Automatic Spam Ban... Didn't spam.

Post by Creadae »

Hey there,

I was just kicked out of the game for 5 hours for spamming. However, I actually didn't spam; I died, and strangely my client sent a flood of "#flar" messages to the game all at once. My client occasionally sends strange input to the game, like periodically casting #itenplz, but this is the first time it's flooded the game with a bunch of spells at once.

So I have two problems:
1) Is it possible to get my account (Creade) reinstated before 5 hours? I just took some iron ore from someone to convert and they're going to think I ditched them. I understand if this isn't possible, but it would be appreciated!

2) Has anyone else experienced this sort of problem? It was manageable at first (a couple deaths to a mistaken itenplz here and there, but nothing *too* major)... but now it's getting out of hand.

Thanks so much! :)

i was there and you are right about the flar. The ban is one hour though, i checked the gm log.

also, i see no GM on duty. it looks like it will be an hour.

the second part sounds like lag. when nothing happens, you resends the command and when the lag shops they all arive at once and cause a ban. This is know to happen, but likely nothin can be done to fix it.

if i know the name i could relay for you

Ah. Thanks Dayve!

It must be a timezone thing then... 1 hour is much better than 5 =p I think the guy's name is Mofus. If you happen to run into him could you let him know I didn't run off with his ore! I'll give him a few extra when I see him again!

As for the client, the strange thing is that I didn't cast #flar at all. Nor do I have it set as a shortcut, so I didn't hit it by accident. It just up and started casting... weird.

Thanks so much :)

I got back in.

Thanks everyone! I'm still sort of confused about the client issue... so if anyone has any suggestions on a fix, please let me know.

:)

Since the hour is obviously up, I see noe more use for this thread. If you want to talk about the autoban system, please do it in another forum, like Player Talk.
