Blizzard announces new spam-prevention measures |
Ó
Staying ahead of the game, Blizzard takes a swift under-blow to reduce the number of unwanted, repetitive spam every player gets when they log into the World of Warcraft. Oh wait - at least they hope to try. Although many of the features for the spam-prevention measures are actually spam reporting abilities, they did include a certain message throttling mechanism to cut down on spam.
The upcoming fixes have been announced to go into the live realms together with the 2.1.0 content patch, so treat these new additions as amendments to the full patch notes of 2.1.0:
Reporting abilities:
- 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.
- Players will no longer be able to send large amounts of text at one time, filling a chat screen with a repeating message, large blocks of gibberish, or text that could disrupt an entire conversation. This throttling, along with the new chat-reporting feature should make it much easier to keep unwanted text off your screen before it becomes overwhelming.
