TitanPawnz Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Its annoying. Can't there be a message saying: Your message is similar to the one you posted. It will greatly reduce spam in channel/global chat Link to comment
Hiraeth Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 (edited) RIP trade chat Anyway, it's easy to bypass these filters so I don't see the point. Edited September 27, 2015 by Hiraeth Champlooo 1 Link to comment

TitanPawnz Posted September 27, 2015 Author Share Posted September 27, 2015 yea same with that and they most likely wont implement what u want sorry to say No such thing as most likely its either they will or they won't. Link to comment
Hiraeth Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 They wouldn't implement the "Press 'up' to repeat your message" feature if they didn't want people to use it. :v Bilburt and KingRechey 2 Link to comment
TitanPawnz Posted September 27, 2015 Author Share Posted September 27, 2015 They wouldn't implement the "Press 'up' to repeat your message" feature if they didn't want people to use it. :v That does not encourage people to abuse it either Link to comment
Hiraeth Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 (edited) That does not encourage people to abuse it either If it's abused the player will be muted for spamming. Otherwise it's helpful for players who are trading, too lazy to re-link Pokemon/items to chat, asking a question a second time, or anything else really.

But what you just said makes They wouldn't implement the "Press 'up' to repeat your message" feature if they didn't want people to use it. :v Invalid now. Link to comment
Hiraeth Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Yes I agree with that. But what you just said makes Invalid now. Um how? The point in both posts is that it's wanted and helpful. One simply says that players will be muted for spamming if it is abused, which is the truth. Link to comment
Champlooo Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Yes I agree with that. But what you just said makes Invalid now. Not really. I always assumed the feature was made for trade. That's the only place it's useful unless you spam. Link to comment

Yes but he said it would bypass the filter. Can we stay on topic about spam instead of the trade chat? Link to comment
DaftKitteh Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 This seems like a poor solution to something that isn't really even much of a problem. Due to OP being unclear in his original post, I'm not entirely sure what you're trying to solve with this. If you're referring to Trade Chat spam, trade chat exists for spam. While we do certainly need a better trading system, this would only make our current system a pain to use. If you've noticed that when you're typing and you press the Up Arrow Key it copies your last sent message, that's so you can send chat messages without going through the trouble of typing it out. This mechanic also helps combat auto-typers, making them near pointless to use. If you're referring to Global/Channel/Normal/etc., sure this hypothetically could do something useful. It would stop someone from saying 'vendo pokeman' 1000 times in chat. What this would also do, as previously mentioned, is ruin our current trading system(Unless it's set into effect only for Global/Channel). On top of that the implementation of this system would be ineffective and/or complicated. Would it work only for exact messages, so if I say "Ayy lmao" I can't send the message "Ayy lmao" again after that? If so then all I have to do is type "Ayyy lmao" and wooosh, I've evaded your system. If it has some kind of intelligence behind it and knows that "Ayy lmao" and "Ayyy lmao" are essentially the same message, then you start running into bigger problems. For instance if a friend of mine joins the chat channel I would say "Hey Ben", and if another friend joins the channel I'd say "Hey Sam", but your system wouldn't let me say hello to my friend because the messages are identical. It should also be mentioned that our moderators already punish players for spam, and with this system being either overly complex or really easy to get around it brings next to nothing to the table that we don't already have. Pros of this system: Depending on the implementation, it /might/ stop autotypers(Which aren't a problem in our game anyways) Cons of this system: Limits chat Ruins our trade system Depending on the implementation, it could be really tedious for innocent players who aren't spamming Our current system of limiting the amount of messages a player can send per every x amount of seconds already does a good job of keeping the spam under control. Also if you do see someone spamming, you're encouraged to submit a player report so that a moderator is made aware of the issue. BenGorgon and Champlooo 2 Link to comment
BenGorgon Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 "Hey Ben" Hey Daft o/ But yeah, essentially either way it would be an overly complex system for something that doesn't really need to be fixed in the first place. DaftKitteh 1 Link to comment
