I feel that the people pay a decent amount for 1 shout and it is up to them (following basic rules) what they use it for. -1

 

It's highly understandable that people pay 1k for a shout. But the fact that they spam them 5-10 times, and multiple people sometimes spam the same shout. Which is totally unreasonable whether they are paying for it or not. One shout should get the job done, and most shouts have no point. That's like saying in a ban appeal "I am very sorry from spamming, you can take some money from my bal to compensate"

 

Clause 1.3

• Spamming either shouts or lottery is allowed to an extent. Excessive use of either command which results in chat being hard to read may result in a warning or a kick from the Staff.

But feel free to screenshot and file a complaint, but if it fills the screen, then it's against the rules as it violates the rule above

 

But in all seriousness, I've never seen an issue with it, and I don't think anything should be done about it really. If people want to be like that, there's nothing you can do about it. As my great grandfather said, "If someone wants to get into your house, they're gonna get into your house, somehow, someway".

 

It should stay the same. Its been like this for years and I dont mind it

 

Shouts can be annoying, however, I rarely notice any shouts nowadays.

 

agreed

 

I think that a bit of spam every now and then is worth it if it is keeping the economy in check.

 

But unfortunately, $20,000 in shouts does nothing but balance out four or five SG games nowadays.

 

Well... you know...better than nothing. I guess. Sg is so depressing now :(

 

It definitely seems like people's attitudes have changed more than the rules. Back in the golden age, guys like Harryhaz1 would spam shout 72k worth of shouts within a couple minutes and we'd just be like "Oh Harry, you're so silly"

But I agree that we should be able to ignore shouts

 

Shouts can be annoying when they are used for no apparent reason. Messages with loads of colours and random statements.

They are however a good advertising tool for events and such.

 

ABSOLUTELY -1. You are off your rocker good sir

 

I think all these people should rot in...

Well, to keep it clean, I agree entirely.

 

No u

 

People pay for the use of /shout. If you are having to pay $1000, the entire server needs to see it. This suggestion was already rejected and this won't happen. As for shouts being removed, that won't happen either. I think the best idea is to increase the cost of shouts.
