Two words:
Movie Spammers.
^This was taken not even 1 minute after joining the server.
Ever since General chat was removed from the public maps, Movie clips are the only ways of advertising roleplays. I have no problem with the normal people who post a clip, wait for a while, like five minutes or at least two minutes until they post the next...
BUT
I guess everyone has met the very determined and very persistent movie-maker crazed individuals who post the same movie six times after the other, no matter if their movie was flooded away or not. And not only one does this, but many more at the same time. You cant even RP without having to block movies, and cant chat without being interrupted by a huge block of these things from the same user when you are looking for roleplays so you dont want to block the clips...
And they even start a spamming war! Like, one of them starts spamming with three after the other, the other one will follow right after them... Some even -after making the clip- post twice or three times, just to be sure. Geez we saw that movie the first time too, thank you...
I guess we either need an advertising chat type, so in a way General brought back, but with a different name so it will be used for advertising -because really, the name 'general' wasnt helpful against spammers- or there should be some kind of limit put, so you could only be able to post a clip like... once every two or five mins....
So, what is your opinion on this matter? Are you guys finding them annoying as well, or you just block movies altogether? Do you have any advices how to solve this? Do you have screenshots of extreme movie spams? Share it with us!
