PSA for the audience: Stop. No one gives a flying frack about your kage bunshin no jutsu or the fact that you're casting Regen on someone.

Use the god damned /echo command if you want to see your character say "cool shit". I promise, no one else thinks it's cool.
I concur. I've seen some that are cute or funny the first few times, but it gets real old real fast.

Don't be too quick to blacklist. Just ask politely. I had this come up recently in a party. Several of my macros had lines in party chat announcing the usage. Nothing fancy, just stuff like "Warcry". It seemed like in the old days, this was acceptable, but times change. Truth is that I was so used to these things that I didn't even notice they were there. When someone asked me to take them out, I did. I've probably still got a few in there that I don't pay attention to (I was just thinking of Haste and Refresh macros on my WHM that still have /p text in them that I keep forgetting to remove).

I think they're still useful for certain abilities, like Chi Blast or Provoke or Stun or anything that pulls monsters. It's a quick and easy alert to the rest of the party that a monster is incoming, or that you got claim on a mob. Or when you're casting an AoE buff and you wanna give the party time to gather in range. I guess the rule of thumb is "Does anyone other than the one target of this spell/ability need to know this is happening?"

But yeah, nobody needs to know every time you
