Zone Chat is Trade Chat until Official Channel is created.

Title.
Please can people stop complaining and reporting people for spam for trying to sell their items in Zone chat when there is no other official channel for merch's to use. I joined the custom Trade channel myself and it honestly takes like 20 minutes to even see any life in there. It's also a custom channel, we shouldn't be punished for trying to trade in the official channels.
I merch Gold:Diamonds and that's how I make my wealth, please don't tell me to go to the Auction House because I don't use it.
People are constantly using Zone chat for trading and personally I think that people being 24 hour muted for doing this is somewhat pathetic. New players have no idea where to trade and if they see floods of people in chat trading they're going to do it. Why should they risk being muted for 24 hours because players dislike seeing purple on their screen and would rather see nothing there.
If you're one of these people who ignore everyone who tries to trade in Zone chat, please stop. You're actually ruining the game for people for 24 hours because you expect people to use custom channels for everything.
If you dislike seeing trade in Zone, that's fine. Help us get an official Trade channel so we can do it elsewhere. The custom one isn't used, thus people aren't going to use it. People being soft-banned from being able to play because there isn't an official channel is stupid.
This thread acts as discussion on the system, not individual punishments.

Maybe you should?

I don't mind either way - I turn off Zone in Cryptic's titles. Always.
Pretty much this ^^

Mob rule ?
Cryptic just needs to make an official trade tab and get the grouping system working with some respectable features unlike it is now.

Yes, it is mob rule. There's absolutely nothing stopping say, 15 people from not wanting to see somebody to talk for whatever reason at all to put said person on ignore. Suddenly, POOF! instant 24 hour chat ban with no repercussions. And no solution for the banned person, too.

I don't doubt that this has happened sometimes. (this is the internet after all) But I wonder how many of the innocent are really that. It reminds me of a line from the Shawshank Redemption "We're all innocent in here" (paraphrasing from memory)
You may be right and it may be common, but I wish there was someway to get real statistics on it, it would be fascinating.

Trading is one thing. Being a broken down record is another.

Check out the Champions Online Forum and search "Chat-Ban".
I'm not being Snarky. This is a real suggestion. There are God alone knows how many posts on the subject. Enough to get a better understanding of the subject.
'Wen considered the nature of time and understood that the universe is, instant by instant, recreated anew. Therefore, he understood, there is in truth no past, only a memory of the past. Blink your eyes, and the world you see next did not exist when you closed them. Therefore, he said, the only appropriate state of the mind is surprise. The only appropriate state of the heart is joy. The sky you see now, you have never seen before. The perfect moment is now. Be glad of it.' Terry Pratchet The Thief Of Time
You do realize that the "Report Spam" function is there specifically to report gold/real money traders only. To use it to report/silence people that match your general definition of spam is actually against the ToS.
In fact, (not that they'll ever do it), but those who use the report spam feature on someone who isn't a RMT-er should get a warning, then a temporary, and finally a permanent ban...
Do keep in mind that you can still ignore someone you don't want to hear - you won't have to see what they're shouting and they should still be able to chat.

Spam is spam. Doesn't matter if its a gold seller or a legit merchant. The button is called report 'spam'. If they want it to be used for something else (like only reporting gold sellers) they should specify that openly. Specific official channels would help I'm sure, but you'd still have people who want to advertise to a broader audience across all channels.
Personally unless they are being overly dumb I usually just ignore the ones that annoy me that aren't gold sellers. But there are some claiming that even with enough ignores people still get chat banned. No clue if its true.
So what's the O supposed to stand for? NWTrade I could understand but NWO??

Repeating the same line 5 times in 1 second is definitely spam. I'm not sure what your definition of it is. If you want to sell in zone chat don't do that and you wont annoy 75% of the people in the zone and more than likely wont be silenced, it's simple.
This.

Okay, strange.. The games not named that but whatever..

That may be YOUR definition of spam, or it may even be the generally accepted definition, but in the context of games that use the Cryptic Engine, 'Report Spam' is STRICTLY for reporting real money traders/sellers. It may not be enforced, but to use it otherwise is incorrect.
