Possible solution for spam and trolling
Forums › Suggestions & Feedback › Possible solution for spam and trolling-
I've just noticed there is something in place to try and minimise the amount players can spam.
At my previous level 126 I could post around 8 forum replies 1 after another before I received a timeout.
At my current level 31 I can make 2 replies before a timeout.
Not quite sure what the formule is here that determines this but having a fixed timeout would help.
Level 1-25. 2 replies every 10 minute timeout.
Level 26-50. 4 replies every 8 minute timeout.
Level 51-75. 4 replies every 6 minute timeout.
Level 76-100. 6 replies every 4 minutes.
Level 101-125. 6 replies every 2 minute timeout.
Level 126-150. 8 replies every 2 minute timeout.

In addition set a limit on post creation.
Level 1-25. 2 posts per 24 hours.
Level 26-50. 3 posts per 24 hours.
Level 51-75. 4 posts per 24 hours.
Level 76-100. 5 posts 24 hours.
Level 101-150. No limit. Trolls hardly ever get to this level.

This is for the forum but a similar timeout limit, a bit higher, can be set for PM too.
Keep it fixed for everyone. 10 PM every 5 minutes.
The figures are just a suggestion.

Hm I'm currently lvl 98 and I can only post twice before I get a 2 min timeout. Maybe the limit goes up after lvl 100?

Should that cover all messaging or just within the Forum? Ie should it also limit people's ability to spam individuals message boards? I'd like that included as trying to get a feel for a mobster used to be quite easy to page through a couple of pages to see the public personal comments (good and bad) - try it now and it's page after page of invite codes and you'll be lucky to find anything relating directly to that mobster.

I think the max character count should be lowered on profile comments. It will reduce the size of the chain mails we get.

My earlier suggestion for a sticky wall post would solve most of the chain mail issues.

Profile comments limits got raised because they were too low. I don't want them lowered.
@Vadan, idk what you're smoking, but 2 has always been the limit before you have to wait. Level is irrelevant. Maybe your account was glitchy or something.

But anyway, new level based limit would penalise the players it needs to without affecting others.
To be fair wall limits are needed. You're 1 of few who still post code lists so I can see why you wouldn't want a limit.

I think my list would actually fit in the smaller limit anyway; I try to keep it fairly short.
Actually, it's my welcome message & PSA about inactives that I give to Houston players that wouldn't fit in a smaller size. I can't tell you how many players have thanked me for the economy explanation either (part of the PSA about inactives).

Well a sticky would certainly help. You have that on your wall, when you send a list you can ask them to look at ur wall for more info.I think my list would actually fit in the smaller limit anyway; I try to keep it fairly short.

How did this change to a discussion about wall comments? Wall comments are fine as they are. But vadan's forum change is fair reasonable and should help greatly

But not all new players are trolls! How about a two week waiting time and at the end someone checks over your posts to see if ur nice or not
