Just a little question regarding whether my actions are naughty or not,
Whenever people start advertising their sales, I always/normally tell the person to take themselves to the exchange and peddle their wares there, i mean it is efficient on time.. put an offer then go about your business, and doesn't end up flooding chat with 'selling..' 'anyone wanna buy...' 'trading...'
So here it boils down..
Am i right to tell people to stop spamming their unwanted items in chat, or not?
[Combat (Self)] Your Bite deals 2378 (1475) Physical Damage(Critical) to Spawnmother.
I think it depends on what it is. If it's a common item, then sure, it's spam, just go to the exchange. If it's something big like a ship or very rare Bridge Officer then it might be worth mention cause someone can always make a deal around it rather than a straight trade for energy credits.
Yes, your well within you rights. I for one hate the spam in local chat. People have complained since the start of MMO about spam for selling wares. SO much so, evey game out there has a dedicated trade channel, or the ability to create user channels, and yet people feel the need to spam local.
So yes, you have the right, but as we all know, there is no way to stop people from being rude and not using the tools provided.
It's worth noting that for some items, not the least of which are the 6 holiday currencies, the long-standing exchange bugs make it tough to effectively take their sale to the exchange.

If anything, it makes expensive sales significantly easier.
Don't look silly... Don't call it the "Z-Store/Zen Store"...
There are places where trading in chat is acceptable (if its local chat)
these include drozana
Treasure trading station
and anywhere else run by a big fat ferengi
There was some guy at ESD last night spamming his phaser turret for sale for hours on both TheTradingChannel ( which i didn't mind, that's what that channel is for), and zone chat. I suggested he keep it to TTC, which he didn't do. Then I warned him I was going to report him. Kept on. So I reported and ignored him. First time I've ever reported anyone for spam.

I think it's a fair tradeoff.
like a purple mk viii armor, kinda spammy take it to the exchange,
and a lockbox ship use public chat? ^^
Its just nice to get a bit of perspective from other people, thanks ^^
If TRIBBLE (yes, that includes grab-bag ships) was meant to be sold through chat, then the exchange would not even exist.
Wan't to sell it? Go to the exchange...
Edit: And most of the time, the people don't sell the first 15 time they advertise, they just keep going... They simply don't get the message.
In which case I generally report spam them without mercy.

If someone wants to sell something, I'll buy it on the exchange only.

My ignore list is lightyears long from spammers

Looks like a fleet application gone wrong to me.

But I DO think it's ok to spam - Local only in the Exchange areas.
if you want to sell an item list it on the exchange
if you want to Haggle go FAR away from the faction hubs and STAY there
