Spam/Flood

I believe there should be a warning to people if they send 3 or more messages at a time. This way, no one can spam peoples inboxes, or spam the main chat. And if they continue, it's a kick, then a ban.

Not only that, but I'd also like to point out the fact of cussing. People usually get around the filter by just saying the letter multiple times. For example "wwwwwoooorrrdddd" I was wondering if this will be fixed in the filter update? If not, it's really a big problem. Like I said, you guys could just make it so that people cant type 3 letters repeatedly

I really hope they do fix the spam/flood that happens in the Chat Log and Private Chat. I have seen a couple of users cussing on the game, I have asked them to not do that, but I can't stop them. I really hope the Chat Filter Update comes out soon.

If you see a user cussing in the game, take a screenshot and post it here. We'll ban the user.

I think you should PM them to Tony because if everyone posts them here, most of them wont be appropriate for younger players, but yeh I will look out too for naughty dragons :)

Cool thanks, we banned those users. If you can in the future, PM Mark or Jake and they can handle banning members.

Thanks Tony! Such a shame that people take advantage of a new game in the wrong ways.

The game will occasionally have people like that. Hopefully Mark and I are able to snuff most of them out.

Kingdom Island could use a reporting system but until then, we can use the Private Messaging system built into the forum.

Just to let everyone know that we are aware of this issue. The next update to the filters will be a big one and that will hopefully deal with most of the bad language issues as well as to stop people flooding the chat.
