My first Account Action Warning LOL

The long answer:
I think you're completely missing the point. Trade chat is meant for trading and general chat is meant for general chat. Any general chat in the trade channel is spam by definition. It requires no extra effort to post it in /1. There are people who actually use the trade channel for what it was made for and those people's messages get lost because of the spam. The spam you describe basically disallows people to use a part of the game because their messages get wiped away instantly by the spam.
I don't report all the spam there, but I will definitely start reporting when there's a constant flow of spam in that channel which makes it impossible for me to track the actual trade messages.

Right you are, Ken!

HA! I've always wanted to say that and be correct.

It's pretty simple, if you want a world chat channel, just create one. Type /join analshitisfunny and tell every other retard to join it, too. Then you can all spam that crap wherever you are! You don't even have to sit in Shatt and waste our time!

Yes, but the mouthbreathers would complain because someone would password protect it, etc., because it's basically like IRC: the person with the most seniority has all the admin privileges unless they assign it to someone else.

Is there any way to report spam on someone using a / command? Ie: turn off DNP on keyclone and type /report spam <name> to auto report the person with all 5 of my characters? If so I would so report people more often.

The reason those people spam those stupid anal links is because they think they're funny and being unique somehow. If they were all stuck in a room together spamming anal links, they would
A) Not be annoying anyone so that goal would not be accomplished.
B) They would not feel unique anymore as everyone in the channel is spamming the same stupid crap.
C) I believe it's an attention issue.

But take it how you will, I report senseless crap constantly in trade or even in battlegrounds. I am just a cynic.

report spam x5

There's a reason I don't read /1. I want to have /2 up when I need things and have it be usable.

I am shocked by the number of people who report constantly. I have been playing wow since it released and I only reported people who curse me out in tells which has only happened maybe a few times. I dont have time to waste reporting every person who says something I dont like in this game. I guess the people who always say Reported are not kidding. They need to make a new title for wotlk called Jr. Report Police. How can you report someone for saying murloc? Quoting EA Sports... It's in the game!

I have never once told a user I was going to report them. That is pointless.

The Anal linking is absolutely stupid, it goes on so heavily on Blackhand that at times you will get 20-30 bullshit lines for every ONE line of chat that belongs in /trade. The ONLY reason people use /trade instead of /general is that /trade goes to all capitol cities, so even if you stealthed into the alliance/horde capitol you have access to stupidity.

Now here's the problem, I actually LIKE having access to the trade channel, on a rare occaision I see a real steal of a deal, or "Gee, I wish I had thought of buying that for these guys" and it's something I don't want to give up. Leaving the channel because some immature dipshit thinks Anal [Skill we have all seen a thousand times] is funny just isn't right. Blizzard needs to crack down on these guys and not give them a warning past their first one. Start giving vacations, and bigger ones with each additional infraction.

I got warned once for being offensive. Someone was being a name-police on an RP server, so I walked up to them on all five guys, /salute, and "heil fuhrer!"

@ Pinot.. X( don't be one of them man. It's already bad enough on our server. Mag trade is ftl. :thumbdown:

@ Don, I have been using AiT for a few months now. Can you PM me your LUA file? I kept screwing mine up trying to alter it. I PM'd the author of AiT and asked him to give us some slash commands to add / remove filter keywords, but I got no reply.

It's all fun and games until some parent finds that their minor child starts using the word "anal" in suggestive ways because it's "common language -- everybody does it".

Please remember that this game is not 18+, and as few multiboxers as we are, each of us is a representative of our community. We may think it's "funny", but in perspective -- it's against the rules in a game that may include children. As since it's against the rules (and we've all agreed thanks to the dual-boxing forum rules that we wouldn't discuss purposely breaking them)...

THREAD LOCKED.


It's wrong because Blizzard says it's wrong. It's wrong because you were actioned for it.

It doesn't matter if it's "funny".
It doesn't matter if it happens "all the time".
It doesn't matter if certain people get away with it and you didn't.

You were warned by a Blizzard employee not to do such things. Therefore, there need not be any discussion on whether it's "wrong" or "right". It's wrong. Whether or not it's "funny" is irrelevant. Certainly don't ENCOURAGE it.

Bragging about how you broke the rules on a forum that has very clear standards to uphold the rules was not smart, nor funny, nor useful.
