As someone who reports RMT adds in the group finder you have to pay close attention to not accidentally throw these type of listings in with the rest of them.
Compounding the problem is vague RMT listings directing people to discord or somewhere to make the final hard sell.
Technically I would guess the posts are advertising, but I don’t intentionally report them. I would guess your problem is people that do report them accidentally and otherwise.
Nobody wants someone banned for streaming. They want them to stop advertising their website in game.
Advertising sites has always been against the rules. Nobody should have to ignore spam adverts - because they should not be in game in the first place.
Then would you care to explain the twenty plus WOWGold RMT carries found in LFG for arena and RBG that are never removed even when reported? Double standards are more apparent than ever.
Back in my day we just called this starting a guild. Recruiting guild members and raiding with them. You can also do cross server communities.
When it comes down to it you got silenced for using a group finder tool to advertise your stream and recruit followers for your stream so you can get paid while you raid. If you used this tool to recruit guild/community members you’d also get silenced for advertising because that not what the tool is for.
Those are also against the rules. The RMT sites have a ton of accounts and just keep spam posting 
I really wish Blizz would find a way to prevent them from even posting those. Filters, something?
So I can agree blizzard should embrace the community that helps the game thrive i’ve started to play with streamers the past few months and game has been more enjoyable then when I wasn’t the streamers are what keep alot of people playing the game. I personally think the people at blizzard don’t have their priority strait as you let people sell carries for real money and do nothing about it no matter how much people report them.
The there is no right to allow them to comtinue posting and hand out punishments to streamers who arent even guaranteed money by people watching their stream. They are an actual RMT company and are paid for services. The streaming community is not guaranteed money and actually try to help the game. Which is the bigger threat? Honestly, until Blizzard gets a handle on the RMT sites, no one should be getting banned or silenced for it at this point as it shows a lack of care or concern in dealing with the sites and is only hurting those attempting to promote the game.
They do ban those accounts. The websites have thousands of accounts, many stolen.
Neither one gets to post advertisements. Nobody is allowed to advertise their websites, period. Not streamers, not RMT, not car salesmen, not anyone.
If someone wants to advertise they can do it on their own platforms or via their own paid promotional sites. Not Blizzards game.
This is how the rules have always worked - and Blizzard has been fighting it since the start.
They aren’t doing that well though. Why should blizz copy what a failing game is doing?
So basically what they says is that the blizzard staff don’t care about the community that makes the game more enjoyable to the people that play it.
And yet you just stated that they ban RNT sites yet they go on new accounts. I know for certain i have seen the same person queue day after day selling for those RMT sites and not be banned, which tells me those accounts are not being touched at all. I find this very contradictory and more aimed at just assuming streamers are out for cash grabs.
No. It means that the community - as in paid subscribers, don’t want advertisements in game and report those adverts. Blizzard most certainly agrees and always has.
Don’t advertise websites in game.
It dose not matter what someone is advertising. It is not allowed in game.
They aren’t? I just assumed most streamers do it in hopes of “making it big” one day.
Im hearing a lot of parroting and not a lot of actual reasoning as far as why RMT accounts are able to post daily on the same accounts and not be touched, yet streamers who dont put any signage of what streaming platform they are on and simply are known by their stream name are getting put down left and right.
Advertisement means making money off of it streamers don’t make money off of it so it shouldn’t count as a advertisement it also isn’t in the coc that it does count as a advertisement. And in my opinion till the pay to carry stuff gets fixed which i know there are many ways for it to be fixed no one should be banned for it.
Thats an asinine way of thinking. Most streamers like myself look to WoW as a way of getting away from a world full of depression and enjoy making new friends online. To see the hate on these forums towards us and comparing us to Asmongold when i make it a case that NO ONE is required to do anything in my stream by way of monetary support is wrong and profiles us with big name streamers before our time that barely play anymore.
What about the viewers that are generated from doing “viewer carries”? Do they not generate revenue? Isn’t that technically making money from the game?
It does not matter if it makes money or not. Blizzard does not let you advertise or promote third party sites. Period.
It gets reported because other players, who also pay their subs, don’t want to see it and Blizzard agrees.
The game is not there for people to promote their channels, social media, or anything else.
You can’t advertise on the forums either … So yeah.
No streamers don’t make money off of views only if people donate or subscribe which isn’t required by almost every streamer
If they are advertising in their title that they are doing carries, then they are offering a service and should specify if its for gold ingame. If it is not for gold ingame, then it should be reportable. Stresmers donr make money off of views. Anyone with any knowledge of streaming knows this.
