It's hard to say if an IP Ban will work as they are most likely using a VPN which wouldn't fully solve the issue but may help!
Minecraft PC IP: play.cubecraft.net
Please explain what you are trying to say? It doesn't make sense. If there is an issue on the server it is to solve the issue not let it drag on and hopefully the Staff/Developers will find a solution!
It really seems that the amount is growing. I'm really against filtering the word "endless", it will only result into more players having a problem with the chat filter.
But I do not know any other solution currently. So it's filtering the word or simply IP banning the bots
They may stop eventually because of boredom or because they realize that their advertisement isn't really improving their server's player amount.
But that will likely not be the case for the following days, maybe even weeks.
secondly they may not have an infinite supply at their hands but if at any point they run out, they person setting up these bots can just get more, if those run out set up more, again set up more, they can continue setting more up for as long as they want
if the government just called them and told them not to blow it up they'd listen
yeah just because you tell someone not to do something doesn't mean they won't do it
Um @Gainfullterror About your solution to the VPN problem... I don't really know how they are going to constantly ban them without using bots to do it which by the time they made a full proof bot it may have subsided as @Dotsially pointed out
There's no need for a full-proof bot, as, like you both have said, they'll quit eventually.
since staff cannot be IP banning them while asleep or while they are in a very important place at a certain time when they can't (or when they don't have any devices either yeah that might be a problem)
Ps. I didn't advertise this server, I don't do that. Also, keep in mind that I /msg(Private message) a Chat-Mod.
I wish it was that easy, but they can't really force them to stop when they claim it's not them.
Lezappen said the reasoning behind not banning them, People used to own those accounts and if they ip ban them it will ban innocent players too
IP-banning the *specific server* spam bots.

Well, considering how Cubecraft's measures haven't solved the problem they will need to think of other ways to get rid of those bots.
It really seems that the amount is growing. I'm really against filtering the word "endless", it will only result into more players having a problem with the chat filter.

Their amount is still growing. The current measures Cubecraft is taking is not working. I'm seeing more and more people advertising that server.

You are right but if you ban the servername like mcserver or something like that you will block the name and they can't post the ip anymore because the word is in the ip.

To blacklisting the word:
I've seen plenty of names with the words "end", "endless", "ends". etc. Blacklisting it won't do much either, as they'll just bypass it.
To people saying that they can use VPN's:

People already do
Firstly "infinity" in the context you use it doesn't makes sense since technically Infinity isn't a number
secondly they may not have an infinite supply at their hands but if at any point they run out, they person setting up these bots can just get more, if those run out set up more, again set up more, they can continue setting more up for as long as they want
Yeah because if there are terrorists threatening the government to give them something or they'll bomb something like the capitol building
if the government just called them and told them not to blow it up they'd listen

I'm annoyed with all the people Spamming New Servidor --> "#$%&/)@&
The only possible solution I can see is muting them slowly.
We all know that there is a 0,001% chance that a player is using the account... (Sarcastic)
I believe it's our job to report'em and get'em muted because Staff don't want Ip ban because of what I said up.

I'm not telling them to get bots to IP ban them, but to have staff hand the names to a higher member so they can IP-ban the spambot's account.
There's no need for a full-proof bot, as, like you both have said, they'll quit eventually.
exactly but that brings up the VPN problem again
since staff cannot be IP banning them while asleep or while they are in a very important place at a certain time when they can't (or when they don't have any devices either yeah that might be a problem)

Hmm... I guess they could use a script, where it prompts them for a username & it runs the IP ban in the server through the command log thingy.
Can't the Admins/Owners join the server and try to get in contact with the Owner and try to stop it? I've seen players doing this before(I was Manager on a server and the Owner liked to use bots to advertise the server, a lot of players kept coming back and advertising their server on the server I was Manager on), just not in the best way.
I already joined the server and messages a Chat-Mod "Also, can you stop using spam bots to advertise the server? It's quite annoying" then I said "Plus, players will try to advertise CubeCraft on this server in "revenge", I've seen it happen before". After that, I left. I'm not sure if I'm banned on there now. xD
Ps. I didn't advertise this server, I don't do that. Also, keep in mind that I /msg(Private message) a Chat-Mod.

Pretty hard to do, especially if the owners claim that "they're not behind it" like an other server that had ad bots here.
I wish it was that easy, but they can't really force them to stop when they claim it's not them.
