I play Trimps on kongregate and see at least 3 Reflinks to Avabur each day. Goo.gl statistics say, that he is doing that for quite some time: goo.gl/#analytics/goo.gl/X839yb/all_time(was the URL of the last spammer) Is that how avabur wants to be seen in the public? I am never going to play a game, where the team does not forbid that. Reflinks have a purpose, but it is not to encourage spamming. I am annoyed. |

Kongregate chat should perhaps get active moderation to prevent such spam. We do not police other games/chats.

Do you have an explanation, why there are so many games with referral function, but I see only avabur links in the kongregate chat?

It's such a good game that everyone wants to get their reflinks in? Any reflink encourages spamming to some degree- but as Gandor says why should it be down to the staff of this game to be moderating other chats, surely a site like Kongregate would have some sort of procedure in place to deal with such spam.

I agree, Kongregate should have a mechanism to prevent spam from new accounts. Reporting them is too late and they can just make a new account. That's kongregates fault, not yours.
You don't have to spam to promote your reflink. I wouldn't be here, if they were actually talking about that game, tell us why it is so good, help new referrals with their first steps and so on. But they don't. They just copy paste a message with their reflink and leave.
Maybe I should start to create 5 new accounts here each day to promote random games...

Meh, our staff aren't incompetent, you'll be dealt with pretty rapidly if you're spamming your links.
Your problem is with the people posting the reflinks then- I personally don't share mine, and by no means is spamming encouraged. Don't take your frustration out on the game when it is the players that are the ones doing it. I understand why you would be annoyed but there really isn't much that can be done on this side.
