Hi all

I have been On the server .net for a few months now, And i have noticed the amount of Spam about god items,caps,advertising,general abuse selling this and that etc etc etc.. i understand it can be 500+ people at a time playing at once and they all want to make themselves heard, Certain posts here and there are not harmful but its a lot of the time,its hard to actually chat to other players that may actually need help or just to see how they are doing, there have been times i have been on for long periods [i like to build] hours have passed where there has been no to little moderation, Donors and skygods try there best to control the chat but are restricted on there actions, i am not in any way trying to put blame on the moderators They have a lot to do as it is and there are multiple factors involved maybe different times zones, commitments etc, but there must be a solution to this problem, I am not sure if u already have such plugins installed to try to help cut down spam or ideas in the pipeline but here are my suggestions.

My suggestions are :-

1.A different warp or area where the chat is different to global chat, Players can go there and spam all they like to strike a deal and then return to skybase to trade.

2.Trading signs where people can display there item And how much they are looking to get etc i think there may be a plugin that handles this sort of thing.

3.100+ Donors Have the the ability to warn them /mute for a short while or extreme circumstances kick , i know this option can not be taken lightly but it could be a possibility to help control things, i couldn't see a 100+Donor risking being banned for abusing such small but in this case powerful commands

I am not trying to offend anyone with this post,or act like its like this 100% of the time because it is not just viewing my opinions and trying to help reduce this problem i understand each point has positives and negatives and brings up different problems.

Thanks for taking the time to read this.

 

Those ideas are good, especialy the second one. Maybe it is a good idea to make a warp where every player who buys some land there can build a little stand to sell items. This should be do-able with help from plugins like chest shop.
I am a 100$ so the third idea sounds good to me, but I think that lots of mods and other staff will be against this idea. Even if this would happen those commands could be abused, for this reason there should be a new rule about these commands (only in case this idea makes it).

How do I delete messages? I posted one twice accidentally because my computer didn't show it the first time.

 

There is no delete button, I made a thread about it and hopefully the staff can get back to it.

I agree with this idea, just not donor having mute commands. On other servers I am familiar with, the admins were promoting random players for moderator as the server was new and low on staff. Most of them abused their commands. You can't give random players /mute or there will be mass abuse of the command.

I would also like having a separate area for all those annoying spammers. When I join .NET, the chat is unbearable. It's not like I can turn it off, I need to use commands also. It puts me off so much I just quit.

 

I agree that the chat is a problem. For example, when I do auctions I dissapears from the chat within a few seconds, it is so bad that sometimes I just place signs on my island instead of using /msg.
Howerver, I don't know if the "spam area" is achievable.

 

Yes there is a small possibility that such commands could be abused but they are not powerful commands as the are not likely to damage the server maybe even just 250+ i highly doubt that someone that has donated 250 or 100 is going to risk being banned but there needs to be some control when a mod is not online, too much spam and people that genuinely need help are being missed.The other two ideas are also achievable just needs someone to put some thought into it.

And reducing this problem in my opinion would help make the community strive, striving community striving server which may lead to more people being helped and enjoying there time more on skyblock and leading to the possibility of a increase of donations to get that something little extra therefore helping the server grow.

 

The 100$+ donors wouldn't risk being banned indeed, but there are always people who would do it. I wouldn't do it myself. It is a good idea but it just has its own risks. The other two ideas aren't that hard to do.
