SE, you can do better than this (Regarding Spam)

The problem with removing tells from your chat tabs is that you're also removing your ability to get tells from your friends and / or random players who might need or want something you could help with

Yes true BUT every now and then take a minute to scroll threw the tells, its a bit of a pain but so much better than hearing the ping 1000 times. There are ways to handle/deal with it other than relying on others to fix it for you is what i am getting at.

Yeah but tbh..we shouldn't have to be "handling it" ourselves in the first place

Our thinking is that SE can do MORE.... they, right now, are barely scratching the spam tell problem. They make pittance bans that do little to slow down the amount of tells we get. This is not a new, surprising problem in online games. There have been solutions, that SE has NOT done, that have worked for more than a decade. They are combating this modern day problem with 30 year old solutions that have long been overcome by these vermin.

I don't expect them to completely eradicate spam messages. I expect them to do more than they're doing tho.

or the dev team can handle it since we pay them?

I fully support more options that dev to handle the problem, but for some like myself I found adding a channel as tells and turn off the general channel was my best option since I do majority of chat in fc or ls it's a very optional way for some to handle it. If people fall into my category were they don't use the tell system much really good way to control the spam, now if they revert back to shout and yells that be a different story Again I agree more could be done though.
