The Guiding Lands Complete Guide

A new time is year is upon us and its only two weeks before Iceborne hits PC.
So, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays/New Years to all you hunters!

Greetings Hunters!

During the last week, we have been plagued in the chatroom by CSGO Scammers posting constantly, spamming the chat. A lot of members were getting quite frustrated that this was happening, as the scammers were using the @All and @Everyone tags, pinging everyone in the chatroom. I started at first to take it on alone but it was not working out for me well.

With the help of two great members of the community here who recently joined as Moderators of this Steam Group: Retribution and Ricochet we have eliminated the scammers and purged all their posts. Without their help and insight, I would have surely had run a mile with those scammers! Please give them a Thank You if you see them in the chatroom or discussions!

How we solved it? An idea popped into my mind, to check the permissions of the Everyone role of the chatroom, a place i honestly did not think to look! I found the ability to disable the use of @All and @everyone for that said role and it has stopped all scams.

Please note that if this does happen to start again in other areas of the Steam Group. I, along with Retribution and Ricochet will be hot on their scam, removing and banning their account from the group.
I would sincerely like to apologize for any annoyance this has given our members that were victim to these scammers and their consistent pinging, you all should be good now!

As we all know, this group has grown quite a bit, more than i expected. I always like to improve things, so i welcome any ideas on how to improve our community here.
If you would like to help out with something for the group, please feel free to leave a comment here with what you have in mind!

Happy Hunting!
