RP shout ads are obstructive to chat and gameplay

[CVXIV]

Being able to filter specific words is a nice change, but these people are just going to break out a thesaurus or start getting "creative" and replace random characters and continue to subject people to their garbage.

I can understand that concern and I am sure people will try, but I'd like to assume that venues (since this thread had to do with them) would realize that if people are specifically filtering out words to not see their advertisements then they are not the crowd they want to attract.

However, if anyone tries circumventing the filter I think it would be grounds to report for harassment and have the GMs look at it.

It's not perfect, but I'm glad something is being done.
Only time will tell what we'll see come Dawntrail.

I only have two types of chats open. One is for parties and the other is for the free company. I got tired of seeing the spam and blocking them did nothing as they were doing it with newly created characters so I went to the extreme end to solve a problem that SE wasn't fixing.

im new to the game and i turn off shout chat 5 minutes after the first cinematic because it was just a massive wall of orange text talking about stuff i dont get so i dont even know what im missing out on besides talking to people in towns but i got novice network people if i have questions so i guess im ok but why are people allowed to spam so much i dont get it

Given that it's similar to how RMT bots try to avoid getting caught for spamming, I suspect people who deliberately try to get around peoples' blacklist filters by inserting numbers/symbols/etc. into their words could very easily be reported.

I highly doubt it. The shoutouts and the party finder entries are there because the game does not offer another way to advertise the RP events. And if a person blocks the advertisments then this person is not interested visiting the RP events. And you do not want to have those people on your event. I guess, the advertisers will be happy, that they can be blocked. Because it lowers the propability to be reported for spam.

novice network says that the people spam and get reported a lot and the gms dont do anything about the spam at all because the same ppl who get reported continue spamming the same spam every day so they all agree that gms are a part of it so they wont do anything cuz they value erp and spam over enjoyable game experience for all players so this must be a big issue if ppl feel so strongly about it and make a big stink so why dont they do the right thing and fix it

I wouldn't trust anything that people in the novice network say about the state of the game or GMs.

I wanted to add that this game is not universally rated as T. To me it came as a surprise 13yo are playing it as per user agreement. As in the UK it is rated pegi 16. And in Japan cero c (15+)

Do you really trust random people in the internet?
