I literally said people who talk in caps lock all game, Quartz. Not one or two messages. Stop pushing my post as bad because one or two messages with caps lock isn't spam. I literally said one or two is fine. It's people who leave caps on the whole game and might occasionally write in lowercase if they want to get around the caps lock filter. There's a reason the filter is there in the first place, but people still manage to get around it. And it's currently not against the rules to spam caps lock. That's the whole reason I made this post.

The problem with the spamming rule is that people just post something in caps 4 times.

"MY NAME IS VIGILANTE AND I AM THE MAYOR OF THIS TOWN TP/LO ON ME OR DIE TOMORROW!"
"MY NAME IS VIGILANTE AND I AM THE MAYOR OF THIS TOWN TP/LO ON ME OR DIE TOMORROW!"
"MY NAME IS VIGILANTE AND I AM THE MAYOR OF THIS TOWN TP/LO ON ME OR DIE TOMORROW!"
"MY NAME IS VIGILANTE AND I AM THE MAYOR OF THIS TOWN TP/LO ON ME OR DIE TOMORROW!"

Somehow this is not spam

The rules are the rules. It is not classified as spam however a common history of a player doing this could warrent a suspension take note. But this is of course the judges decision.

If it was classified as spam people would be punished for that frequently.

It is? Everytime people in game tell me "It's not spam until they do it 5 times in a row". And if they only do it once during D1 but they do it every game, they say that that's still allowed.

But it really gets on my nerves when you have like 5 people who do this and you get 20 lines of just full on caps mayhem

Yeah no spamming rules are and always have been too lenient. That's actually a pretty common situation in Coven All Any where you'll have guys spam the same message exactly 4 times per game in 3 different games.

well you don't have to worry as the rules are getting revamped soon, indicating the rules will now be more severe which should hopefully solve your problems!

The spamming rules don't need to be too severe, just less loopholes.

Change the numer and instead say somethig like "any sequence of messages which doesnt contributes to anything but flooding the chat is considered spam"

So coming d1 and say "YAYAYSYSYSYYSHSHSHSGAUGWJSHWJSHAJSVWUHWJEKRNNDKEJENEKRKEKBDJDKDBKSJSJWJS"
4 times and then d2 say something similar (although not equal) is considered spamming

Also sending all your messages in caps should be considered spam aswell

I mean just don't allow the same exact message 4 times. That's a loophole. Another loophole is spreading it across games, IE- copy and pasting the exact same message across 3-4 games.
Another loophole is changing 1-2 characters, normally replacing numbers. IE- "I saw 8 visit and kill 10!" and not a second later "I saw 10 visit and kill 8", of course that's a very basic example. If there's any particular rule that needs to be changed to catch more people, it's the spamming rule.
Because you know, spamming drastically impacts the game way more than leaving or gamethrowing, and we all know how hard they go on those.

The spamming guide needs to be more precise. As in a specific guideline for jurors and judges to follow in order to determine was is classified as spam. Elsewise there will be issues when it comes to determining what is considered spam which could cause split votes in the juror system.

why is there not a discussion board for each case in the juror system? this would allow jurors to communicate with each other and let judges see the jury's thoughts

I don't think that's what they meant. Anyways cob there is the ToS Discord Server where you can ask many questions and communicate over the reports if that's what you're requesting.

Maybe something like 4+ of the same messages per phase, or 10+ of the same messages per game?
Serial Killer has killed the TT Jailor... and now the Town has congratulated that serial killer for no reason.
That TT Jailor has a will covered in blood, making it unreadable...

That's just making things more strict and then someone can just loophole that too by doing 3 times the same message Day 1 and the cycle continues.

I would say that everyone is trying too hard to objectify a subjective thing. I equate spam to more of a smell test...you know it when you see it. If it stinks, it's bad. Everybody is looking for cut and dry parameters as to when something is going to be considered spam, when there is a subjective point that needs to be decided (trial system) if it's helping or hurting the game.

My suggestion is to let the automated spam system and reporting system take care of it. The automated system appears to be catching the most blatant spam attacks (warnings within the game to auto-suspension for continued abuse). If two or more people think that someone is spamming, let them report it and allow the jurors/judges to determine if it was spam as it relates to the game. Heck, increase the bar and make it 3 or 4 reports (just for spamming, though). Put out that these are the spamming guidelines and that you *may* be guilty of spam if you meet any of these conditions (current list seems appropriate). Let the judgement process determine if it was detrimental spam or was a part of the game. One final component that may be needed for reports is timestamps. 5 messages, one right after the other would be more detrimental than 5 messages spread out over the entire cycle, especially if the chat is particularly *chatty*. I disagree with the fact that some people who are trying to be heard in a noisy game and therefore say the same thing one time every 8 seconds gets suspended(triggering the 5 message rule) whereas someone else who spouts the same line 4 times in a row that has absolutely nothing to do with the game at hand does not.

Using caps all game or other ways of making your messages stick out basically turns the game into a listen to me game. No one likes playing with these players except the people who spam. People leave ranked because these players repeatedly get away with things that are quite clearly spam. I don't play as much because of it, and quite frankly, I'm about to stop entirely. It's not even a game anymore. It's a spam contest.

and so, the entire ranked community got banned
