@Levante Yeah, you can do that, but it would be even better if you made all chat unavailable until level 50. A new char can reach that level in a 1 or 2 hours, and I doubt we will be seeing any more bots in game.
Chat system sould have a bot detector, like in case a char shouts more than let's asume 100times /hour at quite peecise interval sould get auto-kick from game. For example a char can shout 3 times per minute, 180 times pe hour. If someone shout more than 100times with at least 50% same words - auto disconnect. If he get's 3 auto -disconnects he sould be checked for permanent ban. It's not a 100% bot solution but at aleast it will make the bots harder to shout. Channels sould be lvl 50-100+
I agree that there should be an automatic kick for spamming, but I wouldn't make it az complicated as listed above.
After 3rd server kick 1 day ban After 6th server kick 7 days ban After 9th server kick 30 days ban Next kick permanent ban (of course with ticket option for support)
Random suggestion: Enable shops in Valley Rift & add an agency and teleport npc. It would empty ardeca a bit and there should also be less spam problems since the characters have to be 150+.
Software exists to prevent DDOS (Dedicated Denial of Service) which identifies multiple attempts to access a website and block them to prevent the website crashing. Bots shouting multiple times in a short space of time is the same behaviour as DDoS. It would be possible to create in game risk rules to identify this type of activity and ban the perp until they can either prove they are a legit player or Papaya can check their activity logs to prove they are legit and lift the ban.
