In my opinion, any continually repeating posts that are fairly similar, that are disruptive to other conversations, and are not themselves part of a serious conversation, can be considered spam.

I think this will always be a grey area to call. I’d rather see the ability to tempmute or tempkick a player from IDC than outright bannning.

This is really subjective definition. I’m not trying to be a male reproductive organ, honest, I could apply this to IDC in general and ban everyone.

Also by your definition, I can not role play in IDC, because my character wants to **** dolphins, and no one will take this as a “serious conversation” and might find this disruptive to their boring non-dolphin-****ing conversation. So, if my character were to say “I want to **** a dolphin”, “Man, I’d really love some dolphin woman's genitals right now”, “Hey guys, have you ever ****ed a dolphin”, “Man, dolphin woman's genitalss sure are great, I’d like to put my male reproductive organ in one right now”, etc. this is a repetitive message that is disrupting conversations. But really, it’s just good role play.

Again, the easiest solution to implement is “Ignore”.

A better solution is additional channels, including one that is unmoderated.

A better punishment is a gag/mute feature, because really, banning a player from doing anything on the site because they disrupted the chat area, that is never a real part of gameplay, ever, is overkill.

The easiest punishment is to go back to not moderating IDC.

But let’s not forget the point of the thread – which wasn’t to discuss what the best solution might be… it was to get finite restrictions.
