Thanks, Skylexia! This was much needed.

 

Thanks for Informing us sky :D

 

Just a question, so you have top wait three minutes before you post something again?

 

Ahh finally we get some more rules. Too many macro spammers. Thanks Sky!

 

3 minutes is a VERY long time. I normally have to broadcast an e-repair message 6 or 7 times before I get a response. 21 minutes is a long time to wait for a repair.

 

Thank the gods of...Oh wait, no, thanks Sky :D

 

If everybody made two ads every 35-60 seconds on a loop, the chatbox would fly by so fast it would be a blur.

At spawn local during peak hours the chat box was moving at such a speed that it was very challenging to read it all. Is that how we want to greet new builders? I say no. This change gets my thumbs up.

 

now i have to edit alll my advertising macros and change them alll to like 2 mins and OMG what an effort :|

first world problems

 

It was probably changed because of you! No, I play I play, jk jk. Nickla, its fine, just revert your macros to make them smaller, and why must you always advertise them together? Advertise them individually :p, hope that might solve some of your first world problems.
Matt :)

 

-.- Must wait until I get home to watch this, it sucks :/ (My school blocked youtube)

 

So let me get this straight.

Ads have to be two lines at most? Or two posts (with 2 lines each) at most?

And...like 3-5 minutes in between?

What if I have a really short, one liner ad, 3-5 minute rule still counts then?

 

They may be NO LONGER THAN 2 UNIQUE MESSAGES, which means you can put only 2 words in each of your unique messages and it still counts as your 2 unique messages.

The 3-5 minute rule still applies, even if you only have a one liner ad.

 

Oh cool. My unofficial trade chat rule I was modding off of became official. Anyhow I like this. Trade chat macro spam gets very annoying after a while.

 

:3 I personally think that 3 minutes between advertising is a bit too much

 

3 minutes? I think that's too long. How about 1-2 minutes?

 

So it is two "type, then hit enter" messages?

 

I'm confused please help me.

 

The reason it was three-five minutes is due to how spammy the current trade chat was. I myself use to have my adverts on 2400t (2 minutes), but many users said it was "too long" and went between anywhere from 30-90 seconds. Though after the staff discussed the issue, and knowing the frequency of messages from users who use macro advertisements commonly, it was decided three-five minutes was the best time to let the message get across, and reduce spam. While the timing may change in the future, the current time that was decided on will stay for now to see how it works out.

By "messages" we mean every time you hit enter to send the message, it counts as one, no matter the length of what was sent. Please note that they needs to be two unique messages, as a full message to fix on typo, or double posting the same message twice may count as spam.

If you need help understanding the rule, you need to ask exactly what you aren't understanding about it, hopefully what I posted above explains it, but I cannot be sure without knowing what you don't understand.
