RP REQUEST SPAMMERS
Posted: Thu Dec 24, 2020 12:56 am
I've been getting an alarming number of reports and complaints from users that I know or that I've personally brought onto this board from other sites. It seems that a significant amount of RP addicts are sending out RP requests to every new user and everyone they see online.
I made a secondary account a few days ago just to experience what new users are experiencing, and sure enough, numerous RP requests immediately started making their way into my inbox.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
I'm serious. The administration team is well aware of who is doing the spamming, and has removed and IP banned one of the top RP request spammers just last week. There will be more suspensions if this practice doesn't stop.
Readers are creating accounts on here to read stories, and are being distracted by numerous PM RP requests almost immediately after signing up. This stops now.
Those who want to RP have posted their info and willingness to do so on the RP section or in their intro post.
STICK TO THAT LIST.
Sending RP requests to users you get along with or have taken the time to know a bit is fine.
But RP-farming new users that just set foot on the site is NOT.
The team will be monitoring this practice very closely and setting up fake new accounts on a regular basis to fish out those RP-request spammers.
The forum is setup for your enjoyment.
Do NOT abuse it.
