If it gets removed it never should have been there in the first place. We have different ideas of whether or not squelches are a punishment. I think they are, you don’t.
This is why I think it matters. The people who have bought from me clearly outnumber the people who consider it spam. They are paying customers too, and if I were to get squelched the people who haven’t bought from me yet might not get the chance because I won’t be able to advertise. If I had never posted in the first place these 250 would have had to go elsewhere, and most likely pay more. I’m just saying if we’re going by “what the community think” then clearly more of them appreciate or at least don’t care than those who do.
I’m going by videos of people testing it on YouTube. A raid of 10 people seemed to be enough to trigger a squelch if memory serves me correctly.
Or because its just what likely makes sense to me considering the reports are for language and not spam. I believe the language report is intentional because they see it as a bigger issue than spam and more likely to get me squelched with less reports than reporting me for spam would.
Actually this whole thread was just me wondering if I should have a GM investigate a potential harassment through false reporting going on, but from what I can tell Blizzard and me probably have different ideas on what harassment means.
I have actually gotten no proof whatsoever it has anything to do with how often I post. It could very well be for posting at all. Some people don’t want to see profession services in trade chat, even though thats where Blizzard said they should be. Posting them anywhere else I’m sure would also trigger reports by people who don’t want to see them in that channel. At least this way I can say I’m just doing what Blizzard says to do.
No one but the people reporting me.
I misunderstood then. Apologies.
Its within what Blizzard has coded to be the maximum. If Blizzard wants it shorter then they can shorten the maximum length of a message.
Which is not defined anywhere. So it can be argued posting more than once a day is too often. I can’t go on “frequency” if I have 0 clue as to what “frequency” is acceptable. The most common length I’ve seen is 10 minutes, and usually its more than that between my posts. The biggest thing is I sell 2 items back to back, and even then I try to wait a few seconds to allow a message or 2 in-between.
As I’ve already explained, I’ve worded my messages the best I can as it is. If anything I wish they could be even longer. I have enough people still having to ask me questions as it is, and trying to explain the crafting system to 5 different people at once, when they want different items at different item levels, is really frustrating. Maybe in a few months this won’t be an issue, but right now it is. Heck, I still have to explains to people how to place an order sometimes.
People are reporting me for language when I’m not using bad “language”. I think we’re forgetting I’m not even being reported for “spam” in the first place.
I would, but my 250 customers and growing are more important than the less than 10 Karens reporting me.
