There is the <Chat button> -> <Up arrow> technique. That's the only other I'm currently aware of. And if that happens, there is a command spam block, like the chat one, I'm pretty sure.

 

In that case, shouldn't it just be a general command spam problem instead of just lotto?

-1 There is /lot messages

 

The thing is that there should be a set number of times you're allowed to spam. So that it doesn't get out of hand. And saying to use /lot messages, is like saying oh well if you don't like chat spam you can just /ch leave g. We shouldn't be punished for other people's spamming, they should. Or at least they should calm it down some.

 

I rarely advertise anything, but when I have, I am always given some kind of anti spam message even if it has been 3 minutes or more.
Could somebody explain how this spam even happens?

 

This all started because two people decided to buy probably 30+ tickets combined 1 at a time back to back. And they probably used a pt. It took awhile for them to be warned, and they continued even after being told to stop. I think if we had a set number that people could do it, this would solve the problem.
