Can we please look at the poll? Catering to the minority makes no sense in my opinion.

 

When the minority is more important. Kappa

 

The changes I'm making do nothing to make the restrictions more strict - simply more finite. Excessive spamming of shouts is already illegal and I think 10 in a minute is a fair number. The poll is about making the rules more strict - which is not what is happening.

So, what sort of work do you need done? Land clearing? A building or 2? Maybe farm perms? ECD compensation? (are we allowed to pay for stuff like that?) ;)

Me and the rest of the minority are interested :D

 

Too many comments, not enough care to read them. So I may be repeating something that's already said.

But why would someone shout if people are going to ignore it? That's silly... let them shout all they want, it's good for everyone (technically).

 

Most of the shout spam I see is silly users with their inside jokes that are just meant to confuse/annoy another users. Yes please.

 

shouts should adhere to /ignore, that's all.

 

Is a shout chat? We need to define that.

 

So.... Can we say this suggestion is accepted?

 

I'd much rather have that rule than completely banning all shout spam.

 

Minutes? How many minutes?

Other than that, it looks fine to me. However, I do wonder the effectiveness of shout spam rules if they're easily blocked by ignore.

 

People seem to think that their irritating behaviour is somehow good "because it takes money out of the economy". No-one cares, you can shout all you like but no-one is listening.

If you really want to take money out the economy try dropping star tools in lava. It's for the common good!

 

But, I mean why would we need these rules if /ignore applies to shouts as well? With /ignore out of the picture, I do totally understand why we'd implement these rules. However, when ignore works for shouts, what's the point in banning shout spam? The people spam it will be ignored by users who are annoyed/unhappy with it. At this point you're pretty much discouraging shouts from being used.

 

You can't even double post them? Are we trying to have somesort of even-more-absurdly-strict-and-not-fun-and-makes-people-quit-and-generates-suckups type of staff? That's excessive... I've seen issues there there are like
