Hey Forum/Website maintenance guys,

In case you have not noticed, the "Radio Chatter" module is being constantly populated with tweets from "mwomusiclabel" or "music world order". Even though they are using the mwo hash tag it would be advised to setup a few filters that could help cleaning that up. Maybe a keyword filter, for instance, could be implemented.

I think that deserves some attention as that information occupies a relevant spot in the homepage.
Just an idea.

Cheers,

I noticed that too last night. Thanks for letting me know as well!

That's been going on for a long time.

Today it is stronger than ever! Almost no legitimate tweets show up (maybe because there are none, I don't know).

I keep trying to weed those posts out, padon the pun. I think I've gotten most of them.

Too bad PGI can't use that Radio Chatter to report in-game battles or other interesting game related news.

Instead of just spam from twits.

You need it to just feed from Devs tweets.

It's a neat suggestion, but requires an entirely different framework. The purpose of this chatterbox is to feed in Tweets with MWO related hashtags. Feel free to let us know which accounts are actively using these hashtags for subjects which do not relate to MechWarrior Online but happen to share our acronym, and we will get those accounts blocked from the chatterbox.

I would recommend getting a seperate thread up on your Suggestion for in-game reports as a new website or in-game feature. This doesn't necessarily need to be framed as an either/or option.

As dear ol' Mom used to say: "Cain't never did do nothin'."

This past weekend, posting tournament updates would have been a good use of "Radio Chatter" but alas, this web site "CAIN'T" do it.

And it still "CAIN'T" weed out the never-ending ads for Music World Order.

I remember one IT guy many years ago told me to my face that a certain thing "can't" be done "because" yada yada.

I just wrote the code myself. My rates are reasonable.

how about switching it simply to something like #mechwarrioronline or #mechwarrior

so a shooting in Clinton is all i see on the feed yesterday/today. Then a few days ago Justin F-ing biber was on it and i wanted to kick a puppy! i know its just going off #mwo but man seems like its almost useless at this point as we just get flooded with Crap!
