| Post subject: | Spell Spamming |
Is spamming spells to get better at them illegal? That, is as long as they do not violate: help rules wrote: 5. NO BOTS -- Because Shattered Kingdoms is a roleplaying mud, this naturally precludes the usage of client programs to automate your character (also known as using a 'bot') to play while you are away from the keyboard.
7. NO SPAMMING -- Spamming is defined as the continuous or repetitive printing of something to the screen, either in an attempt to annoy another player or to gain an advantage over him. Repeated violations will result in penalties or demotion. I was asked this a while ago and wasn't sure; I haven't found anything definitive to say yae or nay. "No bots" is clear - be the one hitting the button every time - no problem. But the 'no spam' rule goes on to specify the involvement of another player, not sitting alone and working on the exact way to pronounce "judicandus noselacri." My tentative answer had been "I don't think it's illegal, but ask someone else." Any clarification would be appreciated - wouldn't want to lead the littler newbs astray. |

It's usually fine, but there is an exception. You must always be able to roleplay. So you shouldn't stack your command buffer with 10 spells, leaving you unable to react to things. But as long as you cast spells one at a time - which means waiting for the automated response before you cast again - you should be fine. |

dont do it in public either. Do it in a remote place. I remember about 7 years ago I had a newbie I was spamming note read at the krychire boards trying to learn to read the language better and yenko yelled at me. |

Keep yourself open to RP, but you can easily justify spell/skill spamming. I must, I must, I must master this in the name of <insert diety, organization, your great grandmother who always looked after you who you want to impress more than anything>. Just don't alienate the opportunity for RP, and not overtly spam other PCs. |

Its ok to stack a couple of commands...you just want to be able to react in a reasonable amount of time. Don't ever do it in a location where there are other PCs: no one wants your spam. |
