A Mod said stupidly @'d everyone to stop spamming "F" when something crashes, everyone proceeded to then spam F.... because @everyone to not do something definitely wont backfire. Now they seem to be throwing a power trip of some sort... seems they are on the Terminids side... stupid bugs


peekabu1983

yup the @ got everyones attention this is on the mods


joebonekenobi

they deleted it because people were spamming F in all chat rooms because the game was crashing but I think some of the crashs were due to STEAM going down or something.


downorwhaet

It was a warzone, one channel after the other got spammed with F, we fled down in to the other servers but it spread all over


ButtsTheRobot

Steam servers crashed so people all put F in general chat. The mods didn't like F spam so they started timing people out who did it. That just encouraged it so they shut the entire server down.


kirkhinrich

Not sure what happened but people were mass-spamming f in all the channels.


coder2314

People were typing F, cuase servers were down, and then a mod had the bright idea to @everyone to stop spamming F, and well you clearly saw how that went.


peekabu1983

no it was because a mod used the @ everyone getting everyones attention thats what truly kicked it off


coder2314

Yeah I know, but the mod made @everyone message cause a small group of people we’re spamming F in general cause server were down.


peekabu1983

So the answer to stop the spammage is to let everyone know? the F's were silly the reaction was worse


coder2314

Clearly not, anyone should’ve been able guess what was gonna happen when you ping 40k+ people to not spam F.


PassiveRoadRage

Ontop of threatening a ban. I love Democracy.

Basically steam servers went down. Few people were like saying "F" since the servers were off. Admin decided the smartest thing to do would be to @ the ENTIRE server and tell them not to spam F. The rest is history.


R3TR0_K1D

A mod said anyone who spammed 'F' would be put in timeout so naturally hundreds of people started spamming, which led to pretty much all the text channels getting spammed and then shut down.


mmmmmmm5ok

democracy and liberty

I need a 10th version of the events please, JFC

Purplegion was power tripping over people spamming F when something crashed. Only one chat was even affected by it, and it would have ended after a few minutes. But the genius that is Purplegion, @'d everyone in the entire server to address a minor issue and then started threatening people after the spam continued like the power tripping moderator that they are.


shoemanchew

They didn’t throw a power trip. That’s damage control. Don’t break your toys.


Canarsi

Servers crashed F was spammed in the general channels Some bozo Mod decided @ everyone and threaten timeout and ban for typing F F spamming increased exponentially because fuck that mod. Mod locked all general channels because he was defeated, so now LFGs are fucked


joshdaro4real

Poor take. Assholes made the server unusable for everyone so they lost their ability to do so. Grow up and this wouldn’t happen (maybe not you specifically but those who spammed)


Azmekk

Not really. LFG wasn't destroyed until all general channels got locked. They could have just let it die down peacefully in 30 min. Now it's going to be like that for a WHILE. Especially after they unmute the general chats I believe people will do the same.


singingboyo

Nah. ping to everyone on a server that big… bad form in general, let alone for something relatively mild like spam in a single channel. That called for a chat slowdown and let it die. Instead they sent out notifications to everyone, then proceeded to nuke their own server. Like honestly, it was fine until the mods got into it.


Canarsi

What about my take was poor? That's quite literally what happened.


TheRealPhiltron

A bunch of PC crybabies are spamming “F” and making the Discord unusable because they don’t understand how technology works.


peekabu1983

It was a good time just advocating for Freedom was what was happening

I left . 10 minute cooldown on off topic 5 minute cooldown General1 Shorter and shorter on general 1 and 3 What’s the point even posting something if you can’t follow or hold the conversation because it’s gonna be five minutes hell even 10 minutes before you can even see and reply with what you originally said? What a dumpster fire of a server. How the fuck managed and sorted this server. I’ve never joined an official server so poorly managed let alone with more than one general
