    On B-Team I've had several players complain about not being able to use large numbers, specifically several zeroes in a row (such as "I've got about 1000 claim blocks"). Can we modify those settings so large numbers can be used? What is the reason for banning large numbers, other than "spam"? preventing phone numbers?

    thanks.

    i do agree that it did get anoying when you type 1000 it goes to 100. it would be nice is if the highest number in a row could be 5 instead of 3 (so instead of only being able to type 100 you would be able to type 10000). because i dont see any true reason why you would need to say a higher number then that.

    For example if I were to say in chat, "I have 1,000 MyM's" When I press enter it would auto-correct the 1,000 to 100. Therefor we can't write out large numbers in chat.

    Is there a difference if you type 1000 or 1.000?

    1.000 doesn't work, but 10,00 does. it cuts it if you put more than 2 zeroes...so 1000 becomes 100. Apparently I am able to type 1000, but players are not.

    a couple other players helped me test it. I can't prove they typed "1000", but I'm pretty sure they did. As you can see, I am able to do it now, but they can't.[DOUBLEPOST=1430142910,1430142872][/DOUBLEPOST]I tested this on BT1 and BT2 this morning.

    I tried it (Successfully-as a mod) on both BT1&2, the screenshot examples from the players I believe we're all on BT1. I can do more testing tonight after the Army is done with me for the day.

    I changed some things on Bteam 1 that's why I ask.
    If it works on B-Team 1 now then I will make the same change on B-Team 2

    possibly, if they can't do it as well, the @CrashLanding group should know about it then
