Earlier today I got on Guild Wars and was spamming in LA for a little bit, when some random person whispers me and says:
"lozl i report you spamming in public chat you are banned!!!"
I'm assuming he's shitting, but spamming is not a bannable offense lol is it?
LOL, since when has spamming been a bannable offense?

Most likely he was angry because you were spamming in the PUBLIC CHANNEL rather than the TRADE CHANNEL. The channel divisions are in place for a reason, yet they are ignored WAY too often. While i dont think this is a bannable offense, i still get quite annoyed with people who do that.
To avoid this use the correct channel for trades/sales/purchase spams.
enjoy.

I HATE local/public channel spammers. Its for chat not spam.

I think the main question is why does one need to spam at GW chats.
TheMosesPHD
My main question is: Why do people even waste their time spamming in LA ad1. Everytime I end up there the text flies by so fast that it's impossible to read anything. You'd think that some of these loons would get a clue and change districts once they see the text flying by so fast.
=HT=Ingram
is not bannable no, but god dam if it is not rude as hell... You can not even communicate to play the game with everything in LA1 now. its become the new Ascalon dist 1. which I always refused to go to once the dam channel spammers took it over, Now I'm FORCED out of LION ARCH as well. SOON its gonna be that bad ALL OVER...
Its getting ridiculous. No one is playing the game anymore all they are doing is farming and spamming to death. How is Anyone suppose to function outside of a guild. If I was buying this game right now, today... I doubt I would have any interest in it. Its hard enough to show interest in it right now when all of this going on.
Its one thing if the spammers were restricted to say Dist 1, OR had a special Traders District... But by no means is this the case. They have INFECTED every district. To the point that at some times of the day it is IMPOSSIBLE to communicate legitimately outside of clan chat.
I am just sick of this. I mean truly Sick, I have seen a great game completely decimated for anyone new that happens to pick it up. I have new people from my clan I am actually telling now that its not worth even trying to play unless all of us are on to help them. Because that is the truth. The general PUG populace is nothing but WORTHLESS A$$ WIPE SPAMMERS!
The number of people that are willing to play the game is drastically shrinking because of the near impossibility to communicate with other players. ONCE UPON A TIME Anet had a system in place that would flash a warning to people spamming messages repeatedly... I would love to see that implemented to have it silence them for a certain amount of time if done repeatedly outside of trade channels...

Well actually any volation of the tou, eula, and RoC have a possibility for banning, but spaming at worst would be a temp ban (though I doubt they would go thru the hastle of it).

Seems a bit trivial, and besides so many do it anyway...
It'd be like trying to arrest EVERYONE who downloaded music illegally (scaled down of course)

Just turn off the All Chat and Trade Chat. That is what I do, plain and simple. If the district is not traffic heavy then I turn both channels back on. I only keep Guild Chat and Team Chat on. As for the Emote Channel I keep that off, period!
Malice Black
agreed
spamming in genral chat should be a banable offense...spamming is for nubs anyway, its easier just to watch for the WTB's then PM that person

Actually, Gaile said that spammers in all chat will be taken care off. What that means, I don't know. But I suspect spamming becomming a banable offence, as it should be imo.

It frigging well should be bannable, not perm obviously but temp for sure. Its getting RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOing annoying searching through ToA for a group to FoW (europe owns you ) with some prick spamming 'WTS 6 ECTO=6k' every second in all chat. They seriously need to stop that sort of spamming.

LA and Ascalon would become nice places to be 
instead of places to avoid.

I for one dont know how they do it? I try and sell stuff in trade and if I try and the smae message out within 2minutes of ach other its surpressed? And thats even when I change what I say. Theproblem is all the bastard spammers make sure nobody sees my stuff as it flies straight off the window in 0.3 of a second.

I agree that spamming is annoying, and that spamming sales in the public channel (not trade channel) is wrong. However, the primary problem here is that ANet *wants* peeps to sale stuff and have an active economy, but they still have not provided a simpler means. They have said time and again that an auction type facility will be provided. They have been saying that for a long time now, and we still do not have it. Until then, folks will go to whatever means to try and sell what they have.
Divinus Stella
Its not so bad when its the occasional normal person trying to sell something, but sometimes you get the chinese monk that turns up called something like "long nunu" and starts doing the usual "ect7kecto7kecto7k..01" "ect7kecto7kecto7k..02" "ect7kecto7kecto7k..03" "ect7kecto7kecto7k..04" in local chat.

the Rules of Conduct and the End User License Agreement clearly state that all forms of spam are not allowed and will lead to supsensions or bans.
you may call me uptight - but i reported several hundred people for the useage of inappropriate names, offensive behavior, spamming, scamming, ... and i will keep on hunting those who violate the RoC and EULA. X_x

how a.net takes action
for those who are wondering what you can do against all the ignorant jerks:
make a few screenshots
send in a report with all needed information (server, district, time, ...)
relax, you just made Tyria a better place for the rest of the community.
rinse and repeat ^^
ps: ignorant jerks are easily provoked to violate EULA and RoC even more. *g*

I first message them and ask them to quit, where I usally get about 10 buckets of profanity thrown at me...Usally having the asshole/noob/N00B/retard/etc assortment
Strikes me funny as hell that a 3.4mil exp mesmer that as not farmed outside of FoW runs is now considered "noob" but whatever.
Fact.
I agreed to the Eula, everyone else who plays GW agreed to that same Eula.
We should uphold that Eula as best we can; by any means necessary.

Its not bannable, BUT u get "points" in your account information at A-nets servers. When u reached the "point" limit the account gets suspended for certain period. Read more on guildwars.com, its there, dont remember where, but its around EULA /User agreement/Rules of conduct.

Small offenses like these result in the minimum suspension, and then it scales upwards from there.
