Not a chance in the world!
I am not seeing all my hard work getting me to level 147 and with wmd's in my arsenal go to waste

Yeah, and I don't even play during the week - sometimes I don't even play over the weekend, come to think of it.

Hello. This is why I want to restart. Because you only have one target so you can have more targets

No, AtkShop will not be reset.
If anything it will be disabled if the gil spam continues

Aug 20 2007, 12:58 AM
Ok, I corrected the 1 option, and I added another option to the poll too.
RenegadeNukes
Aug 20 2007, 01:23 AM
Hang, on isn't talk, about disabling ATKLShop a different story all together?
Perhpas this poll should be closed and a new thraed one made regarding its disabling?
Well then let it stay (Regarding CM's post below)
Reason For Edit: Pointless to write another post to say this
cyfermaster
Aug 20 2007, 01:26 AM
No, I think it can stay in this thread.
Mr. Magic Matrix
Aug 20 2007, 02:02 AM
I don't think a disable is required either, people who spam should just have there gil removed to quote the regulations
QUOTE
1. If you spam, your posts get deleted and your gil revoked to less than you had when you started spamming. 2. If you spam again, all your gil gets deleted. 3. If you still spam, you will be banned from playing - which isnt fun for anyone! 4. Enjoy!
Otherwise you are persecuting everyone on the crimes of the few.

It's not just the spam control that's an issue, it's the large number of members that just register to play AtkShop.
It'd be interesting to see how many people stick around if we disabled it for a bit.
Mr. Magic Matrix
Aug 20 2007, 02:23 AM
Same as the arcade Rusty,
Disabled that yet....
Most members are only here for the arcade and i thnk that should be tackled before you think about this
cyfermaster
Aug 20 2007, 02:30 AM
a difference is that members that play the arcade do not simply spam to play. they just play. But we could always disable them both. the point of this thread though, is regarding atkshop.

No, it's not the same.
You've missed the point of us wanting to disable AtkShop: as cyfer said, the problem lies with people spamming for gil.
Mr. Magic Matrix
Aug 20 2007, 02:58 AM
Alright, i see your point
Guidelines are in place for this, can't they just be enforced. Believe me wiping out people's gil will hit harder than warn levels for example.
RustPuppet

They can, but we're not exactly paving the way forward for the forum by encouraging spammers and freeloaders.
It's also seems fairly pointless/counter-productive to me considering the anti-spam measures we already have in place.
Mr. Magic Matrix
Aug 20 2007, 04:27 AM
So is this going to go down to an opinion vote or will it be a staff decision?
RustPuppet
Aug 20 2007, 05:11 AM
Probably opinion vote, then staff decision.

Welcome to life my man.
And sure, lets have you as the official spam detector, so you can spend 24 hours a day online looking for spam posts to delete. The staff members have lives too, we dont want to spend all day deleting crap, we are here for exactly the same reason as you, to enjoy the forums.

"Well if you need more people then why not get more staff to spread the weight, perhaps you could look from th pool of V9 veterans for potential promotee's"
BTW: I am not saying who should be staff, just pointing out the obvious solution
Who suggested turning off the spam filters anyway
cyfermaster
Aug 20 2007, 07:03 AM
We have enough staff. The workload is handled fine at the moment. The problem would be if we turned the spam filters off. That would be quite hectic to cope with.
RustPuppet
Aug 20 2007, 07:15 AM
No one directly suggested turning the filters off, but might as well have considering all the people supporting the arcade and AtkShop.
I seem to remember far less issues when we never had the 'extras' to begin with.
Bone
Aug 20 2007, 02:51 PM
Why don't you pm the users that "JUST" Play Atk Shop and tell them hey have to post
Gitano
Aug 20 2007, 05:18 PM
haha, Rusty, there are always major issues, no matter what the extras are, or the lack off.
How about we wait for the results of a poll, and then the staff take a decision!?
Bone
Aug 20 2007, 05:23 PM
sure. The poll result's that we all want to play except 2 people who probably quit ibPro Battle. Am I correct

Cool. I'll put up a poll for disabling now now.

Bone you missed the point completely, the problems lies with players spamming for gil. Not the lack of players posting.
Try and pay more attention to the discussion before you post next time

Bone's account has been suspended for a couple days for his repeated gil spamming.
This topic has served its purpose so I'm locking it. If there are any issues please PM me.
