Playerworld advertising
 
A couple of playerworlds staff have been going to other servers and spamming about their playerworld over masses and normal pms. I'm not aware of the current rule but it's gotten really annoying seeing as it just isn't one person, it's multiple people, most of which are staff for the playerworld they're advertising. I'm not sure of the success of this method of advertising but it's become really annoying to log onto your favorite server, turn on masses to sell something or for whatever reason, and getting spammed to hell with playerworlds seeking staff or seeking playercount. It's even worse when you get pms from individual people about a playerworld, you tell them you're not interested and to stop spamming you, and you get insulted or sworn at for the next half hour while on RC. >:( Put a stop to the mindless spamming of advertisements in exchange for items on other servers. (Or so I've heard)

I think this is illegal in some servers, but others allow it, just turn off your mass pm controls and you will stop recieving mass pms.

If you dont want that stuff on your server, jail/ban them.

Yeah advertising other servers like that is up to a server's rules. Though if you think about it, if they don't stop after you tell them then it's harassment.

Lol, well, yeah.. but in a VERY mild way.

I always get people who argue with me about it...and then I disconnect them.

Well if they keep pming you over and over with different accounts it is harassment.

Well that cannot be fixed, its up to the staff of that server to take action. The only other way would be to have a control where you can ignore their computer meaning every account they have.
