Yell chat spam driving me nuts

[Divinas]

How you people deal with it? Should I just blacklist all the people who spam selling something over and over and over and over?

Hi

There is a chat filters window under a second menu > config to turn off the /yell spams. Unfortunately, that has been going on for years and there is no way to stop it.

I know a script to stop it but I am not allowed to share it on the official forums as the rules say so.

I'm usually on a server that's quite a bit more quiet-like, and the yells are not an issue there.

When I do visit Asura, I have the filter enabled so I don't see any of it. ^^;

Just turn on the chat filter, or move to Bahamut if you want nobody talking in /yell

You can only see /yell in towns btw.

move to Bahamut if you want nobody talking in /yell

so you deal with by telling people to move off, nice meme

There is a difference between talking and absolute drivel.

I blist. The expansion of the blist has enabled me to go beyond the original 100 cap (which was definitely needed). Once you get most of the JP/EXP sellers and usual trolls, things get pretty quiet.

What is drivel to you is entertainment to others. The world does not revolve around you.

Just blist hundreds of people, then complain when nobody invites you or replies to anything you ask for help with.

I don't have to worry there because most of the trolls are typically mercs or don't seem to leave town anyway. I wouldn't rely on /yell anyway, like most people, I use Linkshell(s).
In case you haven't notice, yell aside from Mercs and RMT is pretty dead anyway, so to rely on that for doing content would mean sitting in town for hours, fingers crossed.

yell chat is near dead most of the time, not only on ffxi but most online games. Mainly because of intolerant whiners.

One person doesn't like this, one doesn't like the other, another doesn't like something else and in the end nobody talks about anything.
