What does it mean to SPAM Chatzy?
A very small number of our users don’t know how to behave. They copy/paste large chunks of random text (such as “qweqwe qweqwe qweqwe” etc.) into the rooms they are visiting just to annoy people. To prevent this, we have implemented an anti-spam filter which limits the amount of text that can come from a single IP address (a computer address) within a five-minute interval. This limit will not be reached by simply typing very fast. If you get a spam message from the system, chances are that you have been copying precomposed chunks of text into the room. This is of course OK if the text is relevant for the room. Since our system cannot distinguish relevant text from nonsense text, however, there may be a few “false positives”. Here is what you can do if that happens to you: • First of all, register with Chatzy (it’s free and takes one minute). The limit for registered users is higher, simply because we assume that anonymous users are more likely to spam. • Ask the room administrator to c
