This spamming is beginning to get annoying....

[Energizeric]

Maybe put a limit on how many new threads a single user can start in an hour? This has been happening every night lately. Maybe the limit goes away after you have 100 posts. Even me with my 7k+ posts, I don't think I've ever started more than 2 new threads in an hour.

[Fyrce]

Very annoying.

Maybe also do that "are you human" test before you can post.

[Froxanthar]

Its very annoying. I wonder who did this.
1 post per hour for people who post < 100 probably is a good solution.

[Xeusx]

1-2 hours is really good solution to STOP those spam bots.

It doesn't have to be 1 post per hour, just only allowed to start 1 new thread per hour. You can post on existing threads as much as you like.

[Azemen]

It's really annoying as right now there's 2+ pages of the "black magic love specialist" thread posted. Literally one thread every 1-2 minutes, not exaggerating here.
And the person behind all of it is smart, posting when all the devs and mods are asleep for the night - currently 5 AM in TX right now.
I have to scroll 4-5 pages to get to the thread I want to read, something actually about AL for Pete's sake!

[aarrgggggg]

Wild guess here....the poster is a disgruntled player perhaps banned, Im pretty sure there is an ulterior motive of some sort

[Starkinea]

OMG!!! this is really crazyy!!!!:grumpy:

[Ishtmeet]

OMG!!! this is really crazyy!!!!:grumpy:

AHem, hello ;p
An Indian guy is doing this. And yes this is annoying, why don't sts block those 3 users?

[Azemen]

I don't really play at this hour so I'm assuming this is the craziest spam incident to date?

[chrizplague]

Just saw +6spam threads and those were all within general discussion:/ has this been going on lately?

[Pohdoh]

if i have five apples and i add two how many apples to i have?

[XTmaster]

Zero, I ate all of them.

[Earlingstad]

To solve this I would suggest limit thread creation of "new" members to 1 per day until they have gained enough forum experience. If thread creation is limited, this troll might creep into others' threads and spam posts. Posts can be 2 per hour for new members.

[Magegrimm]

The thing is: this spammers are not all in one acc or it would be easy to just click ignore or STS to remove it the problem it's that they're always creating new acc even IP adress can be different so...
The only thing, maybe (saying maybe) confirm that's human like above say ^.
I do not mind to learn black magic to kill warriors in pvp though

[nun]

spem is nut gud for ur health.

eat clen guys

[Jeremyfr]

This has been going on for a while on the Arcane Battlegrounds forum, but then there are 3 pages full of this **** threads.

The '2 threads an hour' and 'are you human' things will work i gues.

[Powergear546]

I don't think limiting normal forumers is a good idea. I'd rather ban the spammers, because what they do is breaking the forum rules.

but if they get banned they just make new accounts -.-
And when have you EVER made more than 2 threads in a hour?

There's a problem with blocking his IP: He could use a proxy or vpn...

I think it actually is a spambot, considering that I've seen many other forums sites (including non-game related forum sites) being spammed by the "Magic specialist"



I suggest the STS web devs create a counterBot, which as soon as it detects a forum account spamming "Black Magic Specialist" on multiple threads, it will flag that account, send a pm to a mod/dev, then ban that account for X amount of time, so the mods/devs could see if that forum acc is a spambot.

in the trade section:)

[Dex Scene]

Yes this is so annyoing.. sometimes I wish if I only could know who the duck is the guy or his so called fake BaBa.. -.-

So far most of the forum communities I have been, theres always ARE YOU HUMAN/ CAPTCHA tests for publishing a thread or consecutive posts in a short time.
Implementing that in here wouldn't be hard and would stop the spam.

STS can ban a device, not an account. Yes, I've made more than 2 threads in an hour
