People falsly reporting spam in trade chat

doublea2012

Remove your spam system from trade chat so no more idiots can make false reports
this makes your game suck simply because it hasnt been fixed, and ontop of that it keeps you from chatting in any channel including guild chat , that is wrong and is a violation of customer rights freedom of speech people you cant block someone from talking on every chat channel so for 1 get it fixed

What freedom of speech? This isn't a court of law it's their game and forums and they can do as they wish - read the ToS you agreed to you gave up all such rights when you hit "I agree". Welcome to the real world.

My guess is you had the same "Message" up in the chat window 3 times in the same screen and that will get most people to "report" you pretty easy to avoid been reported if you space out your messages I've been doing it since beta and I've never been reported it's not tough.

In all of Cryptic/PWE games if you post more than once in a row, if you have an offensive or even silly name or if you say something inappropriate the chat police will flag you...I'm not saying it's right but it is how things are and PWE has already said they aren't going to change it.

Not saying it is right or anything, but it is all too common for people to actually spam the trade channel. A person repeating the same message 3-4 times in a row, every minute. And to what gain? Others promptly follow suit so their messages don't get drowned in the flood, and we get a flood of the same messages over and over which is rather tempting to ignore.

Personally, I'd rather see a rate limit in the trade channel. For example, same person cannot post more than once every minute. It would reduce the clutter and noise a lot and everyone's message would be equally visible. But maybe that's just me.

Being able to ignore another player seems to me to be enough.

And while speaking of spam, are you only talking to the gold spammers or everyone that floods the channels with party requests as soon as DD starts, gauntlgrym DD starts etc. etc.?

If you spam any channel more than 2 times, I will report you for spam.
If you use the wrong channel (post trades in Zone, post LFM in Zone, post trades in LFM, etc.) even 1 time, I will report your for spam.
If you are annoying or otherwise disruptive to any channel, I will report you for spam.

There is no such thing as a "false report" for spam.

I don't report if it's once that they do the post in the wrong channel. I'm pretty sure people have thought they typed /lfg and just reposted their lfg post in the wrong channel. I've even accidentally done it before and then changed it to the correct channel.

But yes... if you're being disruptive to a channel I'll ignore, if you're spamming I'll report spam. People need to realize report spam is for the messages that get repeated and are disruptive and posted rapidly. Those people deserve a report spam.

If it's wrong channel or discussing things on the wrong channel - then I just ignore them.
