Good Morning,

I understand, that the award system and it's awards we implemented to wowemu, are nice to have. And I can also comprehend, that it takes some work to get those, since they are dependent on posting attempts. But I can't comprehend, why you would deliberately post spam, just to get a little piece of pixelated asset.

However, I was checking the award logs this morning, to check if all Christmas trees were distributed, and saw that 3 people got the Santa award (@JadaDev , @Lushen , @Rogue). I was a little bit curious, because they got the award in a very little timeframe after each other, first I thought the system is broken, bugged or something, but here it comes.


Lushen's post history was fine, nothing wrong. But Jada's and Rogue's was literally through the rooftop.

Just to have some numbers here.
  • @JadaDev was continuously spamming yesterday 10.00 PM - Roughly 400 posts.
  • @Rogue was continuously spamming yesterday 7.00 PM - Roughly 200 posts.
Result
  • Santa Award for both of them.
  • 500 Posts Award for both of them.
  • Tons of credits for both of them.
Conclusion
  • Removed 400 posts from Jada.
  • Removed 200 posts from Rogue.
  • Removed Santa Award from both of them
  • Removed 500 Posts Award from both of them
  • Nulled their credits.
  • Removed Christmas Award Grind Topic upon request/report cause of the spam and low quality posts
  • Wasted 1 hour of my life doing this
Like I said, I comprehend and understand a lot about what's happening here, but things like this makes me wonder about humanity. That's unfair towards other people, who legitimately grind for those awards, with actual quality content.

Don't get me wrong, but that's not how the system was designed. And I also apology to the rest of the community, that was not intended and bad designed. We should have told you, that only quality posts count and that spam posts like "da, hi, xd" or a full tutorial on how to install and compile a TrinityCore source splitted into single sentences throughout 40 pages (Jada), will be removed.

Besides that, I hope everyone had great holidays.

Sincerely,
WoWEmu.org Administration
