Level 5 whisper restriction / Password reset spam!

Recommended Posts

Please please please limit whispers to level 5+ characters only, ive been getting spammed every 5 mins from fresh level 1 random names telling me to buy gold. Then every 10 mins i get the "PLEASE RESET YOUR PASSWORD" yellow message in my chat, please fix that too.

God Bless!

Look. I get that people don't like spam in any form. But, when the db leak happened on the other server that caused so many people to have their accounts hacked here, this is exactly what everyone said that the staff should have done. Because evidently, no one checks main page, forums, twitter, or reddit. So basically, people are just getting what they asked for.

why was the whisper restriction removed and why doesn't .wr on work?

It still works fine for me.

What exactly are you supposed to type and where are you supposed to type it to get .wr on to work?

I've tried so many times and got nowhere with it.

Whisper Restriction is bad for other reasons though.

I LOVE Spamthrottle.  After I installed it and set up a few words in the options, I've yet to get anymore gold whispers.

I agree with both points above, Whisper restriction can fuck you out of real whispers and spamthrottle is awesome but it really doesn't solve the root of the problem. No one should be able to make level 1s and then whisper 1000's of people across the server with gold spam, there NEEDS to be a level restriction on whispers and i hope we get one in the future.

Spam Throttle takes care off all unwanted whispers.  But unfortunately it doesnt work with the change password spam system message. This is really annoying. I mean you could set it up that it is displayed when logging in.... or you planning to continue this spam every 10minutes forever? Every half-active player should know by now! Please stop it

Sems to be that they whisper in alphabet order.
So if you character is "BSomething" will get whispered more often than "Vsomething"

just speculations.

The .wr command is really not needed anymore, imo.

-Spam Throttle takes care of whispers and you can set up your own filters for added functionality.

-CT_MailMod fixes the mail spam. You will still have the "you have mail" icon on your minimap all the time, but when you open it you will only see mail that has attachments--the only mail most of us actually care about.

I hope people adopt this addon, or those similar, so we can be rid of the .wr plague on the server that interferes with legitimate whispers. I can't tell you how many people have missed out on groups and stuff because I couldn't whisper them.

I would love to see more options added to .wr

like typing .wr15

would allow only players of lvl 15-60 to msg you +your friends list+guildmates

typing wr50 would be 50-60 whispers only etc
