I would like to see a 5 or 10 or 15 second delay between the same person posting on the trade channel. Some districts are jus tout of control. Not sure if this is the right place for this. sorry if it is not

That would be nice.

Better off, I wish they were just banned.

This would be a easy to implement stop-gap solution, but I think the bigger problem is that there is no good way to show a large audience of people (some of which are looking for an item) that you happen to be selling the item. Thus, people spam the trade chat (or all chat).

I'd rather push for some sort of medium where the above can happen.

This has become a BIG PROBLEM. I urge the developers to please implement a system where idiots cannot spam the trade channel. I know someone will jump in and say "well, turn off the trade channel"
What if I want to see what is being sold? What if I'm trying to sell something? Almost every town I pop into, at LEAST one kiddy is spamming like crazy

Yes I agree completely and I try to limit my ads to once every minute or so and if I see someone spamming like that I just leave the district and find another. Trade chat is hard enough to read as is for me especially given the tiny window (not sure if you can resize or not haven't attempted to customize my interface yet) I can't think of any solutions that wouldn't lead to more problems. Player stores ala L2 playing would clog the already crowded LA districts with people who are afk and logged on 24/7 with things to sell. Some say that the length of the text allowed to type is too short to implement a gag and I will agree it is hard to get all the information on what you are selling out. I usually end up shortening everything I have or just giving the most imporant details and then adding PST at the end of the ad.
