i was in the lobby today, when a fellow advertised for his game 3 times. FFA GAME UP! FFA GAME UP! FFA GAME UP!
for a few seconds after this he said nothing
then levi, the 'helper' doesnt say 'plz dont spam'. he says 'dont join his game'. wtf is that? a guy wants people to play his new game on multiplayer just had 3hrs of fun ruined by a so called 'helper'.
if advertising the game helps get more people into games, having fun and hearing about the ladder, rather than having the infamous political debates in the lobby, how can it be a bad thing. i understand spamming like 'praise osama' can be bad, but advertising a game, and then a helper tells people not to play with him.
maybe if he put his ad up more than 3 times it would be ok/
i think the volunteers for the c4p ladder arnt only there to stop spammers, if they are there for that at all. they are there to advise, help and maybe even teach newer players to multiplayer the ways of civ.
don get me wrong, i think its great that you guys volunteer to do this, and i have a great respect for all of you, but maybe putting things into context a bit more would help?

i think the spammer learns real fast not to do it this way. i don't see the problem. knowing that spamming is the only thing that makes the helpers mad at you is a pretty good reason not to do it.
it seems harsh... but its for the spamtard's own good.

LOL i say this nearly everytime im in the lobby, its a CIV4 lobby so if you cant talk about civ? I mean WTF! This is by no means a personal attack but Levi acts like he owns the lobby, if somsone advertises a game he always has to make a comment something like "dont avertise your game more then X times", when im in C4F's i for one would like to hear about games rather then why Bush invaded Iraq. IF you want to talk about Iraq and Bush, why dont you go to a political chat room or something like that?? But the funny thing is, Levi is by far the biggest spammer going, he has alot of "spam stuff" saved on his computer which he cuts and pastes WAY too often! For example there is one about muting "smacktards and spammers" this takes up like 3 lines out of 5 in the civ4 lobby (not c4f's) so if you talking to somsone you have to scroll up which is annoying. He has lots of so called helpful nonsense saved on his computer which he sits and copies and pastes, one after the other for way too long! Also when he hosts a touney he pastes the link more times then any open player ever advertises his game! When you tell him, hes spamming he doesnt want to hear it, his reponse is 9/10, "muting tony", then he waits like 30 secs and says "wow muted alot of idiots today". But i never seem to be muted! Also Levi tries to convince others that he actually has some power in the lobby by claiming he can report people to firaxis and they will block his/her IP! WTF!

Yeah, his rant about how all Germans should have to wear a scarlet "L" to remind them that they are losers because they are so arrogant was pretty ridiculous. Utter crap like that being spewed by someone with a "C4P" tag on their account gives the ladder a bad name.

Levi dosnt own the lobby I Do ;D Yes its me im back from Holidays oh and tony that change of name sucked anyways thankgod you changed it back as for the lobby helpers we try to help people join the ladder and in my experiance all levi does when someone spams is asks them politely to stop if they continue then we advise other lobby people how to mute the spammers If you would like to mute spammers and smacktards, you can if you right click on their names from the list of names on the right then select ignore user

But, I suppose it keeps her off the streets.

it's easier to help someone by just IM'ing them, followed up by a quick demonstration game.

Utter crap like that being spewed by someone with a "C4P" tag on their account gives the ladder a bad name. I think you all know how I feel about racsist crap like that being posted publicly (and no, I'm not German, either). All spamming issues aside, the head TD has a big reputation to maintain. I mean, I would expect people take potshots at his/her rep, but wtf is this all about? Now, about spamming, if I advertise a game, I will post a message after the previous one leaves the chat window. There's no reason to say something 3 times consecutively unless you are looking for players who need to read something 3 times consecutively. On the other side, levi shouldn't use his/her rep to tell people not to join a particular player's game on that basis. Just say, "don't spam." Other than that, Levi has been and continues to be very helpful. Btw, Decepticon, when did you get downgraded to guest?

Tony, I mute you because you have been attacking me personally for months. I would like you to do yourself a huge favor and permanently mute me. I never want to hear anything you have to say, and you should never have to hear anything I have to say.

Utter crap like that being spewed by someone with a "C4P" tag on their account gives the ladder a bad name. Mookie, you forgot to preface the story that the Germans in the lobby were bragging how great the Germans were at war and war games. I was just trying to make a joke about the tatoo of the capital "L" on the forehead. Apparently the German people are a tad touchy on the subject. Sorry if I offended anyone. He had another "ladder is elitist, nobody plays games with smatt, you are all rank hoarders, this ladder is dying" freak outs again. Hey I get pissed sometimes too but jesus this is getting repititious. I don't think this was me knupp, I am often impersonated in the lobby. I would never tell people not to play games with smatt because I consider him one of my friends. You may have overheard a personal joke between me and smatt and misinterpreted it, I can't say for certain. I certainly haven't said anything about the ladder dying. I am working very hard to prevent the ladder from dying.

Posted by levi Today at 6:07pm Don't worry about it, Levi. Knupp was answering why Decepticon left the ladder. He was referring to what he did, not you.

I'm not German, but as a Jew, I'm offended by the suggestion that we should be branding people in certain groups with markers of their race.
