For the ''xD roflmao xD'' moments they get when they see that they are causing an annoyance to others.

Because it's amusing.

I "fixed" the stuff we couldn't do server-side
This kind of spam however takes some time to clean up

Isn't it possible to detect if the IP create more than x worlds and get disconnected when he try to create more rooms?

This was the same issue I was running into during my reign. They are creating rooms without joining them, so no server sided code is running to close the rooms.

have fun

We "fixed" that issue already. They don't do it now. These are regular spam rooms

not going to tell for obvious reasons but if you take a look at playerio's documentation nobody can really stop you

no, game code is only running when there is a player in the room. if you create the room, you don't join it so no player is there so the code isnt running. basically you can create tons of rooms without joining and theres nothing that can be done, you're basically a ghost because you cant be detected.

ah nice. it sucks that purely creating rooms can't be disabled for entire games, that bad hacky "brushing the issue under a placemat" method and oh that sucks
