Name Linking broken

[DahTeddy]

Name linking is broken... Again.

[Stormaggedon]

If players wouldn't abuse it, we wouldn't have to keep turning it off.

[DahTeddy]

Abusing it how?

[BrotherVT]

Abusing it to the point where players are using it to avoid the language filter.

[DahTeddy]

Awwwh >.< Is there a way to change that? Or is it just not gonna work?

[BrotherVT]

We'll see what will happen.

It's actually quite helpful, linking players is an undeniable resource that helps with viewing people who aren't on the rankings lists or your friends list.
Examples:
People in my guild want to show a player that PK'd them, to show they have a PK level, so I know who killed them and what guild etc.
To view their gears, see how much p-atk they have.
I can't think of more right now but I'm sure people could add to it.

People will filter-dodge either way with periods, space, alt keys and such.
They'll also filter dodge with the other codes that allow linking. Location linking, NPC linking, etc.
There are also many words containing censored words that aren't considered a swear such as advisement, amusement, cucumbers, accumulate, population, the list goes on and on.

I can go on and on also about other stuff that should be removed in this game perm. that are causing more harm than linking names, such as these spoof packs. People on my server have rivalries with other players, so they decide to kill their shops in Starglade with these packs. Since people aren't too active in my server anymore since it has yet to merge, it takes a while for people to come by and kill them, we barely have any shops up as it is, so they kill them all and leave. Why don't you remove this instead of something HELPFUL to our players. Geezus. x_x

agreed here, people will avoid the filters to curse one way or another. Removing the way that was actually helpful to the other players is only obstructing.
If you want people to stop cursing at all you'll need a person to view and maintain order of chats, which was something that couldn't be done before because too much work monitoring (eventho, just an hour a day or something during the peakhours is too much). So filters will forever be avoided, they'll think of a new way every time. If can't say "sillypants" they'll make it "s!llyp@nts", annoying as hell to read on top of all but hey no spam-filter will take that down.

People avoid the filters anyway, on our server it's VERY rarely done by abusing links. However, bugging the chat is done a lot, so perhaps that bug should be worked out. I also agree some monitoring, even by (trusted) players would certainly not be a bad thing. Besides, the language isn't even the part that is that bad, lots of people curse (now and then). It's the verbal abuse, spamming, IRL threats, etc. that need to be taken care of and people don't need links for that.

Totally agreed with the 3 people above me.
The linking function is really usefull! and everyone can avoid the censorship anyway.
so you basically annoy the normal players more by disabling it than helping them.
perhaps putting a more severe punishment on people who abuse the linking system would help.
