Racist slur all caps spam in novice.

[Verendal]

For several days now the entire datacenter has been hit with a mentor who goes between worlds, invites free trial alts of his and spams a dozen lines of racist slurs and insults, has recently added in 'IT''LL NEVRE STOP F-----S N-----S' (Censored for obvious reasons) over and over and over, leaving channel before getting kicked, sometimes someone catches a kick and they just make another free trial alt.

Can we PLEASE get someone on this, SE? It is showing a complete lack of care that you keep *letting this happen*

That is correct, as there is really only ONE person that is behaving in this extreme manner. They just keep making sprouts so that even if you blacklist them, you still see the spam because he rolls another new character to do it all over again.

Did you report them? Because GM's are pretty quick on that stuff.

there has been dozens if not hundreds of reports so far, this is still going on. it won't stop until they actually IP ban them unfortunately

They've been doing it for days. They are literally doing it *right now* on the other monitor.

As much as I hate to say it, even an IP ban won't stop it. You can easily jump on a VPN that will assign you a different IP whenever you want. The only way I can see this truly getting fixed is either:

1. Limiting Trail Accounts even more.

2. Get rid of the Novice Network Chat.

Those are the only two that I can see that will absolutely stop this. Both of which probably wouldn't be a great idea.

It's this kind of stuff that has kept me out of NN chat since the beginning. My first and only experience with the NN chat for me was people talking about how what time of the day you shower gets you laid more... That is the kind of chat that belongs in private channels. Just my two cents.

Getting rid of NN would not solve anything, because I can pretty much guarantee he would take his racial and other hurtful slurs and spam them in main city states, where A LOT of people hang out.
