/IgnoreAccount Is Desperately Needed

[Corder 0]

The gold spammers are a big problem....  I think an easy solution to move us in the right direction is to add functionality to the /IGNORE command.

In this case, having /IGNORE completely ignore the entire account (all characters) of that person, we may have a reduced annoyance or less frequent encounters with gold spammers.

Wtf you talking about? Accounts getting banned if someone used it for gold selling adds. Aslo you can use .wr on command, only people from your friends list/guild/raid will be able to whisper you. Just type: .wr on; wr off to turn it off.

I wasn't aware of the /wr on; /wr off.  Thanks for that info, I'll definitely use that.

So my next question is, when you /IGNORE a person, does that stop them from sending you in game mail as well ?  

Because my original point was that spammers and gold sellers not only message you, but also send in game mail.  They will hop on another character on that same account and send out many in game mails.  So if the /IGNORE option blocks in game mail as well, and if it further blocked all characters on that person's account from receiving messages and mail, it would probably lower the amount of times we have to deal with those people...

I don't know if I'm being clear with my question either... do you understand what I mean ?

Yes, /ignore stops any/all communication from that player. Group invites, guild invites, mail, etc. However, I don't think vanilla can support something like /ignore'ing an entire account, seeing as the ignore function is character-based.

 

Honestly, gold spam mail is not a big problem. There are mail addons like CT_MailMod and Postal which automatically delete mails that don't have attachments.

Gold spam mail is much less annoying than gold spam whispers.
