When Spectators Spam a CW

It was reported to mod team in a recent clan war.

Details:

CW started.

A third clan was recruited to spam messages to one of the clans in the CW.

Screenshots send to mod team.

=============

Generally, we just say ignore, but in this case, the clan has a point. Having to multi ignore, and the distraction, is against the spirit of CWs.

So what is a mods role in this?

It was also suggested for the duration of the CW, you can uncheck 'Private chat' to clear the chat. Still a nuisance but at least solves the problem of the spam.

if you continue to spam you will be banned, aswell as other spammers. This fair warning.

Mute and in extreme cases ban them. I saw the cw in question and the spam was pretty cancerous. Particularly the chat glitching stuff. Nobody wants to see that.

I think I would turn off all chats except private, clan and ally

Muting private and game chat isnt too difficult tbh

Agree, why ban?

525.600 minutes mute on all chats.

Double standard! Commando eagle spammed chat too but he is not banned... sun tsu had to reset chat 4-5 times cuz of him. looks like someone really good friend with commando eagle (gc, sun) also why do you make poll if you dont care about result?

CE was muted, You were muted. CE stopped spamming, you got on an alt to spam more....... Double standard?

If they start doing that glitchy stuff then i believe it is fair for mute, i mean thats the usual process when players do that anywhere. Otherwise just gonna have to turn room chat off or something

Thanks for the feedback everyone. [Regrets if i deleted your off-topic comments - was trying to keep this focused on the issue.]

Based on the information, i think we nearly reached consensus on the issue of the CW itself, so mods won't be deleting the CW, as muting private and game chats is effective enough.

However, in the case of third party mass spam recruiting, such as what happened in this game, mods may continue to investigate and issue mutes to curb this from happening again. In this case, those who are muted who then attempt to circumvent the mute would be treated as any other player avoiding a mod response. It is up to the CW player to approach the mod if they wish to pursue a consequence for the spamming player.

It should be noted that this guideline will be specific to the competitive scene. Spamming of this sort in a regular game would be dealt with as per the rules.
