Blocking Spammers Issues

[SD]DamonX · Post by **[SD]DamonX** » Fri Dec 21, 2007 1:44 am

Some intelligent spammers in hotan (surely other towns) are getting their names like this : lllllllll , to confuse ppl. But, is it i or L?? I had a great idea and i can still block them now. My idea is, i pm'ed tht guy by clicking on his name, then i delete the last letter and tried to put a lil L (l). I tried to say sumthing to him and it didnt work. I tried a big i (l) and it works

. Then I did the same to the others letters and now I can block all spammers!

Hope it will help some!

Btw, the one in pacific, hotan, his name is __iiLLiLLi__ ! The spammer standing between the stable and xmas tree.

seems like a bit much work to block a single spammer

What if another IIlIlIIlI or whatever guy existed and you accidentally PM'ed him? I wonder if any legit players put their name like that.

Chances are low, very low. If they are rlly intelligent, they will all go like tht llllllllllll all spammers, it could be a nightmare >.<

See the button under "backspace"? Click shift and click that. |||||| Is that what you are seeing?
