The chat room for colony needs a moderator or at least a timer so you can't send so many messages. And maybe even sniff out the hackers. Today in the chat room some annoying guy was saying this:
idk1234567: s idk1234567: wd idk1234567: w idk1234567: w idk1234567: w idk1234567: dw idk1234567: dw idk1234567: dw idk1234567: dwd idk1234567: w idk1234567: dwdw idk1234567: dw idk1234567: dw
There are a few problems with that. 1) There are few moderators on Armor Games and most of them have jobs and/or school. 2) There are many multiplayer rooms on Colony, so expecting a moderator for every room is silly. 3) With using this then every multiplayer game on Armor Games with a chat needs moderators.
There are several ways you can report people on Colony. If they are signed in and you have a screen shot of it you can report it to an administrator. You can also mute people on Colony, if I recall correctly.
Well you are right ghost... But, only the main lobby is used, the other chat rooms(for the home for multiplayer) are generally not used... only for people who want to talk to each other by themselves...
So it wouldn't be hard to put a couple moderators in the lobby at colony at all.
Isn't there a mute button in the game? If so, utilize it. Many others have complained about spam/flaming/trolling/etc.. in Exit Path, but there's nothing much AG can do about the problem. If they are spamming; mute them. If they are flaming you and they are logged into their account; take a screen shot then show it to an administrator so they can take action. Or just mute them.
There is no mute button in colony (that i know of, spent a few minutes scrounging around for one button didn't find). Colony is an old game, it is too late for any major changes to occur. Just have to wait until Krin makes a new game.
Hackers that bypass the spam filter shouldn't effect the chat rooms that much. The community is too stupid to move to another chat room when a hacker attacks. Yes we do report hackers to the admins, who then ban them.
Colony has a mute feature but only stops private messages.
Colony can always be updated. Krin would need a reason or a list a reason to update the game.
Colony moderators is a bad idea. There are only 4 people in the community that are mature enough to be mods. Only 2 of these users use the AG forums, while the other 2 just play the game. The fact is, the community has to earn the right to have a moderator, and that is a long time away.
cloverchips, it has nothing to do with threats, but its spam. In Colony a player, using a hack to bypass the spam filter, can relentlessly spam messages. There are users that do this for hours. This endless spam instantly removes any message that gets posted. In the end, the community drastically declines because people can't talk about strategy, matchmaking, etc.
