Spam Catcher - More pain than gain.

Hello,

Unfortunately this thread is a bit more negative than I would usually post but i think its equally as important for there to be shared info about the issue.

Recently the Spam catcher has banned me up to ten times a day on my two main accounts which I use for an in game agency I own. (F.I.A) I've been on fresh for quite some time and I have never been banned as much as i have been the last seven days combined across all my years of playing.

My members within my agency also send feedback to me about the spam bot's "derpiness" and it seems like i see more alts than mains in my HQ. It seems as though its getting worst every hour with more frequent bans. Also... Certain words mean instant bans, today i mentioned "Pay Rises" Rise being a word i have seen advertisers use it makes some sense however no advertising bots says RISE directly they always use alternate characters meaning that the bot is actually affecting loyal players rather than "dickish" advertisers.

I think its a great idea but to be banned within my own room on fresh for spamming is completely ridiculous.
I want to see more players on fresh not less due to annoying malfunctioning bots that although have a good need for them to be present are not living up to the expectations.

I already know this thread will be controversial as is and simply by saying my mind I run the risk of being ridiculed however it needs to be said that I believe the Spam-Bot is more pain towards our amazing community than gain. With complete honesty i would rather spend the rest of my days on fresh "bored shitless" catching out real spammers and advertisers than see the community getting tormented.

Please understand that I respect all staff and I believe they do their jobs proficiently however their robot colleague is letting the group down. THIS IS NOT AGAINST ANY STAFF MEMBER!! I do not intend on starting another bullshit fight on here about how staff do a horrible job as that is completely wrong!!

As members of the community we need to stand behind eachother and work things out together like a true community does.

Thank you for taking the time to review this thread and as always...

Have an Excellent Day and stay fresh!!

sorry I didn't read it all but as you were aware, we had a crowd of advertisers flood the hotel so we had to raise the security :) it's only an hour wait it out
