Basically We have an existing rule where its only 2 unique ads every 5 minutes. What my proposal is that Jamie creates a plugin where you can only chat twice every 5 minutes in the trade chat. Everytime a player tries to talk between the 5 minutes, It will say something like "[tr] Your CoolDown expires in 0:00" Outcome: You wont see people advertising a lot and staff wouldnt have to worry about users saying ads within 5 minutes.
-1 Jamie has many other things he has to do and one useless plug in will just back up things that actually need to be done. We have staff for a reason.
This isnt some useless plugin lmao. If this plugin was implemented, Staff wouldnt have to stop what they are doing and type in chat saying to advertise twice every 5 minutes.
Instead everyone who wants to spam advertisements would do so in global chat. I actually have to agree here.
-1 Might as well just install a plugin that blocks people from double posting, spamming chat, and using inappropriate words/phrases. That would take away a huge part of a mod's job. They're here to make sure you understand the rules so that you know how to behave in chat. If a plugin that controlled chat was added, mods wouldn't have to do their job. It also takes away the player's "freedom of speech" in chat, which is an important part in economy servers. I'm also sure players could bypass this by changing up their ads. The developers have more important things to focus on, and this isn't necessary.
We do have a plugin that stops excessive spamming, and we were gonna have a chat filter. That makes 0 sense. If it wasn't needed, it wouldn't be a part of staff's job. You can't "not do" a job you don't have. It's like saying we shouldn't cure cancer because oncologists wouldn't have to do their job. I don't even How does a limit to the number of posts in a channel have anything to do with what's being posted...
disagreeing with a suggestion because it's of low priority is silly. It doesn't have to be accepted straight away, it just has to be considered and implemented in the future; You know, when jamie has time. THAT IS A GOOD THING! WHAT DO YOU THINK STAFF IS? BORED OUT OF THEIR MINDS? Less work = less strain = happy staff. I don't see the problem here. What? No. That's not how that works. That's ridiculous. You can't seriously think that everyone would use global chat for ads because there's a cooldown timer in Trade chat. They won't. Some will, no doubt. But not even remotely close to everyone. Aside from the chat filter, the double-posting/spamming thing already exists. It's the thing that tempbans you for a minute.
Because it doesn't integrate into herochat, it doesn't give zero shits about what channel you're in. It was there for a short period of time, but because it kept blocking you from saying the same (and even similar) message twice you couldn't even type in the wrong chat without frustratedly waiting for a few seconds to post the same message in the right chat.
I think if this does happen it should have a cool down of 3 minutes. Most mods do not enforce the 5 minute rule unless it is happening every 30 seconds or so. Other than that +1
Because if for example I want to suddenly make a new ad, irrelevant to my previous/macro ad, I don't want to wait and disable my macro.
wtf does this have to do with macros? You're breaking the rules by doing it any other way. This plugin is just a way to enforce the rule.
