Received Warning In Game For Chat - What Did I Say?

Nah, LookingForGroup is for chatting.

No, not really. It is for looking for groups specifically. This has come up before on the forums…where someone got upset they got reported for not using LFG as actual LFG.

Player made post, but in a thread with Blues who did not correct it. If it was not correct they would have removed it or posted a correction. This was 2022 even, so this is not new.

making a few comments in LFG

To touch on this part, since others have pretty much covered the rest. LFG channel is not for chatting, banter or anything else that isn’t explicitly trying to put a group together. It is not a global variant of Trade/Barrens chat. People have absolutely been silenced and even suspended for misusing the channel. You can be sure that if you’re getting warnings for nattering on, others are too, so just because you think you’re being unfairly chastised and no one else is? You’re so very wrong. “Everyone else is doing it!!” Yeah, and they’ll likely be rolling in here to rage in a few days once things catch up with them.

Adding as I go

Mass Reporting

It was never meant to be a global Trade/Barrens chat. People have been getting sanctioned more and more, as well as they should be, for all the excess chatter. And, it only takes a single report to flag up a GM review. LFG is …wait for it now… a channel to look for people to fill groups. Not guild adverts, not boosting services, not jokes or politics. Just because they used to let that behavior slide does not mean it’s okay or allowed. They’re cracking down on rules across the board. Pla…

And this one is my own post referencing previous Suspensions for “chatting in LFG”. They deleted the thread eventually but the title remains - and makes it clear they were penalizing for chatting in LFG in 2022.

He was actually suspended and made a whole thread about it.

Then decided to just bump lots of threads here about the same thing.

I think he is not aware that they found Silences to not be very effective and now Suspend people for chat infractions.
