[Complaint]

Felon Username: Various people who won't be named this time.

Complaint: Players have been spamming lottery and shouts excessively lately.

Shouts cannot be ignored and take up a lot of chat space when repetead over and over.

Players are able to buy multiple lottery tickets by typing /lot buy ###. Instead, the same players are buying tons of individual tickets thus causing spam and making this server unenjoyable to play on during that time frame, at least for me and my friends. Personally I have options to sort this stuff into different physical windows, however most of the players who I play with do not have this ability and it's frustrating as fiddlesticks to try to communicate with them on EcoCityCraft.

I am aware of the /lot messages command but then I don't want to miss out on everything either.

Can we try to work on preventing this problem? I'm quite aggravated by this ongoing issue.

With the new hunger games announcements and lucky voter notices, this growing mmo needs to emphasize the no spam policies before it gets completely out of hand. Furthermore, we're certainly not attracting new members to our community when they join a server that floods their screen with spam and the operators are complacent with it.
