Welcome to the second edition of Ban Hammer, AtWar's only newspaper! Today we dive into some controversial ideas and changes that I have picked up from some respected members of the community. Do note this is a serious topic, so if you are Pavle click here.

The article is about the current state of the game and some fixes and/or improvements that should be implemented into the game as soon as possible. Note most of the ideas here are not mine, I have merely expanded upon them.

Help channel spam

As you know may have guess I am a moderator and that means I have access to some really cool features, so let me bombard you with some numbers. All the information below are from 1 particular day(23/1/2016).

The numbers speak for themselves. Help chat is the global for non-premiums. It's possibly the most inefficient way to address a player's problem and is the perfect breeding ground for alternates to spam. I've included players telling others not to spam help chat as spam. 85% of other accounts are ranked between rank 0 and 7.

Now numbers don't lie. Help chat is ridiculously inefficient and causes more problems than it solves. It needs a replacement and that's where the idea comes in.

Fixing help channel

Just kidding we ain't fixing it, we removing it but we are leaving something behind. Help channel is mainly meant for low ranks who just got into the game. Right now when a players creates a account this is what they see:

Clicking "Help?" takes them to help chat. However after the changes are implemented here's what they see:

This time clicking "Help?" will bring up a menu where they can type their question. Much like the report function the question will be sent to supporters and moderators who will then assist them. The "Help?" feature would only last till rank 3 and then disappears. The "?" button remains forever and once clicked brings the player to the Questions forum.

Next week we continue with serious articles. We will soon tackle the idea of premium only Generals.
Stay tuned!

I had username glitch on my account that allowed me and few more players to change our username as much as we want without regulations, and when I tested how to get rid of it deleting my account as a test was one of the methods I tried. It sovled it for me and it was in 2013 not last year, mr smart pants. I'm questioning your ability to read and comprehend at this point. You deleted your account in 2015 (I don't care about the 2013 time). MANY players will agree to that, so WHY do you KEEP LYING? "so if you aren't happy with e Mare you have a choice to stay, or leave" You said you left, but yet you were there to state that? Yes, I wrote it so the admins will understand that he is causing players to leave. And I returned shortly after he misused his powes to enter mine account and there was a chance he will be demoted which happened. Anyway it isn't the place to trash talk me feel free to make a forum talking bad about instead of further derailing this thread. Just the words I wanted to see come out of your mouth, you admitted to lying about deleting your account in 2015. Also I love your maturity, we need to make you moderator ASAP. I'm done here now, I have proven my point that you lie. I do not wish to make a thread for you, you're not worth that much of my attention so I will decline your offer. Take care. Surely I don't worth your time or attention for a thread while in this thread alone you crapped out 5 posts about me. oh, piss off! ---- duke u karikuar... duke u karikuar...

I'll stick around until I decide otherwise. then why was your account super active when emare was a mod? cuz i saw you kept bitching in forums about emare and admins. stop trying to be such a liar and manipulator dude, it gives you more minus to your shitty reputation You don't worth his time ---- ho duke u karikuar... duke u karikuar...

Skittzophrenic Stalins Martians postimet: 2198 Nga: USA	+3 26.01.2016 - 10:31 Skittzophrenic Boy where to begin. Removing the help channel because of spam? Maybe if moderators actually do their job for once instead of being afk while spamming goes on in help channel or in other channels, then there wouldn't be any spam. Mutes would be handed out. But it doesn't happen because mods lol On most occasions I've been online while other mods were online (won't name) and spam would go on and not a single thing would be done until they finally look away from their anime. ---- TJM !!! duke u karikuar... duke u karikuar...

Well, we've got the mods that we're given and you can't change that. Most of them are inactive or whatever. That's something out of our control... and complaining about them will do nothing to solve this. So we need a solution that doesn't involve mods in it. I feel fucking useless when seeing the constant spam in help channel and I don't feel like waiting for a mod to do something about it, hence this post I guess.

And once you answer, the other person can keep asking on pm if further explanation was needed. ---- Don't ever look down on someone unless you're helping him up.

Dereny The Imperial Academy postimet: 1822	30.01.2016 - 10:39 Dereny I understand that spamming does occur, but getting rid of help chat is ridiculous to me. Yes people can post their questions in the forums, but that is extremely inefficient when one now has to wait for an accurate response and also understand that response. In the forums it would be time consuming to ask follow up questions regarding answers. As to the spammers, why not mute them indefinitely from the help chat and enforce that mute across all alt accounts? duke u karikuar... duke u karikuar...
