I don't mean to offend, but after that "Update on News Concerning Chat Spammers" thread over a month ago, we've had no further progress, not even a sign of action. Can we have an extra update on this? And an ETA on when something can be done.

Secondarily, some messaging problems that plague us:

CENSORSHIP

Words like "tit" and "ass" are censored. While "fuck" being censored isn't unusual, when these words get censored unintentionally:

Classic
Competition
Password (Okay this is just because of the prevalence of chat spammers)

are some off the top of my head - basically, these words are just annoying to have random censors on.

My suggestion? Keep censors to standardised swear words...people will naturally filter dodge by saying fvck you or f u c k you anyway, so I wouldn't say it's an effective moderation system.

MESSAGING

If you ever let off your code in SE Chat, you are screwed. No, seriously. People start spamming you with messages and it sucks to try talk to someone and a new window pops up. If you've ever watched WyzDM's streams, you can see the amount of people on his messaging. I won't name names here, but let's say I've got a few of my own doing that to me as well.

Please add some way of muting.

Keep up the good work, but get a solution for this fast. It's frustrating.

Thanks, DAZ.

I'm not at work today so I can't ask about this, but I will try to remember tomorrow to bring this up. Everyone's priorities are stretched a bit thin because it's a small team working on a few different projects at the moment, so I can't guarantee any sort of time frame. I'll at least let them know and they will decide how to prioritize it.

It was on the to-do list already when I came in this morning so they're well aware. They mentioned some time next week is when they are planning to get to this.

Good to hear that, so they actually have it all in mind. Good for us.

Been like 2 months, no updates for the game either...can we get some PR for SE here? More reliable support replies + dev communication would be really appreciated...especially when a time given is exceeded by this much.

Btw; hardcapping character limit in chat instead of removing the entire msg would be nice, same with removing the ability of clears and a /ban [nick] command.

Wouldn't it be better if we can decide to accept/decline friend request than just people blatantly adding others with just their codes?

People ask for my code, I decline that offer. I'm afraid of getting spammed.

I always give my code freely and tell them not to send game invs because I won't accept, and if they spam me in chat even after I tell them to stop, I just minus the chat. I've had no problem at all this way~

Maybe because no one knows who you are. (No offense)

Lul I actively brag of my profile because it's in my personality. It's safe to say people know me(go to chat when I'm on)

You should watch WyzDM's stream sometime.

Back to point - it's been 2 months from "sometime next week", what's up?
