Got banned on PUBG forums for asking something about the insane amount of spam

[clay gamer]

There are about 20 discussions made per second there which are all in chinese by people with numbers as their names, they are obviously bots and they spam in their own discussion.

I asked if it would be possible to disable chinese letters or something, then me and 1-2 others agreed that it would be a good idea to actually revoke discussions from people who have been permabanned in a multiplayer game.


I got banned there for 1 day any my thread was removed for apparently insulting people, which i didn't do?

You can't be calling people "morons" on the forums.

Sorry, but if you still have a link to that discussion, can you send it to me?

1. They are not bots. There are just a TON of them.

2. Respond to your "Community Moderation Messages" linked on the right of this page.

3. It is only 1 day. Wait it out and refrain from doing it again.

Are you sure they aren't bots? They mostly have very little playtime

They are new players. Millions of new players. PUBG sold over 7 million copies of the game in China this year alone.

Oh okay, but why would they spam the general forums with their crap and then spam numbers to bump their post?

[cSg|mc-Hotsauce]

They are trying to find friends and also spamming their QQchat IDs to others so they can connect with them.

Just ignore them to be honest.

Hard to ignore them when they take up 95% of the forums and your discussion gets buried within 2 seconds of posting it

[cSg|mc-Hotsauce]

Yeah, BlueHole jumped ship from their Steam forums.

The title of your thread seems to have been the issue.

2,5 million play PUBG of which half is chinese. Compared this CS GO is only 1 million.
There is a lot of topics simply cause a lot of them. It could be partially solved with making a chinese forum, but problem is that many of them simply post in the 1st forum they spot - like "New to Steam" here.
And of course the tons of banned ones in the VAC forum trying to appeal a ban which has nothing to do with VAC in first place.
Unfortunately there is nothing much to be done, until Valve doesn't thinks out something. Try to be calm, you don't solve anything by attacking them.

I just realised, they could put the 1st forum to Chinese forums, that works, right?

[cSg|mc-Hotsauce]

Sometimes it works. It did here with the moving of the "New to Steam" to the top.

The problem is that they often post wherever they want. Some of them search friends, or are mad about their (deserved) game ban, but most of it is pure spam.
They probably follow some outdated guides and think that posting will unlock some features or level them up.

But again, we cannot do too much about it. When mods delete one or two spam topics, 5 appear instead. And on PUBG forums, I don't even want to imagine what is going on.
Best solution is ignoring them.
