hello fellers,

ok i have a scenario.

lets say i was caught spamming in the lobby. should be be:
a) kicked from the server immediately
b) muted and then kicked if i continue

[Adamp]

kicked from the server immediately

[KillerPig]

no because i could just come back again and continue spamming???

[Adamp]

no because i could just come back again and continue spamming???

continue kicking until they can't be bothered to come back for a while

[Cooky]

if it was up to me I would mute them, if you kick them they can just come back..

[frog]

+1 for "b" choice

[Dewo]

I would do both. Mute, if it's an obv. spammer. Kick, if the person is trying to bypass the sytem. I would then mute the person, if he/she continues after the kick. That's not a specific rotation. It could easily be the other way around.

[KillerPig]

but why kick first when u can mute and solve the problem immediately

[Dewo]

Just to warn the person, like a mute would. That's why I said it's not a specific rotation. It can easily be changed on.
@Cooky, What if this person keeps on spamming after the mute? Sure, you will just kick, but what if the person keeps on spamming. That's where  I would report it to a GM or an admin. Just like I would, if  a mute was given.

[KillerPig]

how could they continue to spam if theyve been muted 

[Dewo]

how could they continue to spam if theyve been muted 

You know what I meant.

[KillerPig]

actually no i dont 

[Dewo]

actually no i dont 

After the 20 min. 

[KillerPig]

oya forgot to argue a few things

Just to warn the person, like a mute would.

nono. warning is just to warn the person. muting and kicking are forms of punishment

actually no i dont  

After the 20 min.  

just mute again???

kicking shouldnt be a form of punishment in regards to spamming. they can log right back in and continue where they left off.
well, unless u have some nab spamming people through whisper

[Selene]

When I was a Mod and someone was spamming I would just warn he/she. If he/she continued they would be muted and after the 20minutes goes by if they spamed again I would mute and report to a GM or Admin.

I kinda understand Dewo way of muting thing.... But it's basically saying "Stop spamming or you will be muted"
So I rather say "stop spamming or you will be muted" then kicking he/she.
Muting is just simply faster and makes the person shut up; and don't have to worry about the spammer for 20 minutes.
