12. Spamming - Updated 8/18/2014
Disrupting a game by repeated posting or posting nonsensically. More than 3 posts in a row can be considered spam (if all say the same thing... or more than 5 posts if they say different things), as can posting the same thing repeatedly, even if there are other posts in between. *KEY CEREMONIES IN ROOKIES ARE OK.* We will not ban for spam in games where number of comments don't effect the outcome unless spam is excessive and disruptive.
First offense = Warning (unless it's excessive and deliberate... if you say "I am spamming," then it's deliberate, as is posting the same thing repeatedly). Second offense (or first, if spam is deliberate/excessive) = 1-day ban. Third offense = 2-day ban. Subsequent offenses = 3-day ban + 1-week red nose and upward. Details here:
It was. Definitely something our team strayed away from because it seemed like an entirely unnecessary reason to ban somebody. In my experience, it only ever caused noobs to get banned for posting 4 times in a row in a castings or something.
There are niche areas where it could come back up (not as a rule) but it'd be after many warnings.
I feel like the intention was to stop people from LITERALLY spamming the same message/ photo with no message over and over. Still extreme to be a ban for that tho lol
