Default Spam EC

Anyone else getting tired of this over and over? When will this person get IP banned?

Replace ip with account and you got yourself a fair question.

Because you can't just make another account and keep spamming, oh wait...

Hate to admit it, but in the early days spammers were classic as Hell when someone rage quit. This guy got banned and he spammed our server message board with porn for weeks.

Welcome to the kingdom of nerds on an elf forum.

Instead of either detailing what actually needs done (because clearly the nerds know,) they'd rather insult you even though the basis of your concern is valid and actually what should be recognized.

I agree with you, I also made a post yesterday and instead of being addressed on the forums or in the game, my post was removed and the spamming of EC and WFP continued all day.

I am sure this post will be removed too, btw. A little acknowledgment from the staff would be nice though, to know they are addressing it, or trying to.

This profanity laced spam is unacceptable, my virgin eyes can't read stuff like this. But seriously, it's bad and I hope they find a way to stop it.

There is no way short of locking someone in a cage to keep them from getting around any attempt to block them from spamming your servers. It isn't possible to sostop them, you can only discourage the less intent ones. Your ip will change if you disconnect your router for a few hours or if you call your is and request an ip refresh. You can change your mac address for free with a computer program or for $10 with a new network interface card. You can change you machine id by using a direct computer. I know this and I am a basic level user not a system admin or it professional... YouTube and reddit can help you get around just about anything

I made a level 1 druid named "cockmagic" the other day (pras Kustt) and Sirken summoned me and name changed me within 30 seconds of the character being created.

And not just porn, really gross tranny porn [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Not that any porn belongs here, but that stuff was awful.

I imagine they look for keywords on a special list whenever anyone creates a new character, and they pounce unless your name is something fantasy-like (eg. Feroicockitam). Now if only they would update that list with the 200 other most popular words that don't belong in character names ...
