Gold sellers spam

Postby milordas » Sun 02 Apr 2017, 11:08

sounds like,developers, you need to add some code to check for repeating text in chat to fight those pesky annoyng chat spam from gold sellers.. as i see it uses almost the same pattern except last few letters

Hello, it's not really always the same repeating letters, and we won't block "normal" name* ;) And if they can't named them "hdfhdf", they just will write hdffdh". Better things to do is contact us :D ingame moderators, support (support@virtys.com), forum.

@Celine milordas is talking about message content not char name. I agree, please add some frequency or url check to stop at least these most disruptive ones early.

For now, he is the first scammer we got. We will be vigilant and we will look into a permanent solution. But every filtre can be bypassed.

Thank you for reporting him and we will block him everytime he is reported to us.

Inevitably, as a community grows larger, there will be a few bad actors joining. Scams like this exploit greed, which all of us have to some degree. The post office here warns, "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is". It's a cliché, but it might just save your money.
Gentlemen! You can't fight in here!! This is the War Room!

Hello,
We can adapt the filter when we feel it's needed. We just did it. It might take a few minutes before the changes become effective.

Hello.

We won't mute all chars in the first island. Some players have question when they are there.
And bots don't delete characters. They just made new account with new IP.
