How does mute - anti spam system works?

Question

By mistake I was trying to sail on wrong channel. Instead of Npc channel I wrote few times on private channel and I got muted. After few seconds, I have no idea why I got muted again for much longer.

How does this time work?

 Is there any formula to see for how long I will be muted next time?

Answer 1

You get muted when you send too many messages in small period of time.

There is a formula that tells you for how long you will be muted:

• OLDTIME + 10X + 5

Where: OLDTIME = Duration of your previous muting, in seconds

Where: X = How many times you got muted previously, an integer

• Example1: If it's your 1st mute, then OLDTIME = 0 and X = 0, therefore the equation becomes: 0+10*0+5 = 5 Seconds
• Example2: If it's your 2nd mute, then OLDTIME = 5 and X = 1, therefore the equation becomes: 5+10*1+5 = 20 Seconds

Keep increasing X and you will get the following table:
