only inside the game!
not disable copy/paste in windowz
its easy....even i can do it inside text boxes on websites for example with basic actionscript.(so that you're not allowed to cpy/paste your username/login)
u just need to make that particular text field (local chat) refuse input from teh buffer. its a 2 second job.

Nothing wrong with copy and past, its just the people who abuse it who are wrong, work on the cause, and do not prohibit a legitimate and handy tool. I.E. ban spammers.

Why copy and paste when you can press the up arrow key?
Winterclaw
Spam bots will take over.

how would threads like this survive without copy/paste
/signed disable the press up to spam more tool, i see no purpose in it other than to spam. And disallow copy/pasted comment into all chat (but allow it in guild halls and stuff i suppose...)

Anything to cut down on spam.
Winterclaw
That's not a pun.
Before I sign this, what would you guys propose to make selling or looking for a seller more convenient?

Try the party search feature? Maybe if we disable spammer's precious spamming abilities, they'll take a hint and start using it.

Better that the up arrow repeat text buffer gets nerfed such that it only allows repeats every 30 seconds or so. That too would gain the desired effect without disabling its useful quality of remembering things you have typed.
When selling I only repeat my sell line for a particular item around once a minute or so, on trade channel, since that is plenty often enough for anyone standing in town to see it, or see it if they missed it the first time. However, last thing I want to have to do is retype it every time or, retype multiple WTS for which the up arrow buffer is very handy.

Although I'm not saying I agree with the OP, I do wonder if anyone can name any reason that the buffer needs to exist other than spam.
Seriously, how is it "useful" for anything other than constantly repeating yourself (i.e. spam)?

Spam of course is not simply repeating yourself. Spam is repeating yourself in rapid succession several to many times in a row, in addition to placing it on the wrong channel. You dont seem to be differentiating between spamming, and simply repeating yourself after a reasonable amount of time has gone by and your item(s) havent sold.
This has the workings of a good idea though if the speed with which the buffer could be repeated was dropped rather than disabling it. Accomplishes more or less the same thing as the OP describes and would cut back on spam some, without requiring one to retype every single WTS they have in que.

Let me explain to you how spam bots could work. You could make a macro that would type the whole sentence for you then just run it over and over again quickly to get the same effect.

It took me ages to find the alt+up key in WoW so you speak the same thing again and it drove me mad. Sometimes, you need to be able to spam.

Agreed. You NEVER need to. If you're looking for a party...*idea*...use party search. Don't even think of giving any of that "Nobody uses party search" as a means of opposing this, as this could be the very way to actually make people use it.

really dumb idea, all copy pasting is a great feature that helps in communication or repeating commands (like /resign
)
and spammers would find many ways around it anyway, just think avout programmable macros/programs that will type stuff for you... I would hate to be forced to use such stuff.

Until there is a valid trade system in gw then i wont be swayed by any arguement.Once a half decent,workable system is made available to people who want to trade then ban spam/spammers....whatever...but not until anet sorts it out.

Ridiculous solution to a problem, if you want to show your support for fixing the problem with trading, trade channels and trade chat, show your concern in one of the other threads with reasonable solutions (like auction houses, traders or improving the party search trade functions).
Milennin
I rather have some timer like you can't enter more than 2-3 messages within 10-20 seconds in Local (and Trade) chat.
