Banned 71 hours for spamming?!
8 pages • Page 4
I've heard of more cases of such bans that happened today so i guess it's a new organised action against spam.
We know they have an option of *muting* an account so why not use that instead of a ban?
And the exact rules about what behavior qualifies for a ban should be made public. Towns are still as full of spam as they were before but some random people got hit by bans.
And i know it's not an excuse but there IS a real need for a new greatly impoved trade system...

Second, trade spam is in more than the first district of each city. And as it has been stated many times here before, Local chat is not meant for trade full stop.
I personally refuse to buy an item if its placed in chat via spamming, regardless of channel.

If you have trouble following the WTS ads in the legitimate trade channel, go to a less populated district where you can find a market pace closer to your ability to follow. |

Usually poorly described, but even worse three times the same message in a row, this is abbusive spam. In the EULA is stated that spamming is not allowed thus this should result in a ban too, IMO. Now if you "spam", once per 25-30 lines or so, i can perfectly live with that. But repeating to just draw attention is just a bad mechanism that interferes with the chat space for others. Like messages written in CAPS, same stuff, and giving you a headache, try that on a forum, and see how long you will last.
I hope this clears stuf up. If you still disagree, and think that stuttering traders are a legit means then i can only suggest to read the EULA.

I also refuse to buy an item when people say it's 'Q9'. It makes no sense. 'Requirement' begins with R.

The bans you will see are the wackos that insist on "spamming" their wares in the local CHAT channel. Go have a cookie.
ARENANET'S GRATUTITOUS BANNINGS IS AN EXAMPLE OF A WEAK AND INEFFECTIVE POLICY AND IT'S PROOF THAT THEY SUCK!
THIS IS THE END! OF GUILD WARS! GO PLAY WOW, WHERE THEY BAN YOU FOR ACCIDENTLY SAYING JUST ONE BAD WORD!
...hehe.
If such a policy is intact, I'm surprised we haven't seen more posts about such bannings. From what I see in LA/Kaineng/Kamadan, half of the people there should be banned in a similar manner.

I think this change/update/something could be interesting, if it isn't just a few isolated incidences.
