Ideas for chat: How to prevent scammers


Recommended Posts

On chat, everyday we all see players whom post fake links to websites NOT related to the official sites of TankiOnline. Usually the staff comes, but sometime players on chat they already clicked the link and they gave username + password .... Actually these web sites are quite easy to recognize because their names are always different from tankionline.com (for example tankiilonlline, taknilonlline, etc.), and they have different TLD (not with .com  !): unfortunatly some players could be not enough 'experienced' on web.

 

I have a suggestions: the chat server could create a list of permitted website (youtube.com, tankionline.com, tankiforum.com, wikipedia.com, prntscr.com, etc.), when a player post a message with a link, the server checks the link just posted and REMOVE the link if not allowed.

 

It could be a great help for players, and an improvement for chat mod because they would have less things to do.

 

What do you think about ? any opinions from players and from TO staff would be great :-)

PS: I am not sure about my english grammar ...please forgive me

PPS: I know they are working for TankiX, but TO can solve this issue for both the games (if they like the idea, of course :)    )

Seems like a good idea, but do you know anyone who fell for it?

Since there's no proper over-server private chat, this is NOT a good idea.

 

There are a lot of links to filter and sometimes they're not all bad. The devs are bound to miss a site or two when creating the filter. The idea intention is good, but I'm gonna have to say no..

 

I agree

Which is why they should remove the chat all together

 

Since there's no proper over-server private chat, this is NOT a good idea.

What about us clan leaders who want to chat to our members.

plus they should make it so you cant post links at all except tanki forums ones

maybe exact opposite
