Would You Call This Abuse?

[Zellgadess]

Would you call this abuse??
Mr \'Lightningbolt\'  was spaming the chat with questions answered in the forums, FAQ, News Page. He also made insulting remarks about the creators of the game which i took offence to. I decided to speak up and inform him that spaming the chat was bad and he could find all his answers in the forums etc. But Mr \'Lightningbolt\' wouldent lisern. I informed him of how anoying he was getting, he told me to get a shout blocker, but shout is very useful when used correctly.
I now have photo of the nice /tell he sent me

personaly, this is not a person i want to play planeshift. I would be very gratefull if a admin could give \'lightningbolt\' a talking to.
What about the rest of you, is this the type of planescape you want?
I would also recomend a complant forum

I Have informed Mr \'lightningbolt\' of this post and would happily forgive him after a formal apology

Edit: heh... planeshift.. planescape... cant help it, planescape\'s an old game

I hate this stupid global-world-chats.
Not only get they spammed, but ruining the game by taking away a reat deal of roleplay and otherwise needed travel...

[dannythompson]

Dang thats pretty out hand. I\'m sorry this has happened, next time it does inform a moderator.

[Madouc]

I just can\'t see how /shout can be used in roleplaying at all if the whole world can hear it.

in my opinion it should onley be heard within a reasonable vicinity from the person /shouting
then things like this wouldn\'t be happening. i think

[Jaakon]

Yep, that would be the best way to do it.

Well, I\'m afraid noone can help you if you get abused in some other game. Sorry.

Anyway, next time something like that happens, go to IRC or something. There are always mods there who can get into PS in a very short time.

Ok really whatever lol hopefully ignore list comes out in the future so you don\'t have to worry about such people but...

Why the hell are you calling this game \"PlaneScape\"? Am I the only one that picked up on that, its not called \"PlaneScape\"...\"PlaneShift\".

[Moogie]

Isn\'t Nilaya a GM...? I could swear she was, but then why didn\'t she deal with the situation? ?( Maybe not... I can\'t find that GM list anymore.

If I was there I woulda given him a what-for, but MB freezes my system so often that going there is a risk. I do still occasionally turn up (and freeze), but before I do I\'ll handle any idiots that might show up.

Sorry that this happened to you, Zellgadess. I\'ll keep an eye out for him in the future.

But please, for anyone in this situation with abusive players, come to IRC immediately and alert us. I for one am always in the public developer channel (#planeshift on freenode.com) and will come help if nobody else is available.


About a complaint forum: This would just get heavily abused. It is far better to use IRC and alert us immediately to abuse, rather than post on the forum where no GM might look for hours, even days.

Now, there IS a game called planescape, but if I recall it\'s got less in game content than planeshift, and where there is really sucks.  I guess scape is what popped into mind when he heard the second half of PS.  o.O


Anyway, you *could* download a mod with a /ignore command, such as aineko\'s, if you can\'t get a moderator in there, for a quickfix sorta thing.

[Caldazar]

Did he just threaten to beat someone up on the internet?
He most certainly win in real life. Who let him out of b.net?

[Fiegmund]

An ignore command is useful once in a while, but it shouldn\'t be the solution to spamming and abusive players.  Turning off a channel is even lees of a valid option.  I don\'t mind new players asking questions, but when they\'re obviously trolling, or just jumped in the game without reading anything, it\'s just  annoying, and a waste of time for everyone.

As for /shout, MB having such a small area, it being a broadcast channel is allright.  But I think that for a bigger release, having more channels would be very useful.  Like in Medievia, there\'s a whole area, and a channel, that are mostly used for idle chatting, and shout really is shouting (more range than say, but still limited).  In some games I have also seen a newbie channel, which is a good idea if you have a good amount of people dedicated to helping new players.

[Moogie]

CB\'s Shout range will be area-only. There will be no truely Global chat channel. Newbies can seek help through the use of the Advisor system, and trolls/idiots/abusers can be reported through the GM Petition system. So don\'t worry about a thing.

[Zellgadess]

So if in need of assistance the best thing to do is go on irc. Its hard to tell who the GM\'s Are (im pritty shure terriah is one) but its even harder to prove such an event. Theres no point prosecuting some one with no evidence, because if people lie\'d about abuse, good people could get punished.
Yea, some good idea\'s, like a newbie channel, a main channel, a merchant channel etc. With choice about what you want on.
ta

and sorry about soiling this great game with such horrid words as planes***e

[fken]

Is there a GM list somewhere ? and a modo list ?

@Gronomist : It could be very usefull

[Myrtl]

You it would be very useful for ppl who dont have IRC
