Chat Ideas

Global and room chats are always spammed with invitations to games, when it happens it's unpleasant because it destroys the flow of the chat, because it's nothing but a spam. Therefore, I suggest creating a new channel only for advertising games. Advertising a game outside of that channel will be accompanied by an automated or manual mute after 3 strikes.

great idea, would help us against spam tbh

I actually like this idea very much, support.

This is easy to implement. We just need two filters. the new filter is just for the new channel and allows game-links (/games/?link= and /games/?newlink=) only. the other filter block that code.

So we are talking about a universal/global chat available to anyone.

in essence global chat that instead of global chat will be called game advertisement and everyone without premium can use it. What could go wrong?

How is this your idea? Chess has said this multipletimes in the forums and in chats lol...

The admins will decide on what restrictions to impose on this channel. At the moment this is a preliminary idea of a problem that has been existing for a very long period of time, that has worsened Horatically since the release of HTML5, which pushed almost everyone to distribute links to their games.


The Global Chat can be used for jokes and occasional conversations. Among other things, it will be used for more serious things, such as posting a link to a thread, reporting players about what is happening in the game or outside, and searching for players for their own clan, hosting events, etc. It will be more pleasant to see the chat when there is no more spam that causes us to miss so many fun moments that we need to grow as a happy community .

Disagree with this idea to a certain extent, no one will see any of the advertisements unless the channel is automatically enabled and if it's NOT automatically enabled, the advertisements will be seen by probably 0.01% of people which makes the advertisements redundant

Supported.

I agree that it is unpleasant. So much so that I only enable clan and ally chat.

I'd have to conpletely disagree with this suggestion.

Adding another channel would make things too complex and unnecessary. There must only be two channels: game and lobby. That way, people can communicate with each other easily. The lobby chat will broadcast text accross all servers, whereas game chat is specific to each game.

This would simplify the convoluted system we currently have. I think many players would support this.

Spam is an essential part of atwar tradition. I am against this proposal

I agree spam is bad, I mean the thing that annoys me the most is the fact I read through text and every time people talk It goes to the bottom!

Another problem is people abuse chats, look at the help chat basically unused! Only thing we can do is have moderators who mod the chat. For them to do this they can't have attachments to other players. So I think more mods who actually give a shit about chat rules would be great

I agree with you. This moment when the chat goes down immediately as you roll the chat up or down while reading, is quite annoying. About your idea with the mods, I agree, but only partially. The chat will be boring and lifeless with the mods exercising their powers every time someone uses a different language for a moment, or speaks dirty language, or when there is a conversation about politics. But as for adding new mods, I support it.

Few minutes ago you sent me a private message in game that the idea would destroy the culture of aw. What culture? Culture of game links spam in room chat and global? When I asked you, "why?", you didn't reply.

One of the fun things about multiplayer games is the ability to communicate with other people. When there is spam, it's not as fun as it can be like I've explained with my first post in this thread.
Besides, I don't understand how adding nrw chat channel for exclusive use for posting games will make chat more complicated? It's a very simple thing. In addition, a good relationship in the community can help maintain the base of the players who will continue to visit the game to occasionally chat with their friends who are still playing here. And this will be achieved thanks to a healthy-spam free chat.

Mods also should consider it as solution to solve help chat spam. which has to be solved one way or another

You should be able to make a private chat room with a certain amount of players

I remember there was such an idea in the past and most people supported it. I'll add this to the original post with a link to the idea you mentioned. First I need to find it

Edit: I found it but unfortunately the creator of the thread deleted it. https://atwar-game.com/forum/topic.php?topic_id=5113
Ivan supported the idea too. Luckily Croat made a similar thread, I'll add his

Oy vey, I support.

Supported

OR. You can just mute the chats so you can speak without all the spamming. Why do you have to make it so complicated? But I do agree with the private room with a certain amount of players and the other stuff you sir, think outside the box.

oh we have a new mod incoming..

Ye it's annoying to talk with people in room chat while someone adverting some ww2 RP

Not being funny hdrakon, new players don't know how to use chat channels, so that's needs to be taken into consideration!
