Does anyone actually put people into their blacklist? I haven't found anyone who is really aggravating enough to scrawl their name into the list....
Yes. So far only English speaking players who like to shout bad jokes or the same WTS adverts every minute in Ul'dah. But I don't like to make assumptions on where they are from since there are English speakers the world over.

I get that with English text inside of Japanese sentences, where one English letter comes up per line.

I think it's a bug of the chat log rather than something people are doing intentionally. I did report it to SE through their web site, but that's kind of like throwing things into a black box.

Um. My 2 LSs are Japanese so I party with Japanese players about 99% of the time. Usually there is talk in Japanese about the need to disband before actually doing so -- perhaps in the LS chat rather than the Party chat.

Suddenly disbanding without warning to anyone would be EXTREMELY rude and probably not forgotten.

I hope that they were just not able to communicate the need to disband in English and so it seemed really abrupt. ><
