Abuse of the report system for legit in-game sales

Yeah really. The moment ANYONE wants to decide they don’t want to see the message - that message is in violation.

No you can’t - unless you go back to your “irrelevant” piece of criteria. Which in a trade channel is by definition relevant - exchanging gold for services.

Here’s a better though…don’t be a jerk in game and you don’t have to worry about it…

I wasn’t aware that people advertising boosts in accordance with the rules were being jerks. News to me!

Not really, in the context of the game ruleset it requires it to be in some way disruptive or enough to upset a player.

The name of the channel doesn’t decide what gets posted there, sorry for you to find out that’s not any rule. :3

That’s what I’ve always thought.

I never understood those people that preferred to read all of the “butt”, political, ignorant, and/or racist comments in trade chat.

What exactly are you going on about? Trade chat is meant for advertising boosts.

I don’t think you understand how words work.

But if you want to keep trolling that guy while bumping the thread, I guess go for it.

Considering how many people are tired of the boost spam, should be pretty obvious. Let alone the fact I am also talking about other things, much like how your statement wasn’t just specifically to this since you purposely made it open ended.

Literally just ad homs because they want to be able to spam their adverts for boosts instead of regular chat.

Can be, unless the players on the server find the advertisements disruptive to the channel or otherwise fills the role of being ‘spam’.

I’m pretty sure he’s just trolling intentionally. Nothing about what he’s saying makes a lot of sense at this point.

Apparently not an anatomical term for where poo comes from according to people here including the lvp.

Yeah, trying to tell people that something is “spam,” even though Blizzard straight-up says they allow it, pretty much seals that. Sounds like he also isn’t aware that “spam” means “repeated and excessive” in this game, as it has for the past 17 years.

No there really aren’t not in an efficient manner the only way is ah flipping which takes far more advantage of people being bad than boosting ever did.

Til the ignore function doesn’t work

Not a he, and not trolling. Trying to state someone is trolling because they’re actually quoting the game rules while someone else is arguing against them fits that definition better, thanks. Not my problem you, and others don’t understand the rule-set of the game.

He tried to expand “spam”, but as stated already I don’t think he understands what words mean because selling boosts is specifically relevant and appropriate for a trade chat.

He’s a funny troll that one. At least he’s doing the OP a favor by bumping the thread I guess?

Nope, I already gave you the definition of spam and Blizzards stance on the community reporting such people. If it warrants enough reports to get squelched, and can be seen as disruptive (I.E. Unwanted adverts, even if it’s just once or twice) GMs are not too keen on removing the auto-mated squelch and instead stick with it as a silence.

Further, misgendering someone intentionally after being corrected isn’t something good to do so I’d ask you not to.

And the the ignorance just keeps rolling. What a trip. lol

At least trolls like that are useful for the OPs.

I wouldn’t take it personally. Most people ignore trolls at some point, so he probably never saw what you posted in that regard.

Every single message in every single public chat channel can be classified as unwanted and unsolicited. What is unwanted/unsolicited is not something that’s concrete, it’s something that varies from individual to individual, and is exactly the major issue here.
