punishment for spam

owtlet · started 2017-07-09 00:23 · updated 2019-07-25 02:48

There needs to be a consequence for spamming.

I propose a feature that detects when people are posting the exact same thing multiple times, and temporarily removes their ability to type, like on rabb (the 'cooldown'). the more they do this, the time between when they can type again increases.

I am really annoyed that any wall I go to, I see the same people posting the same links there. In FAQ , it is clearly stated that spamming is not the correct way to promote music. I would like to see repeat offenders punished.

i dont think this is very much of a big problem, can't we just ignore spammers?

Fluent I see were your coming from it get REALLY ANNOYING. But what if you wanna post it on your wall every now and then? Wouldnt that affect you for spamming on your own wall?

vvv they could just somehow make it not apply to someone's own profile when they're doing it on their own wall

but what's the point of taking these extreme measures anyway? its a total waste of time, can't u just delete the comments or mute the user that put them there and just unmute them later once u think it's been long enough for them to have learned their lesson?

But people need to realize that spamming isnt tolerated on AT. Everyone thinks they can get away with it. See there some people like myself that ask's if a certain user will post their track on my wall when ever they pub.

I wouldnt mind the whole posting things on peoples walls, but some people just take it overboard and do it over and over, yeah we can mute but that never works they make alt account and do it again, or you have the people that just post meme's on your wall and think its a joke.

but who cares if they get away with spamming? it really isnt that bad, is it?
and is it really that bad to have to mute multiple accounts? eventually whoever that person is will get bored of spamming u anyway, and it literally takes 2 clicks on someone's comment to mute them

btw memes actually ARE jokes, its just that some are so popular they end up getting spammed almost everywhere

none of these are extreme

extreme would be disabling their ability to type permanently or deleting their account

it would not affect you typing on your own wall, obviously...@reyann

yes, people who are excessively spamming their tracks on a lot of users walls, can be annoying.
This kind of spamming is not a crime, and for now , I suggest you to simply ignore or mute the person, who is spamming.
If you encounter someone spamming inappropriate content, then you should report the user.

Spamming ain't really bad... But i don't recommend it. You can just ask people to check out your stuff. This feature is too far and sucks complete dick.
