We are adding a simple question system for new users to help combat the bot problem. Players will not be able to chat until the question is answered. If you fail this captcha too many times it will result in a suspension. If you see a bot or scripter in game report them for spam, even if they aren't spamming. Any user that gets 3 reports for spam will be sent a captcha to verify them as a human.
We are also making a change to the ignore command to help users fight against these users. Ignoring a player now ignores their whispers as well.
Happy Hanging!
Still quiet a few bots. Mostly in casual and ranked practice.
I think it would be more effective to:
1)Have to answer a capcha anytime you are reported(once)
2)The capcha comes if you are reporting for any violation.
This seems like it would be more effective and even if a regular player is reported, i wouldn’t mind answering a capcha before every match to see the bots go.
If it would be possible even new players should do a capcha before they can join a game. This would stop new bot accounts.
Also: Block account creation from known bad emailsites (10minuteemail) and having to verify your account before you can play.
Thank you
