-image removed ~ no negative postings of ingame names
Image pretty much sums it up, why do people do this?

The image does pretty much sum it up.

First, they spammed the trade
...
Then, people turned it off.
..
Then, naturally, they need to spam the local, because there must be some people out there who give in, and buy stuff spammed in local.

I know that personally, i would never buy something that was spammed on local on principle, but, while i'm sure i'm not alone, there is likely people who will buy from local, and since people are rarely going to just turn local off, while leaving trade on .. it *is* allowing the spammer more coverage ... hoever much it annoys us.

Of course, this could be avoided if they stopped spamming the trade every 2 seconds, but like *thats* ever going to happen.

**edit - oh yeh, and you can't go displaying the players name like that, edit it out of the image or something**

I'd like an auto-ban function that immediately deletes the account when a player posts "WTS" or "WTB" in local chat.

I think anet can't do much to fix this. What they indicated is there going to implement a trade house / auction house which will help with these issues.

Once this is in effect, if someone is spamming it will be due to < tradehouse/auction cost prices and they will be near said places of establishments.

As soon as WTS / WTB get altered based off a filter people will come up with new terms for them.

Unsurprisingly enough, this isn't new.

Also, posting people's ingame names in a bad light generally isn't allowed. Closed.
