In general, I report anyone who uses the /trade channel for idiotic spamming with each of my accounts. And yes the "intelligence-challenged" anal [whatever] spam is top of the list. Doubt it has any effect, except the temporary /ignore that reporting someone for spam generates, but that'll be up to Blizzard to police - it's their game after all.
We don't get the "anal" jokes on French servers. At least not yet. We did suffer the Chuck Norris ones, but this seems to be over.
I report quite systematically /trade spamming when I am in town trying to actually buy or sell something. And I also like to think that reporting five times helps attracting MJ attention. I never said I was doing it, though, but I will, great idea Ken. I will also give a try to the addons Ughmahedhurtz linked.
It's vulgar and not funny. I personally report any and every one I see doing that sort of thing. Murloc, Anal, whatever.
Personally I think blizzard needs to ramp up 2nd offense violations on these, the warnings stop some folks, but I see the same offenders in the channel every day...
Of course, I saw a guy make an anti-semantic joke in trade, reported him and actually spoke to the GM about it, and the guy was on the next 3 days as well... yet a guildmate of mine earned himself a (well deserved) 3 hour vacation from WOW by spamming a short bus ascii art into trade a few hours before raid...

Bwhahahaha! I haven't heard it called that in forever! I bet less then 1/2 the people understand what that means without googling it.Originally Posted by 'Ughmahedhurtz',index.php?page=Thread&postID=13175 0#post131750
This is one of the reasons trade is off on my units. I turn it on every so often and it's the exact same jokes that were running through there like a bad case of Montezuma's Revenge a year ago.
On the other hand, a quick search reveals folks are working on solutions to the peurile nitwits endless sophomoric banter: http://www.wowinterface.com/download...SSinTrade.html
And this one is especially appealing: http://www.wowinterface.com/download...radeBlock.html
BRB...need to go test 'em.
[edit] ASSinTrade works great! Just have to edit the LUA to add more filters (like "LF JC" which isn't in by default). Well worth the effort. Hafta wait 'til primetime to test the other one.
No, it's not funny. To quote the Master: No, no. That wasn't funny. Hmmm, you see I'm not making myself very clear. Funny is like this [He smilies manically] Not funny is like this [He frowns] And right now, I'm not like - [He smiles again] - I'm like [He frowns] because you are traitors. Yes, YOU ARE! As soon as you saw the votes swinging my way, you abandoned your parties and you jumped on the Saxon bandwagon. So, this... is your reward. [He pulls out a gas mask and puts it on]Omg how many anally repressed people are on this forum? I SO agree with pinot, shit like that can be funny, even you guys agree its funny. But the problem is, they made the joke 3 months to late so you report them.. hypocrites.
Must say the gms in the us are a lot faster with warnings, the shit that goes on in my servers /2 goes way beyond this crap, and i never even heared of somebody getting banned/warnings, thank god. Keep the repressed on 1 server so they can keep eachother company!
The only thing that might possibly be funny and only the first time is Anal [rentetive] but since there isn't a spell called that yet, not funny to anyone over the age of 5.

Don't forget you will get some multibox hate by doing that ;)
And I suggest doing that in /1 because else it's also spam and you might get corrected for that. People with /2 active generally also read /1 anyway.
I thought /trade was just another way to keep Barrens chat with you at all times.
Trade and General are the first things I turn off for all my toons when I create them.

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!

The short answer: I press "report spam" because it's spam and disallows people to use the trade channel what it's meant for.How can you report someone for saying murloc? Quoting EA Sports... It's in the game!
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.
I report that anal shit (no pun intended) all the time. I was never funny.

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!
