The emote spam issue

[KingXRay]

actually emote spam too much will get you banned though for ToS for Spam...very long ago i was spamming throw snowball to my friends then i receive a email warning for spamming emote and breaking ToS for Spam lol. so pretty much i always turn off my emote log for everyone now for spamming coz emote spamming always happen in my fc gathering since we taking group pictures before /gpose even come out lol

Its a total ridiculous that emote spam is violating the ToS. There are way worse things where SE doesn't give a s... about but for that or stepping to often into a character is a violation of ToS.

It's like that in other MMO games as well. In WoW being reported for emote spam will get you a warning or temp ban, depending on account's track record.

You also have to remember, 20 other people should not have to move away, black list a person, or change emote settings because someone wants to spam emotes in a populated area.

If "stepping into character" requires you to spam the same emote fast and often enough that it shunts everything else out of the chat window within seconds, maybe you should reconsider your RP habits.

First of all: I don't RP, i don't spam emotes and i just read it in the Forum. Second of all: This is still not anything bad since it is a game character and not my RL body.

People take things like emote spam or stepping into their character as a reason to report someone should lear the difference between RL and a game and should stop to take every single fart serious.

A single fart no, but if you're in a room full of people and you keep doing it, you're the one being rude and impolite. Just because YOU want to do something doesn't mean EVERYONE around you needs to be inconvenienced.

There honestly are other Issues they should take care of as first Priority then Emote Spam or .... "Being Stuck multiple times in a Character".
Sorry to say, but the Support is really horrible in the Game after Reporting Bots for a Year now, even the ones admitting it won't get banned.

Like really... Fighting against Cheaters in any sort should be one of the higher Priorities, but then it doesn't really take much to get a Ban if you just call someone a Dork xD

I'm not saying this needs to be the number 1 priority. More of a it should be looked at eventually and possibly reworked.

Doesn't have to flood chat. This is confirmed by a GM when I asked. If you use emotes 10+ times a minute, you are breaking ToS. It doesn't matter what it is. It doesn't matter if it floods chat. It doesn't matter if it's a private area with friends and just one person barely in range threw a fit over it. You don't even have to list the right emotes.

Just a little mention, from someone who did accidentally chat spam /huh in Idylshire. (SOWWY) It is something they take action on, but I do also wish they put a bit more attention on it. I can't deny my /huh, but I was reported for /yes. Made the process confusing to fix.
