Or offer a report facility for those who are posting their referral URLs everywhere: www.avabur.com/?ref=5874Referral links in game are outdated, encourage spam, and without the facility to report those who are spamming, the easiest way is often just to cut off the game itself rather than the players. |

Agreed. And although referral links will increase your player base on the short term (most players will not hang out long anyway), on the long term it will give you a bad reputation and will attract multies.
But I don't think staff of this game really cares about their reputation, but only about making money.

Get a chat system that prevents spam. This isn't our problem, it's yours.

Actually I agree that we should have a way to report people (to our staff) that are being annoying and spammy. It's not very classy to allow them to romp all over other sites, breaking those sites rules and getting rewarded for it.
Most of the places I'm seeing it DO have rules against spam and DO constantly ban the accounts. They just keep making more. It's annoying, even as someone who already plays the game. I don't want to be harassed on every other game I play.

Rules against spam don't prevent spam. They need a system in place that actually stops it from happening. I know it's annoying but we will NOT police other games' chats for them.

But they are your members and you should be policing them and how they represent the game. Period. They are the ones creating the image of this site. Read: They are -ruining- the image of this site.
All I keep hearing is how you want this game to be different/better/etc. But you're making the same exact mistakes that make people hate these types of games. And you're rewarding people for being obnoxious and rude.
Saying 'you know its annoying' does not absolve you from a duty as a staff member to control your member base.

We can't control people that decide to be dickheads outside of the game. We aren't a school that takes responsibility for children that their parents send them to. This wouldn't be an issue if the chats and games with the problem had a method to prevent abuse. I don't care if you think I suck because I won't step in to slap somebody for spamming somewhere. I've said before I don't encourage it, and if that isn't enough for you I'm not sorry.
Also they're not "my" members, they're just people that decide to play a video game. Stop taking it too seriously or you will live a very stressful life. Tell people to fix their chats instead of trying to stir shit up here. I'm not going to lock or delete this thread, you are totally free to voice your concerns and opinions about any and all game-related issues. If any other staff member wants to chime in they certainly are free to do so, I just can't be arsed to care about a bad chat system that has no way to prevent spam.

Bringing new members keeps the game alive.
Noone wants to be rank #1 if he plays solo and Vysn obviously has to make a profit.

LOL! To add to what Gandor said, In reality, it should be up to those "other sites" to police things like spam and referral links, not the staff of Avabur. you do realize how time consuming and near impossible it would be for the staff of avabur (Specially considering its size) to police ALL the other sites out there for referral spammers? Most other sites/forums have rules in place against this sort of thing, and should have staff to handle things like this on their own. |
