So recently, there have been posts by a few various players, all suspected of being multis of player "sandrab". These posts have contained pornographic images that are inappropriate for minors. However, these players are also simply spamming the forums with these, and it is becoming quite a nuisance to scroll past all those pornographic images. So, here is how you get rid of them.

1. Find a post by one of these players, and click on profile. [The one at the bottom left hand corner of a post, the person in blue]

2. Click on "Add Foe" that comes up right under the players name. Make sure not press "Add Friend" by accident.

3. Click "Yes" on the next screen that shows up, which will be the confirmation screen.

Congratulations! Now, by default, all of the posts by the player you performed this process for will be hidden, and you need to click a button to see them. Enjoy!

as a note, if someone quotes someone you have as a foe, you still have to suffer.

Problem with this is that if they make a multi, this gets too repetitive.

Thank you! It seems reporting these type messages does no good so it is nice to know there is a way around scrolling past the crap

How to get rid of these posts from the start? Make it so you have to be at least level 25 or so to post on the forum. Annoy them for a while before they even get the chance to annoy us.

The real culprit is the ease with which a multi can be made, then post in the forum. The devs' decision not to immediately terminate the original multi making account but only give them a strike is the start of the game's multi problems. I was told this after reporting 3 very low level players holding many millions worth of gold for their gold protection capabilities during the first two weeks. A player gets three strikes. So I could make 2 multis, get small length suspensions, and not worry about losing my game's original account with all it's upgrades.

Another multi problem is with players who quit playing and give their password to another player to 'drive' the retired character. Essentially one active player logs on to other accounts to level(adding gxp), buff, and even help delevel enemies.

Multis have been a problem since day one. When the devs found players using multis for recruitment purposes and to take advantage of the free FSP offers they correctly decided to terminate all accounts immediately because it inhibits their revenues. ALL multis and their original accounts both need to be terminated immediately! The only way I've seen the devs catch them is when another player reports them. When two or more accounts use the same IP address there needs to be a program that flags them, terminates all accounts until it can be proven otherwise. There should be exceptions for accounts who regularly use public IP locations. This number cannot be that high. Most players play from home and/or work. This is purely only something the devs can, if they want, do something about. Until then all honest players who don't blatantly cheat must suffer, in the forum and in the game.

That sounds like a good idea, unortunately we dont have 24/7 mods.
Thanks for helping :)

Also remember if someone posts anything Offensive, flag it or let me know or report it to support.

Forn, thats the thing. It takes a LONG time to report something, when compared to the relative ease in which someone can post pornography. So basically, to keep the forums clean, we're gonna be wasting our time when we could just have forum mods, who could ban much quicker. I also think that forum mods would result in increased revenue for you guys, or rather, a decrease in the decreasing revenue from all the players leaving because of pornography.

yeah keep them Darm pics off this forum or I might be Quiting sooner or later and even though my age I spent at least over 100 dollars on this game, I've recommend at least 3 friends to the game (note I'm not a multi the only connection is me sending them gear to start and then them quiting (I didn't even recruit them)) and if this keeps happening I'm afraid your going to lose more than just a few players more like your whole "teen" group of players.
I would suggest that you DO NOT make a level to post on th forums (level 1s need help what do you think newbie help is for :roll: ) Possibly until level 10 they can only make posts in newbie help which is only viewable by level 1-10s and then so to speak a couple of players, "mods"

unfortunately we don't have 24/7 mods

This is, in itself, the problem. This is a 24/7 game. It needs 24/7 mods. I mean, even just hiring 2 interns, 1 for each of the 2 8-hour off-shifts, just to be mods.
