Re: World Chat Spam?

Emoji isn't the issue, the issue is block art with little substance; and the 5 minute rule should apply per alliance, 6 people with the same message competing for most annoying emoji ad is simply not right.

Re: World Chat Spam?

then just keep blocking all the people, it takes two taps

and in the end the devs decide what happens in the game, but if enough people like the idea and the experts get wind of it, then experts may just start inforcing the rule

I think that should be something admin discusses. It definately should have a limit though. Ads are cool but they shouldn't interfere with our gaming.


Fey you are useing a chat program linked to the game it can't interfere if you don't open chat your argument is flawed

I'm sorry if you feel that way Eternus, but some people in WC tonight were in fact complaining that it interferes with their gaming due to the fact that it pops up on screen.
Also, if we have questions we go to WC. How are we to ask if it's being overtaken?

Re: World Chat Spam?

I think it's fine as long as it's kept between that five minute rule... I mean it's not useless if someone else finds it appealing. Spam is something NOONE likes... in this case some people do like it. And to the ppl that don't like it they can mute the person doing it. But it's unnecessary to mute them from the entire chat period... WANT KVATHE BACK!

(Hint Hint: Art Chat ;D)

I don't like it. Some people don't advertise anything, and even though it's art, it is kind of spam. Makes it hard to read what was being posted previously. And in the advertisements, usually they just say "Rev3rse BEST ALLIANCE EVER"

Re: World Chat Spam?

Sylarius deemed emoji ads acceptable if they do not exceed one page.

If the emoji is not for an alliance, it is spam.

Please watch for these, and if you see them, let an expert know.

or maybe just an Ad Chat? people who are looking for alliances or just love emoji art can browse that chat when wc is boring. keep 5 minute rule cause it might get a bit ridiculous, tho.

but back to this topic, i agree with a 5 line rule for the emoji ad, then have some kind of text. but i think even just a "join ____" should be acceptable. this wouldn't distract too much from the game and won't take up too much room.
