As the rules read:
'CHAT OFFENCES
Users should not spam, flood, or be rude in chat. You should also not create fake messages, as this is against our rules and counts as trolling. Users advertising their island must wait 5 minutes between advertisements and limit their advertisements to one message, or it will be considered spam.'

Without getting too specific, the rules read 'advertising their island'. This does not specify per account. If there are two accounts, owned by the same person, that is considered one 'User'. If that said 'User' is not waiting 5 minutes per advertisement, regardless of which account the advertisement is coming from, this is considered spam.

Back to the main topic, advertising islands, shops, casinos, and whatever else, has been a massive part of not only Skyblock, but pretty much every other server ever. As someone said above, the /ad system is not sufficient enough. Until a better system is developed, chat advertisements are totally fine. No part of me thinks that chat advertisements would ever not be allowed, even if there was a better system.

It's hard to verify what is and isn't an 'automatic advertisement'. It really isn't a big deal, mostly everyone uses them anyway. I don't understand why they wouldn't be allowed given that the time gap is sufficient enough.

We'll look at a 15-minute gap per economy advertisement. Still discussing this with the team.

 

'It really isn't a big deal, mostly everyone uses them anyway. I don't understand why they wouldn't be allowed given that the time gap is sufficient enough.'

 

Personally, I don’t think it’s really needed for Skyblock as it’s a more face paced chat.

The suggestion is marked as Global as what he’s actually suggesting is disallowing automatic advertisement, not suggesting for a bigger gap.

 

A 15 minute gap has been discussed, as seen above. Would the economy community rather it to be 10?

 

Common sense applies. It's the same way we've been doing it for almost two years now.

 

At this stage, auto advertisements will still be allowed.

Please refer to Economy Updates - July 25th, 2024 as the gap has now increased to 10 minutes on Economy.
