The spam protection tool in World of Warcraft Blizzard recently implemented has received mixed responses from players. While some say that it has been working very well, others claim that it hasn't worked for them and thus have decided to stick with the popular add-on SpamSentry.
Most users on the forum however were reserving their comments until a few weeks have passed. It's great that some players are willing to stop sending out negative comments until they've completely evaluated the tool. This streamlining of the spam reporting is already working now but we should expect to see major results in a couple of weeks. Of course, we have to consider that the spammers have been adopting and changing the modus-operandi to get their much-hated spam out so it might be longer.
Blizzard Poster/ Forum Moderator Drysc gave some information causing much cheering from those in the forums. He said that "Also, as of 2.1 trial accounts can no longer whisper
others unless they have been whispered by that player first, or they
are on that player's friends list. We obviously didn't want this
information known before the patch was released."
Well, this move by Blizzard was called by one user as "laying the smackdown on spammers" and we agree with him. It's nice to see that Blizzard's been doing what they can to lessen the spam on World of Warcraft. Be sure to keep checking back for more news on World of Warcraft.
