Nostalrius Begins - Quality wow vanilla realm (1.12)

look i know nobody likes spam. This seems a little to harsh of a punishment for spam though... I can't gchat, whisper, or emote... I can't do anything that uses chat box. I can only communicate through mail or guild notes. At least restore my whisper privs and guild chat privs so the game is at least playable. I can't do shit in the game that requires a group. This punishment would be acceptable for /trade /gen and /world but everything? At least shorten the time to a couple hours and not 2days!!!

Be happy It aint active playtime tho

The whole point of a punishment is to make it sting. If you weren't upset enough to post on this forum then it wouldn't stop you from doing it again in the future now would it?

Aw, poor spammer doesn't like his punishment?

I don't know why, but I read that in the way you do, when you talk down to someone with this baby voice with a twist of sarcasm.

Then I wrote it down the right way.

4000 minutes = 66.6667 hours or 2.78 days. Seems like the punishment fits the crime, think before you spam next time.

This was never supposed to last 4k minutes, but during yesterdays running back and forth trying to help everyone that was dying upon entering instances I had no time to stop and talk with a spammer and just threw a random number at this player. The mute was lifted after a couple hours, as per usual with first offenses. You WILL get 4k minutes if you do it again though.

While nobody likes spammers, and we appreciate them being dealt with, it seems a bit tyrannical to just throw a random number out because you were busy. Rules should be well established with what constitutes spam and other offenses with degrees of punishments. Unless of course the managers of this server prefer a wild wild west style of order, in which case, let the games begin.

I strongly disagree. Well established rules never work because people aren't stupid and find loop holes or ways around them. This leads to more complicated rules and it restricts GM's ability to make this an enjoyable place to play. If we were talking about IRL with punishments like jail time or death row, then yes, well established rules are a good thing. It's a private game server, if someone receives a slightly too-harsh punishment when they were obviously being a jackass, I don't think they deserve any sympathy.
