Neither of those are true. It takes 20 ignore/report spams and they can accumulate forever. The only thing that resets the counter is actually getting a ban. Also, it is possible for one person to get someone chat-banned.
That's all it takes -- a level of maturity that tells someone, "Hey, I can grief this person for daring to disagree with me, at no consequence to myself!" This is why anyone with two active brain cells should have known that putting the power to affect other's in-game experience in the hands of the anonymous internet user was going to generate abuse.
They make me sad, too, Kitty.
No. I tried this. Repeated attempts to silence someone with the "report spam" feature then five minutes later taking them off ignore to do it again. I did this exactly thirty times. Never once did they lose the ability to spout nonsense. One person, one account CANNOT do it.

It's possible, you just did it wrong. There are people who know how to do it... and if you knew who those people were, you'd know why this is a problem.

just takes 5 alts. this game is free to play, logging over doesn't take a hell of a lot of time. Set the graphics to minimum on 4 of em and hide in the penthouse? I can run 5 copies of this game on my *laptop*.
I'm assuming that's how the griefers do it. I'd say this behavior is screwed up and wrong, but they manage to keep Lucidity from driving away new players with her mental problems, so... You take the bad with the good?

Forum rules prevent me from naming names. I'll just say there's a concrete reason why pvp is so connected with getting chat banned.
see, this makes a little more sense. i also have never been banned, despite being occasionally contentious, and more occasionally unfunny with puns. kind of makes sense though that it would be pvp related.
That, judging from zone chat, thankfully doesn't seem to get people muted. It'd be a terrible thing ndeed if we ever got a griefer group calling themelves Humorless Right To Censor or some such...
Whether a person deserves to be chat-banned or not should only be a decision made by a GM designated for that duty after they've read the conversation, not at another player's discretion. (See sig for more info)
Once i asked another player to stop killstealing, in pm. Instead of replying "oh yes, mate you are right. I am sorry for being another brainless selfish player that does not care at all, my bad" the guy blacklisted me after giving me the standard phrase "Lol wut".
No clue wth is wrong with people these days.
Nothings wrong with people. On a whole people are morons it is you that is faulty because you seem to have some intelligence.

Ooh! Ooh!
I want to know which people.
Whoever you are, be that person one hundred percent. Don't compromise on your identity.
