This leads on to people refusing to use F1 in future, therefore making the problem worse.

The fact is that there were plenty of staff online to deal with that request - but plenty of users to be distracted by it. People trying to play the game don't want to hear it, and this is why people end up having to say "are you ignoring me? please tell me how much that costs!" because they don't even know that they responded through all the spam.

You have decided to take up someone else's mute, but you fail to understand how often we have to deal with people who spam questions in the OOC; not to mention how the offender decided to use upper case and metagame.

[quote=JiminyBillyBob] B. Stop the people who arn't admins helping. Even moderators can't see the F1 requests so that means when an Admin is not present on the server then small questions or Admin requests using F1 are not dealt with. [/quote] Incorrect.

Stop people such as myself who arn't a moderator or admin do what they like to do, help people. I like nothing more than to help someone understand something or talk them through the process of doing something and see them suceed at the same process later.
