Great community!!! so much better than the WoW Forums!!...... lmfao

I've yet to be told to end my life or had the sexual preferences of immediate family questioned here, so... yes, unironically yes.

I guess it depends on your server because i have seen people shout out but would be far from "flooding" chat. If you see it flooding your chat report it. If SE sees it as they are breaking rules then they will deal with it but honestly rp'ing is just like any other part of the game so yeah they have just as much right to use the same tools as anyone else as long as the are posting in the right spots just like someone selling a piece of equipment or looking for a group for fates or a duty. Honestly i am still amazed to see how much effort some of these people put into their little corner of the community. I dont really rp but i cant help but drop into these places every now and again just to show a bit of appreciation for it so if it werent for the game coms or party finder i would never know about them.

I keep it for funny stuff, hunts, people asking help for clearing content or pf messages. Also having to disable one feature just to get rid of spammers with their venues is one way of letting people do whatever they want and limit the players who actually play the game for its content outside of the RP/ERP communities

what if I dont want to see "funny" stuff, because I find most of /yell humors annoying nicely put.
What if I use hunt discords for hunts and dont want to have it spammed in game when im not interested in doing them?
what if I dont want to see people asking for help?
and especially PF messages.

why should all those be there when clubs arent?

you like "x", others like "y", either x and y can exist together or none should.

Bc "clubs" are dragged over from real live while the hunts etc were part of the game lol.

Or they can have their own place to advertise instead of bothering everyone ? Also they use throwaway chars to spam, so a block list doesnt help.

Removing shouts and yells is not a solution either. People shouldnt have to do that just so they dont have to deal with venue ads.

A new channel only for all kinds of advertisement would be a good compromise, i think.

Yeah who doesn't love to go a place full of people wearing 2b bottoms and afking while doing bee the dance meanwhile everyone is waiting for that nasty /tell.

I love my 2B stuff. It was the only reason to level my alt on Zalera to get those 2B clothes. :3

I could see an advertising tab on the PF and maybe a vendor chat channel that SE could implement.

But I'm really not sure what else people expect them to do. There are already rules about spamming or inappropriate content.

I've seen a lot of these complaints over 8 years of playing about one thing or another in shout chat. So this isn't something that just came about with venues. There are all kinds of things in shout chat. If someone is incredibly bothered by it, then blacklist if you need to. And maybe even try to get together with your server community to work out some general guidelines. But I think the things SE could do in this situation are limited without measures that would affect innocent chat or would be invasive. So this is probably something we as a community need to address, minus the couple of things I mentioned that SE might implement to help.

How are "clubs" dragged from real life? If your talking just the concept then hate to be the one to say it but so to then do hunts. People hunt in the real world. Simply put square put all the housing decor and such in game for the purpose of role playing so its about as much as part of the game as hunts. Just sayin

If you want a list of weird films...I got a list for you.

Dead Ball

This is the first two minutes: A kid is playing catch with his grandfather. The grandfather tells the kid to throw a real heater. The kid is like "aight" and then slowly lifts one leg till it is straight into the air, blasts off like a literal rocket into space, and then throws the ball back to his grandfather which explodes his face.

Thankskilling

A turkey kills really dumb kids. Enough said about this one.

Slashers

Contestants willingly join a game show where they have to survive for the length of the runtime of the show while 3 killers roam the area to murder then. The show gets so popular they run a test episode for an all American cast to see if they can branch into other countries.

How are "clubs" dragged from real life?

During COVID, because people weren't able to go out and socialize as they normally would have, they started congregating in night club/dance club venues. Before this there was a greater relative variety of venues that were primarily used by RPers. Ever since COVID, and possibly Preach's hours' long stream of a big club event, they now tend to be the dominant form of venue the general populace visit. Because the bigger ones also tend to hire real DJs over Twitch or other platforms, there's generally strong motivation to get a large audience, hence the ad spamming.
