    There has been a lot of spam going on.

    Not to insult moderators, but what I find pathetic is that they "warn" or "kick" people. People 100% KNOW they are not allowed to spam! I've been on a server once where you repeat 4 messages = 1 hour mute. NO SPAM and NO warning.



    Overall, me and many other people are sick of seeing that bubbythebird's banner shop has got 3"op" banners and folojack is hosting a skin comp 0/15 people with a 1 god stick reward and 1 grass fee. And then to make it worse they SPAM that.Guess why non-donators can't get noticed in chat? They get drowned by spam!

    1.

    People, greenies longest, only allowed to write a message every 15 sec or lower unless they're in /msg.

    2.
    Chats That would really help, since tons of island conversations are going on in main chat. Y0u could make a chat, 15 people maximum in it.

    3. Donor chat

    As you can see, donators cannot stand the spam anymore:
    "Skin comb 1 gras feee winer get 1 god item 0/60 people 20min start" <--- Repeated 50 times
    Donators would have privileges to do /chat donor or /chat normal.
    This would be an add-on to chats.


    3. Chat mods. Many times this has been suggested, never accepted. But this is what we need.

    The Donor Chat idea really is a good one, and there is an easy plugin for /ch which would allow ease of access between channels. It could reduce spam and keep the people happy. Also, there should be some kind of new staff like Chat mod in there (They have to be a donor) Who has the power to Instantly mute anyone who repeats a message more than 3 times in 1 page for 30 mins. This will keep the chat spam free and friendly. Good luck, and it's a definite Support from me!

    I support this.

    It's really hard to read chat with all of the spam going on. It's an eyesore. The only people I talk to regularly are donators, and any greenie really worth speaking to is generally going to end up a donator.

    I believe Skygods should get the ability to create private chats.

    Co-op chats should exist by default.

    I agree! Skygods can then add people to them and keep the chat clean!

    You act as if donors are a different generation or whatever of people. They're just people who decided to donate to the server, they could be a spammer, scammer, or whatever. Yes, sure people spam and it's annoying, but you can use /ignore. Spamming/caps is their decision, some people don't know better.
    I've seen donors that spam continuously, try to sell illegal to sell things. Just because they donated, doesn't really make them different. And I feel as if it would add more spam and mods would have a bit of a hard time moderating two chats at once.
    Anyways, no support.

    Also, I don't quite understand the chat mod thing, are you saying that they'd have to be donor? If you do, many donors would just abuse the chat mod. ;p

    Now look, how many donators do you see spamming, and how many nondonators do you see spamming? Very big difference.

    Doesn't mean donors are innocent. Greenies spam because they feel no one will pay attention to their messages, and some just spam because they can because no one kicks them. But I dont support any of the ideas. They are not fair to non donors. Donors will just have to suck it up and let mods handle spammers the best we can.
    What we need is something that will either stop people from typing similar messages twice in a row, that includes changing 1 or 2 words or characters or adding symbols. Maybe default ranks get a default colour like light yellow that is easy on the eye but will be more noticeable. Finally, in general, a larger team of mods because lets face it we have lost majority of our mods and the will to mod for a lot of them have slipped. If we can keep the team large enough we may have more mods on to deal with spam.
    Either that or local/global chat.
    But nothing that will discriminate against a non donors right to chat, especially because a lot of greenies actually do follow the chat rules and cant afford a rank.

    There are significantly less donor spammers.

    The reason this is a problem is because the mods don't do much about it, /ignoring everyone takes a long time and has to be re-done every 10 minutes because of new people and reporting everyone would take far too long. Everything currently in play to counter spam doesn't work.

    A "warning" doesn't stop them from spamming .-.

    No. If they spam, they'll be kicked. If it keeps happening, they'll be reported.
    2.

    No, it just gives more chats for Moderators to Moderate.
    3. Donor chat

    As you can see, donators cannot stand the spam anymore:
    "Skin comb 1 gras feee winer get 1 god item 0/60 people 20min start" <--- Repeated 50 times

    This would be an add-on to chats.
    it would give more chats for Moderators to moderate. It's not fair for non-donors either.

    I honestly don't know what you mean by this.

    Overall, no support whatsoever.
