Ah yes, the famous announcement ingame like theses :

I'd say that if you care about your account or house in this game you have to avoid a lot of people and even avoid erp's, any drama, any change of heart, or these people will use your logs and chats of erp as a blackmailing method, just play the normal game to avoid any of this, this is a plague.

I play on Materia, there are not even enough people for a non-sex club! :P

There yall go again with the not enough people on Materia bull crap. I play on Materia, Ravana, and it is crowded. Even at night I am in a short que. There are popular clubs advertised all the time and I've been to a few where I had to leave because overcrowding isn't fun. Lalafell's don't party with talls.

Assuming they're putting the PF ads in the "other" section, it's quite easy to filter them out. And they should be putting them in this section. They're supposed to, anyway. Pretty sure you have grounds to report them if they put it somewhere else.
The shoutchat spam is annoying as hell though, I agree. I filter shoutchat for my own preferences, but for people who want to see the garbage "debates" held in that channel, it sucks to have to put up with spam.

Was wondering where you got to! Hope you are well!

But I gotta say, for a tall, that joke clearly went right over your head.

All the 'Live DJ' stuff is annoying to hear as well... none of them are.. and 'live bands' when the only thing you get to see is just another bard bot band ran from someones mums basement and the likes.

Annoying to watch... Also these things are promoting stuff as well that is prohibited for minors as well and is a reason to that SE should look into it, one thing is what people do in private that is one thing, but openly promoting for it and spamming it everywhere is not.

Was gonna stop and explain it but cbf. Re-read it, you'll get there eventually.

Am I? Stay tuned!

Every day in shout chat "COME CHECK OUT OUR CLUB WITH DJ AND GAMBLING AND TOTALLY NOT BROTHEL SERVICES." Constant ads in Party Finder, sometimes the same club being advertised three times.

I get people like these, I really do. It's not my thing, and normally I would ignore it; but every time I log in and even poke my head in one of the main city states, these ads constantly pollute shout chat and party finder. Blacklisting is only a band-aid fix because the criers who are hired rotate very quickly. Turning off Shout Chat is also a bandaid because one should not be forced to turn off an in game function that can be incredibly helpful in many situations (shout calling for a Rez is one such thing.)

Don't get me started on how some clubs are openly advertising gambling, or some openly offering ERP through 'escorts' and 'dancers'.

Again, not shaming the people who go to these, that's entirely on them: I just want them to tone back just a bit and not flagrantly skirt the TOS. And maybe not have more than one ad in Party Finder?

Yeah I am on the same boat with you. I don't know why it became so popular to the point where it has to be blasted out to no ends on shout chat. I don't know why there is advice out there suggesting to "turn off" shout chat when shout chat is used for so many things. Its not fair to the average player who does not like spam. And honestly I think about the brand new players who enter the game and is reading all of this. They wouldn't know what to do, and probably would try to ignore it while doing MSQ. When the spam is this bad; I know they too would even be annoyed with it.

I'd think people would be more respectful about how many times they should advertise. When I do recruits for my FC; I only do one shout out for it once every other day. Of course I can only do it on my server, but even so; I feel like I am overflooded by these other advertisements that hop from server to server spamming the shoutchat. Heck there is players from other datecenters doing it now. Its terrible. I feel bad for my tiny effort to get my FC name out there because I am sure a lot of people are just tired of seeing ads in the first place. People think it does not affect the average player; but it do.
