What types of radio spam make you 'valid?'

[Raven776]

So obviously porn is the biggest and most obvious radio spam with the whole WGW joke, but if I wrote a massive 'bluespace thesis' for my science-y role, how banned would I get for blasting the ears off of science radio by reciting that into it for a whole round?

Obviously this wouldn't be along the lines of making friends, and I likely wouldn't do it for numerous reasons, but I'm just curious where the line exists for this.

Would you kill someone for constantly talking all the time?

Aside from porn and/or WGW, I think any issues of people spamming should be solved with Security and the crew.

You can mute people from telecomms as well.

I shall not today attempt further to define the kinds of material I understand to be embraced within that shorthand description ["hard-core pornography"]; and perhaps I could never succeed in intelligibly doing so. But I know it when I see it.

(not empty quoting, we all know valid radio spam when we see it)

Admins usually step in if someone's hardcore spamming.

[Hibbles]

Either the 'repeating the same line as quickly as you can 200 times' variety, which is really easy for admins to spot and will result in us handling it, but feel free to murder them for it too. Clearly they're under demonic possession and babbling the Devil's tongue faster than human ears can process... or:

I'd say any kind of thing that's deliberately made to annoy or gross out people; WGW is the obvious example, being a huge chunk of text that's just there to shit on people due to the way the radio and chat system works in the game. Anything like it, it's also okay to go after them, but if it's not actually WGW, it's a great idea to adminhelp first and we'll tell you for sure.

[Reimoo]

I never understood the policy behind WGW or other erotic storytimes over the radio. I know it makes you valid, but is it bannable? Because I see people do it regularly and the only consequence I see is a witchunt ensuing.

[Pandarsenic]

I usually kill or gib someone for shock value recitations and drop a ban for quick-post spam.

Since regular crew members can outright lynch WGW readers, is it ok for security to perma them? I would assume yes.

Completely allowed. Be as shitcurity as you'd like.

[Stickymayhem]

If someone is hiding and reading it out as an irritation I tend to spawn a goliath of shame to stop them.

[MisterPerson]

The metric I'd use to tell if you're spamming the radio is if people ask you not to.

[Raven776]

Sometimes when I feel a bit wordy, I type too much and come back with a chorus of 'Oh god, my ears' from my particular department's radio chatter before sheepishly going back to telesciencing encouraging notes onto the clown's face about what a great clown job he's doing.

Would Her Holiness, Our Lady The Honkmother grant me the strength and banana peels needed to slay a particularly determined WGW reader if I asked Her?
