[Bug?] Kicked for Spam while opening mail.

  1. So, as the title says, I collected my mail and was kicked for 'Spam' after typing '/mail get' three times. Not sure what that's about, but I've collected far more mail in the past and never been kicked for it before. Is this a new thing that's been implemented for whatever reason or is it a bug?

  2. You can type '/getmail all' to collect all your mail with one command

    The spam thingy could have something to do with how fast you were typing the commands, or it could just trigger sometimes but not all the time. I don't think it's a new thing but it's probably also not a bug

  3. I thought there was a command to collect all, I just couldn't remember what it was. Thank you.

    Not sure. I did pace myself when I logged back in (still had about 5 to collect) and it kicked me after the third one like before. Never had this happen before, but thanks for the command. I'll use it in the future when I have mail pile up again.

  4. I have so much mail pile up that even if I use /getmail all I get kicked for spamming up to a dozen times. :D

  5. Doing /mail get 1 repeatedly is so much better than just using /getmail all command. :rolleyes: What you're describing shouldn't happen, though, I'd say.

    There is a limit to how many mail the /getmail all command gives? I did not know that! I'm not sure if I'll ever open all my mail again, I like having 500+ unopened mails. :D Which got me curious, do mails expire..?

  6. Are you using a 1.13 client? I haven't experienced it myself, but I'm aware of a bug where people who use that version are kicked for spam in some situations, when they wouldn't be if they were using 1.12.
  7. It seems like it doesn't consider stacking when checking for inventory space. So if I have an empty inventory, it will open at most 18 mails containing both a few diamonds and a few emeralds, even though after those 18 there is plenty of room left in my inventory, as the diamonds and emeralds will stack up to just a few stacks.

    If my memory is correct that I was kicked for spamming /mail get all 'up to a dozen times', however, I must not have had an empty inventory in the first place. :D

  8. Oh, that sucks... that means that I'd still have to use the command at least 30 times (per account :p) (assuming an empty inventory) were I to ever claim all my mails... :p

  9. Like Alexc said could be 1.13

  10. getting kicked for collecting mail has been a thing ever since I started playing emc, 4 years ago lol.

  11. I was kicked the other day using /mail get all because I had lots in there. Not necessarily lots of individual mail just lots of items within them all. :D

  12. I was kicked once too, though it turned out my brother put a kick me sign on my back.
  13. Reminder to self... dont send important mail to 607. Lol

  14. I'm not sure about Tom, but I do actually check what mail I have now and then. ;) I just rarely open my voter's mail, I do retrieve mails from other players.

  15. I sometimes check my mail... :p I do always check it when I'm expecting something, though, but if someone randomly sent me something a month ago I might have not noticed at all. :p Occasionally I do check back a couple of pages, but it's entirely possible that I have missed some over time.

  16. I got kicked twice when opening mails with the message "The server you were previously on went down, you have been connected to a fallback server"... :p Both mails were written books.

    I just went through all pages and opened everything that wasn't voting, and went from 88 pages to 84... :p Nothing important though. :) My oldest mail is 804 days and 22 hours old, and I have 501 in total. :D
