Gold Sellers: How to get rid of them!

[Sylvanas 0]

As you see there is allot of Gold Sellers that spam by whisping you....
Every time when some Gold Seller get reported and Admins bann him, he is just simply making a new account and keep spamming until the next bann..

So to reduce all this whisp spam the Admin have to make everyone until lvl 10 to not be able using the Whisp chat or World and when the Gold Seller get banned he has to level up until he reach level 10 so he can start to spam again and when he do that soon enough he will be banned again that way he will give up.. even if he don't wont be wurf to spend so much time leveling over and over again! All we need to do is just to report him as soon we can.

 I know this might be a to harsh for a 1x Vanilla server but we have to get rid of those annoying spammers, they are destroying the economy!!! Those Gold Sellers are like a disease for our server so we must find a cure even if the cure is a knife with 2 edges.
If you guys have any other ideas please share !

Spammers don't destroy the economy, they are just annoying.The actual selling and buying of gold is the problem and can only solved by banning every person that is involved.

It's an illegal spam account that will probably get banned after a few hours. No one is stupid enough to let humans level the characters to level 10.

They will use bots to level up new spam characters, while the old ones are spamming. The only thing that will change, is the gaming experience for new players.

Even IF we can get rid of the gold spammers: If I would want to buy gold, I wouldn't buy from those annoying cunts that are constantly pissing me off ingame.

Gold buyers don't need them, they have Google.

That's what these advertisments are made for. They don't sell glod, they sell the idea of buying glod. And you seem to have bought the idea already. Shame on you!

He did say if dude, I dont think he means he will buy gold. But yeah, you're exactly right - they're just there to plant the seed!

I saw an addon thats supposed to filter out alot of it but can't remember what it was called - its on the forum somewhere tho!

They are just running bots to level their characters to minimum level. Increasing the minimum level just makes them run their bots longer, but it doesn't make it any harder.

Chat restriction is already in place at Level 10.

The spammers wouldn't be there if people weren't buying gold or boosts or whatever they sell.

The other way they might leave is if a better opportunity comes along like another game launching. I remember on retail, when one of the Diablo games came out , the spammers disappeared almost overnight and were gone from the servers I was on for a long time.

Or better create flooding limit, i.e. you send 5 within x amount of sections timed out for x amount of minutes if the message is the same

A few days ago, I was looking for a tank. I /w ~ 50 players with the same message.

All that Vanilla experience that people craved for includes also lack of option to report spammers from chat. Devs could also code some script to report gold sellers from chat, whenever they would get more than X complaints in Y time (only by clicking chat) account could have been suspended for investigation.

But you know, it's Vanilla!

The chat whisper is already restricted to level 10 and as you see spam is not that much atleast for me none spam me
This make it hard for them becouse even if they use bots to level up so they can spam again.. This bots take time and when they got banned they need to wait this time again so they can spam isn't this make it hard for them?? to level up with bot or however in 1x vanilla until level 10 is allot of time after all u might need more then a half day and how good and fast u think one bot will be able to level up?

Well for me it's still the same amount of spam.

Seems like it's pretty easy for bots to get lvl 10

hi guys, dont know if you see alexensual's video about an addon that can filter words you dont want to read in game. Easy to use and that changes your game experience! Check his video or look for: spamThrottle addon.
