Right now the mod team is discussing spamming as a vio and we're considering condensing it into one vio. This means that spamming in unranked games will now be a community vio and thus against the rules, contrary to how it is currently moderated. It would also be moderated in sandbox, which it currently isn't.

Right now, we just want to get a consensus of how the site feels about this. Do you think spamming should be moderated in unranked + sandbox?

Should spamming be moderated in unranked and sandbox?

Then what's gonna be the standard for spamming? if you continuously say the same thing more than [some #] of times?

i just think it's hard to put a number on it.

It's really not that hard considering we already mod spamming perfectly fine, it's more just seeing if the community would support modding it in unranked and sandbox.


Your biggest mistake is assuming that sandbox is a game, in which there is an objective.


the objective is having a fun time. i don't think people ruining fun times is cool.


Banning someone for having their fun time ruins their fun time


spamming a game to the point where no one can vote or talk is a pretty unfun thing to do.


Well, that's just like, uh, your opinion, man.

If spamming is going to be moderated in Sandbox, wouldn't it make sense to moderate suicides (sui races) because objectively they also ruin the game?


Aaah you're making the same point I made sarcastically

Spamming one letter for twenty minutes makes exactly as much sense as everything else in sandbox.

But people have different ideas about what's "fun"




which is what passworded games are for. wanna cheat and GT without the report? just get some friends who want to and password the game.

What if you and your friends created a game just to have a spam war, and some Prissy Patty comes in and gets mad and ruins all the fun??


*lucid rains voice* that's what custom lobbies are for

on the real though passworded games.


Sandbox is a custom lobby


i was being facetious about custom lobbies


We've gone full circle


i don't really see how O_O

What's fun about sandbox? What is fun about racing to see who can leave the game first and randomly picking a name from the list of players while you type line after line of completely irrelevant text? What part is fun? What part makes it a game?

Perhaps you should only make this thread in the Sandbox forums instead of here, if that's where you're considering extending it to. Doesn't really affect Main, as I've never seen it be a problem even in Unranked games due to Kicking.


I see my point's already been made. I'll be going, now.

If you create a passworded game then the game won't fill. Custom lobbies are dead. Games don't fill.

If someone's spamming in an unranked game or in Sandbox, it's quite easy to remember who the user is, and simply kick them from all future games, which I think is a far more effective punishment than a 1 hour suspension or a warning.

why not just make it a case by case violation? or rather make spamming that is unrelated to the game a violation.

would continuously pinging someone count as spam?


Case by case violation would be way too much effort and would result in a lot more appeals. And spamming that's unrelated to the game takes up the large majority of all spamming, so it'd be redundant to make a separate vio for that. The idea is to condense vios and make sandbox/unranked more enjoyable.
