its never good to take measures against large groups of people. You always take out some possibility of quality to your site..this game...or whatever.

The other side can/should only be: Is this group taking up so much time that such measures are warranted.

This is a question you can only answer yourself, since we have no idea about it. Since its your personal site, your personal investment and your personal time this should be your personal choice also.

I could.. has there been a problem with spam I'm unaware of?

Free site title to anyone who can. I'll need to be able to resolve the user's IP number on this site for you to prove this to me.

I remember seeing posts by Densha from The Final Hope (Najena).

Not sure if he's mainland China, but I'd be surprised if TFH didn't have at least 1 person from .CN.

As stated in a previous post, How many actually visit and/or contribute? If you're spending lots of time cleaning up stuff from .CN and little-to-none is being contributed from .CN... put a blockpage up or just block it.

Himalaya is still around. My guild leader ran through CoV with them a month or so ago and said he learned a better way to do it.

I'm shocked the plat farmers are spamming this site. You'd think I would have seen at least one by now. Is it the same kinda crap we get in game? Goto isuckplatinumcoatedballs.com -- we give you happy ending, 70 levels $700? If its really a problem, block em. How hard will it be for you to make exceptions for individuals? Just in case a legit one shows up.

It's obvious they speak English as a second language, but they are pretty decent people and have tried to help out where possible.

That being said, players like the two in my guild most certainly seem to be the exception to the rule.

For all you know, they are actual players while playing on their personal accounts, but could be scumfuck farmers and spammers for a living.

Fag Boy has a point.
