The 'spam' rule

[MetalHeadz]

As a few of you will know I was banned after the recent win against Pirates in a TWLB match for spamming. After the match I said 'gg' approximately 4-5 times which merited a 1 day ban. I think that this is so idiotic - I miss a TWLJ match later because of a natural response to winning a game we were the underdogs for. Spamming has always been a part of subspace especially after winning a match - indeed, this is the only time when it is really permissable in my opinion. So, although this ban is not going to be removed, I plea for future instances that this rule be abolished.

Sure I was stupid to spam, and I'm not going to say I wasn't aware of the spam rule, but I got carried away in the 'heat of the moment'...

twl rules suck but SLAM OWNS GG

not because I am on his team, but I have to agree with him here.

Spamming gg is a tradition. And back in the day even staff used to take part in it. I don't see how spamming hurts anyone, ever.

I remember staff actually put up a log of "gg" spam on forums one year when people did it, just to actually see how long it went on for.

This problem started pre-season twld.....but it is rediculous. Spamming gg? I can see if no one else is spamming gg......but when people are spamming it, why go through and look through every single person to count up how many times a player said it, then ban him. Thats rediculous. cmon guys, a little un-neccessary?

Rudy has said somewhere that a ban for spamming is not allowed until there's a warning 1st

way too power hungry. I'd love to meet you irl just to prove to myself you are power hungry. You probably are not a respected person irl (no offense, a lot of us arent that play this game), and thus you have no power so you use this game is a psychological "representation" of gaining what you miss out on in real life.

Nontheless, you did remove my ban for spamming preseason week 1, and I have not spammed gg since, which I appreciate you doing. I tend to take this frustration out on you Neth, but i'd still like to know why this rule stands - If everyone gets a laugh out of it........WHO CARES? Why does staff have to ruin a good time?
But not to blame you, the rule itself is way out of line. Who honestly cares about people spamming "gg" after a match. Honestly. Who cares? ITT (in this thread) state:

"I, the alias you use, care about people spamming "gg" after the twl matches." Then please state the reason why you care. ie....tw has to pay more bandwith money, the letters g and g hurt your eyes, or any other (legitamate hahahaha) reasons you have to make this claim.

exactly, me saying 'gg' affected nobody, absolutely nobody and it would not have been noticed if it wasn't for nethila looking for spam directly - after the spamming period was over I stopped my spam - aka I didn't continue excessively - and I was talking about the game to the Pirates players...I mean w/e u just ruined me having a good time (maybe Im taking this too personally) I just put lots of effort into a squad me+a few others started and I get prevented from playing over something so trivial...just a little infuriating

rules are rules

if this rule wasn't in place, you would see never-ending spam in those games that have over 100 people watching..

a staffer would always have to lock pubchat whenever that happens..

[Emaho]

why would you say "gg" four times anyway?
