Blizz with WoW spam-prevention notes; players still not quite happy |
Ó
Here's the thing: Drysc recently posted updated PTR notes that had new spam-prevention features. Message throttling will be activated making it impossible for WoW players to send large amounts of text at one time. Aside from this, the reporting abilities were also updated:
- Players will now be able to report chat and mail spam with the click of a button. A "Report Spam" option will now be available by right-clicking on a playerÂ’s name in a chat channel, whisper, or mail. Using this option will quickly and easily report the player to our in-game support department for review.
- When you report a player, he or she will automatically be added to your ignore list for your current session. You won't see any chat or mail from that player until you log out and back in.
- These tools function on a per-account basis, meaning that reporting one character on an account will ignore all chat text and mail from that entire account until you log off.
- You will not be able to report players on your friends list or in your guild.
The above mentioned features, as well as other changes, with the upcoming Black Temple patch.

You can't ban whispers of low levels what a stupid idea, what they have implemented is fine and will work well.
Although a temporary black list would be good restricting his whispers until reviewed, leaving only guild chat and local chat as a means of communication
but then anyone falsely reporting people will need to be punished to prevent people trying to annoying legit players.
which is probably why they won't implement a system that works immediately to stop others from also being hit by the spammer, they may implement it if things get bad enough though
This change basically does exactly what SpamSentry did minus hiding the message and without having to wait in the GM queue to report a spammer. It's a good temporary measure and will probably decrease the annoyance on their GMs, while giving most players a feeling of having a little control over the situation.
Again, a good -temporary- measure. Something more needs to be done as well.
