Suggest better AntiSpam
Posted: Fri Feb 21, 2020 10:30 pm
I do already /ignore people who do nothing except spam. However there are some players which I do not wish to /ignore.
Players will send the same message in chat 4-5 times in a row, an example such as:
<player> What do you mean
<player> What do you mean
<player> What do you mean
<player> What do you mean
That by itself is not particularly annoying. However there is a growing trend of when one player spams, several other players join in, creating a long text wall. This bandwagon effect makes it much more annoying. I can't justify /ignore for player I am friends with, but post a message four times in a row. Sometimes it is the result of a group of players each making a single chat message such as:
<player_1> hsdfhjasfgdgbvlcajksdfbclasjkfdghvbacsdjkhvacnsdjkfbvcasjkdvbcalsfkjdvba fjksvba fdkjv

I have seen servers which eliminate spam with a plugin that combines repeated messages or stops the same message from being said twice in a row. However said plugins are very annoying at times. Could the server admins look into possibly finding a method to reduce this bandwagon effect spam?This method of spam is becoming increasingly more popular.
