Hello, I have a question

[vlaxna]

I would like a more detailed explanation about what is considered spamming and what is not, like if I say hi to 3 different people, is that spamming? If 3 people say hi to me 1 after the other it's normally good manners and common sense to say hi/hello back, so I don't think it is? If it's not considered spamming, does that mean context matters when staffs look at someone "spamming"?
I'm asking cause I say hi to a lot of people and a lot of people say hi to me and I wouldn't want to be muted because of what I consider common sense.
It would be more appreciated if the answer came directly from staff, but any reply is welcomed

If the same message is repeated in the vanilla server chat (non client modified) within 1 screenshot 3 times, it is considered spamming.

Not "hi hi hi", but:
"hi"
"hi"
"hi"

Got it?

Hi, you can greet them back by mentioning their name and it will be fine.
For example:

Hi player1

Hello player2 and so on...

Spamming rule only applies when u send 3 same or similar messages back to back within a small time frame. Same way flooding rule applies when u spam bunch of similar characters like "hhhx15" in a same message.

(coming from ex staff if that helps)

As a friendly note from one to another, I recommend putting the actual issue in your title
This helps people read it faster and click onto it and therefore you get responses quicker

That's why it is a warning for the first offense so that you get to know not to repeat it. If you write the same message 3 or more times, and it is captured through a single screenshot, it will be punishable. Make sure not to repeat it. Hope it helped
