[REJECTED]Make trolling about the 'Premium' listing bannable

Everyone knows exactly what/who I'm talking about.
Every hour or so someone comes on that misread the listing and trolls until Helpy either bans them for swearing or they get tired of trolling people.

I don't mean the people that are like "is the parkour" - "no" - "okay bye".
But the ones who actually stay and insist that we are.

Your listing said you were.
Well I typed it in Google and you came up.
I did scroll down, it was still this server.
No, I didn't do it wrong.
You have it listed wrong.
I hate servers that false advertise.
I didn't read it wrong, you're misleading.
You have your server listed as parkour skyblock hunger kit game survival.
That's what I searched and you came up.
You're all liars.
Well it doesn't say you're not a skyblock creative parkour server.
Etc, etc, etc.....

I propose that anyone who logs on and insists on harassing and trolling the entire server about our lack of parkour, smart moving, factions, chestshops, hunger games, kit pvp, skyblock, aether, tekkit, feed the beast, or creative mode should be warned and then banned.

No... if this is going to be implemented it should be bannable for older players to joke about the server being premium also. This is a useless idea.

Some people are dense. It's going to happen and there isn't much that can be done about it. Most of the people who do what you describe simply don't understand the advertising, and my guess is they're mostly pretty young kids. The usual outcomes are that they either get bored rather quickly and leave, get themselves banned by Helpy, or some even decide to stick around and play on the server. This isn't really necessary...the problem takes care of itself imo.

IMO: This is a too specific rule:
Trolling is already bannable, and if players are too annoying, staff should step in.
No staff online? ultimate spam-defense: /chat

Again this is my own opinion on this matter.

The people who do this aren't really trolling... they just couldn't tell that our advertisement was an ad instead of a search result. I would suggest some kind of message in the chat window specifically stating that we do not have any ridiculous server mods, but that still probably wouldn't help much.
