Since a few weeks ago some dudes starting spamming local zone chat on KDF side. The damn msg its written so go past filters i think ( if they are any lol ) and cuz of this is annoying as hell. He gets reported but in max 5 minutes he come with another account. Whatever its a human or a boot behind this its making staying on kdf side annoying.
After hundredths (if not more) of reports are u telling me that u CANT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS CRYPTIC ? ... its going on for weeks now. If so this spammer its bulletproof and this might get other people ideas ... imagine 10 of there on fed side ...i'd quite the game lol.
If DR is whats keeping u Busy then i hope its worth it and that after the release ( and after u fix the bugs lol ) someone will take care of this.

Um... did you try ignore on him? And what is he saying?
Its basically endless spam about "eC sH1P 5AL3S" etc etc regarding certain unfavourable websites.
We do get it allot on ESD too, though there it is largely gone from chat very quickly as zone chat there is often busier.
"If this will be our end, then I will have them make SUCH an end as to be worthy of rememberance! Out of torpedos you say?! Find me the ferengi!".
But you'd assume it could annoy cryptic since obviously those chinese gold farmers are making money off of their work.
Considering they were pitiful enough to go after vendor trash I am gonna go ahead and make a qualified assumption that they did what they could to step the leak
I say turn off general chat and be done with it. Nothing good ever happens there any way.
Yes lol i do proud myself in having a minimal intelligence and luckily it the first thing i thought
... Multiple accounts, staying kdf side means i have to ignore 30 accounts in 1 hour ... and that's after wall text the "local zone", like i said annoying. Only thing good is closing the "Local chat" as one said.
There's really not a lot Cryptic could do, without unfairly restricting the access of legitimate new accounts, leaving them in an untenable position...
It really is damn'd if they do (penalise legitimate new customers) and damn'd if they don't (allow spammers to continue)...
Than after a grace period has expired, it will re-open those account names for possible use again.

They have experimented a fair bit in neverwinter with anti gold farmer techniques.
Over there auctionhouse purchase/sales s are throttled based on character level, and they even made the biggest ticket farmed sale items (keys) bound to account to try and cut into the farmers. They have been banning exploiters and have greatly impacted the supply of faked dilithium(astrals).
But the spam itself is pretty unstoppable, from zone chat to tells to even friend invites with the website in the character name. Very intrusive.
STO is very lucky to only have to deal with zone selling.
Mock you, maybe... spammer no.
All it takes is you to ignore them. Doesn't take long to do each and every one, and it's not like you're missing anything game changing in local anyway.
Well, if you look at how the spamming is laid out, it would most likely never be something people would ever use in chat.
So the problem of people getting themselves banned, would be so minimal as to not even be a factor really.
Yes, and it would need adjusting from time to time, based on the reports.

Champions had such a feature and it was very bad. First, griefers made characters with names that would get you banned if you typed them in chat, and second some of the autobahn words did get used, especially by people playing robots and cyborgs.
I haven't seen any threads about it Ina while, so I dunno if they cleaned the triggers or just turned it off.
Again, if they set the automation to only respond to the reported messages, and nothing else.
It shouldn't be a problem, the only thing they need do, is update it from time to time, based on new reports.

Hard to look at it as a positive thing, but it does seem to indicate the game is quite healthy.
Let's pretend Dave is a banned word. Now tell me if the below is believable as something you might see in chat.
Zone#2: d'a.ve@gavinruneblade: hey, I haven't played in a while, where's the tailor on this new ESD?
Zone#1: niceguy@abbouttobebanned: Dave, it's straight from the transporter.
Que the snark about unlikely because no one helpful plays.
i have seen it on the fed side also, i just ignore it so it doesnt bother me, its the best way.
When I think about everything we've been through together,
maybe it's not the destination that matters, maybe it's the journey,
and if that journey takes a little longer,
so we can do something we all believe in,
I can't think of any place I'd rather be or any people I'd rather be with.
What are you doing, Dave?
I don't think you should be doing that, Dave.
Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do. I'm half craaaazzzzeeee alllllffffoooorrrr tththeee loooove offff youuuuuuu...
If it keeps the whales playing...
For the love of god YES I DO REPORT SPAM AND IGNORE THEM, i don't need obvious suggestions. If u feel that good explaining the obvious to others try a politician career.
Mock me if u want but FIRST learn how to read before jumping to give "clever" suggestions.
And get the hell out of my tread troll.
since PWE is a chinese company, perhaps the farmers are just another division of PWE
have you seen in their version of the foundry the "go kill gold farmer" mission? pretty funny
Lol, u might me on to something there.
I can understand gold sellers posting a msg every 20-30 minutes but this guy/bot its posting 2-3 every few minutes.
Not sure what he want to accomplish by that, other that annoying players.
Maybe instead of sitting in zone worrying about a spammer for hours you could go and play the game, come on man, I get that spam can get old but just ignore it and go out and play the game. When you start seeing spam in STFs then there is a REAL issue.
