thing would be: more moderators, on Loucantar I only know MamieNova and I think there should be more of them ( I asked to be moderator on this server, will see if I get it). There should alway be one moderators online to keep an eye on the chat.

New idea that I just had: a general /votemute (Name) or /voteban (Name) that everyone can do and if it have enough vote, the designed person will be muted definitely.

(sorry for the mediocre english, I hope you understand everything ^^)

Thanks for the ideas, I transfer them to devs

The cooperation between the players and the team begins to bear fruit, their reappearance rate has dropped greatly: D
- Big thanks to all of you, players ♥ -

We can also hope that the game is not profitable on their side so that they do not take the time to modify their bots and look for other games;)

With the intelligence level of the players in this type of game, I highly doubt anyone has actually gone to those sites. It's just annoying to ignore a new person every couple hours.

I used 100 in one hour as an example because there are some with enough characters they could abuse that ability with any less. I, for one, could easily ignore someone 20 times in one hour. I may have even already done it once or twice. I wouldn't want someone getting muted just because I didn't like them.

The vote-ban is also a pretty good idea. It should definitely send a report for review, though. In case there are attempts to abuse it. We don't want our actual players being banned. This could be done with fewer than the 100 in an hour, too. I can just ignore the people I don't like, but vote-ban anyone that is actually a threat.

I think they are being very careful with who they grant moderator status to. You get some pretty powerful abilities with that. Don't want to give power to someone who isn't mature enough to handle it.

In the mean time, could /ignore be made to work for all chars on account not just one? That would help a bit too.

Spam bots have only one character on each account. To have a second one, you have to buy a Crossing, and they never pay. They don't have the BC and the money they claim to sell

I meant my account. I wish that single /ignore on any char worked for all my chars on the account.

" I wish that single /ignore on any char worked for all my chars on the account."
please do this
also requiring in game progress for access to chat is usually a good method of deterring this kind of thing

Getting off hope island lol

Perhaps shadow ban anyone who posts identical messages within a given amount of time, or anyone who posts the same URL in consecutive messages.

Just do few things:
- mute all newbies whos not left first island - harder to make bot character for spamming
- mute all chats for 1 hour with simple patterns (must be rewieved by moderators) in this case mute chars with text "tuuuut.com"
- enable 24 hours character deletion period for account, not instant delete but timed at 24 h - more painfull to make more bot chars.
well.. the more pain, the more "not worth" any more to make bots

Make a captcha, that must be entered as part of character creation. I hate captchas, but I hate scammers more. I also really like the idea of requiring in game progress to chat, but what if someone has a question while they're still on Hope Island?

I think the "voting" system suggested in the first post would work quite well.

If a player receives enough in-game "complain" (could be /ignore or could be a new command like /report <character_name> <reason>), the player will be automatically muted. Virtys can review the reasons why a character is being reported, and the player can appeal his/her case (but I doubt spammer will appeal). And I think the chance that many players will abuse this "spam" reporting system will be low.

On a related note, clicking a name in chat should bring up a menu with options to whisper or ignore said person. This would make it easier to ignore and also prevent the miss clicked whisper that we've all made!

Click to ignore would be amazing. Since they like to have names like "asdfkjha" and "dkfhweirr"...

Is it possible to do that in Silverlight?

a ignore feature would be very handy to have
