It has become apparent that there is an issue with non-english speakers logging into the server, unable to follow admin directions and/or causing havoc. However, I don't feel confident putting an idea topic up because:
Putting it here will let people discuss what they think about it and how they could form a better system prior to putting it in the idea forum, since after all, if nobody cares about it, it'll never get implemented.
There has been such a large number of people logging into the server who don't know English at all and it's very easy for them to register since they need to write a password twice and boom! Access to the server where they are unable to speak proper English causing admins to spend time watching/talking with people that don't even understand what they're saying.
The system could work like this:
New player log into the server. No account exists under the name he is registering.
A prompt comes up either BEFORE or AFTER asking to register their password asking them to either spell/unscramble a couple words correctly
ORThe system delivers a sentence with misplaced words and asks them to be rearranged like:
- Rearrange the following words to form a proper sentence: "Hi Gandalf name peanut butter and my I like is"
- Then they would enter: "Hi my name is Gandalf and I like peanut butter"
- If they enter as how it is written above (being the correct answer), it'll be submitted towards the server and the callback (If this is how scripts work lol), if positive, would let them enter their password to register or log in (If they already entered the password). If negative, it'll close the connection.
There can be a multitude of tests like different versions of the above. It'll allow for those logging in to at least be able to form a elementary/primary school level English sentence and thus reducing the amount of spam from people unable to form proper sentences and filling the public chat with incomprehensible stuff like:
*"JAJAJAJA YO SOY JUAN, PUTA MADRE 69"
*Exaggeration
Anyways, I'm putting it here to hear what the rest of the community thinks about this. I had some good feedback from a few people when I mentioned it in the server so I'm wondering if a larger number of the community might want to insert some feedback here.
Maybe either suggest to make the tests harder or easier? Have the tests at all?
Or maybe go back to the RS4 days where you had to register on the forums. What else can be done to solve the "Please speak English" issue? Have someone from the same country tell them in their native language in /p to speak English?
^ That doesn't work though lol
