Hehehe, this method is both fun and effective! Oh, and if you don't believe me, ask BloodyBunny and Suicide Bomber. They were both there when I did this.

1. Spammer enters and starts being a racist bastard.
2. Original occupiers of channel either mute him or ignore him.
3. Spammer gets pissed and switches channels.
4. I proceed to follow him and try to get him to come back, telling him that we miss him and it's not fun without him.
5. He finally comes back and starts his stuff again.
6. I ignore him while Bloody and Suicide joke around with him.
7. I apologize to Bloody and Suicide in case my next move annoys the hell out of them, but conveniently forget to apologize to the spammer.
8. I proceed to spam Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville at the loudest volume my speakers will go.:lol:
9. Spammer gets angry and leaves. :cursing:

Well, sadly my fun left when he did, but I'll tell you one thing, I can't wait for another spammer to join my channel. Any takers?:biggrin:
 
Good offer, but I'll have to turn it down. I get very angry with mic spammers. =)

*EDIT* And you won't like me when im angry =P
 
Maybe I'm one of those people who are just annoying and too strict. As funny as this is and as fun as it would be for some reason it doesn't "float my boat". The reason for that is that (though unlikely) this is the kind of thing that could really make somebody upset and start to badtalk eGO all around the net. In my opinion any negative stuff online should be avoided. It feels to me that situations like this point that we actually created the drama.

On a second note, do we want to be known as clan who messes with people on purpose or rather a clan that immediately takes care of business when it needs to be taken care of? I'm not sure what the official eGO stance is on trying to look professional to the public all the time, but I know I feel the latter is the way to go.

Anyway, that is my 2 Copper Coins that are kinda pointless anymore...
 
Cool. That was very creative of you, but you should try something that is less harmful to your fellow gamers.

I like to play the "sorry" game with people like that. I insult them, then say sorry. I then insult them again, and say sorry. But you can't just flat out bash them. You have to make them feel inferior. Those are the fun insults.

Witty of you for fighting the turd in Vent, and wit is one of the characteristics I admire most in people. Good work.

Although I thank you for the input, I don't think this has any bearing here and here is my reason. eGO is already one of the most hated clans around for two reasons. The first is that we're the best. Nobody can top us. The second is that we ban so many people. We are constantly banning people in Vent and in server because they're breaking the rules, then they get pissed, and then they start bad-mouthing eGO. So, there is really no way to get past this and we have two options: ban them, or screw with them. I think in my opinion (in Vent at least), if the spammer isn't really annoying the hell out of everyone, and in this case, Bloody, Suicide, and I kind of enjoyed it, I'll pick screw with them any day I'm in a good mood. :thumbup1:

However, now that I've said that, let me reiterate one part of what I said. I will never let a spammer continue in a server (especially a racist one), nor will I put up with it if he's in a room full of people who don't like it.

I guess from my perspective the first person is complaining and badmouthing eGO because they are idiots and are usually lying about something that happened. The second person is bad mouthing eGO because there is actually something an eGO admin did that is worth badmouthing. So person number one the guilt is on them, person number two we share the guilt.

Now that is just my two cents, I'm not trying to say anybody is doing anything wrong at all. Just my perspective.
 
Lol, nice way to have fun dude:P however, i'll have to agree with both rymo and Piecemaker; unless the spammer isn't that annoying and there aren't many people in the channel and you EXPLICITLY ask the other members if they don't mind, mess around with him/her a bit, but then get an advisor or up to ban him/her.
As a clan, we do not tolerate spammers in our Vent, and will not do so, no matter how much fun it is messing about with them. Eventually, they'll just start spamming music and ignore you, so you'd do no good anyway.
So, as i said, if it's not that bad (i.e. racist, annoying, insulting), and everyone in the channel agreed, go ahead and have some fun, but then get him/her banned! If they are any of the things i listed, DON'T mess around with them, get them banned asap.
I am now locking this thread before we have a huge argument about how to deal with them! On that same topic, here is a rough guide I drew up on how to deal with them! Enjoy ;)
