Default The /OOC problem:

I've noticed that since the pop has gone way up in preperation for Kunark, that /ooc has gone FAR beyond "want to sell/looking for group" and into the realm of insanity. Its a constant wave of racist/sexist/homophobic spam. Some have already posted screenshots showing examples of how bad it has gotten. I'm too much the gentleman to add to those screenshots, but trust me when I say its getting rediculous.

There is /ooc and there is no /ooc, but then there can be some sort of compromise between the two that maybe limits /ooc to one message per minute or so? That would be more then enough for people to advertise a group, lfg, try to sell or buy something or even to brag about a pvp exploit.

I propose, especially of YellowText is going in with Kunark, that some sort of limit be placed on /ooc to stop all this evil spam that is flooding our airwaves and turning away many mature new players from the server. I'm constantly hearing from new people that this non-stop KKK rally in /ooc is turning them away from this community.

Let us make it so, for the sake of the community.

For the record I am against killing Palestinians and taking their lands too (Pretty sure that's anti-semetic)

Impossible to "take Palestinian land", they don't have any. The very name Palestinian was created to justify taking something every nation knows doesn't belong to them...

Anywho, ya, once a minute timer on ooc plz, thx!

If people are spamming homophobia, sexism and racism (which I don't doubt), why not screenshot it and report them? It should be enough to have rules against what sort of speech is allowed in global ooc, and mute people who violate those rules.

Well its a drain on dev/GM time and by the time they get around to doing something about it, we may have lost another dozen mature players we have so painstakenly recruited from blue and elsewhere.

Slathar, one of the worse offenders, has been reported more times then anyone can count, and he continues to log in to ONLY spam ooc with vulgarities and (his favorite thing to do) spam random people with hate tells and walls of @@@@@@@@ over and over again.

Ok so we can ignore, for example, slathar. But for every 10 noobies that ignore slathar..how many say "this community sucks" and never logs in again?

We should be cultivating a classic community here, not EQ-the Klan rally edition.
