How long must I wait for a GM to get back to me about a report?

this doesn't really sound like a drop everything emergency, im sure they will get back to you when they can, until then you will just have sit patiently and perhaps learn to cope.

i swear some of you people act like spamming an emote is causing you actual harm, if youre so high strung over something that minor maybe turn of the internet and go back to single player for a bit.

When that emote is spamming your chatbox over and over again, it gets very annoying, very soon.

Spamming. Spamming is excessively repeating the same phrase or action, or otherwise generating an unusually large volume of communications. Spamming is disruptive to players and may prevent them from chatting, reading chat logs effectively, or playing the game.

i get its the slightest bit annoying,

Try extremely annoying. It is.

, but is it "report then come to the forums awaiting retribution for my feefees" bad?

Try thinking of others and acting accordingly then. In a crowded area your "emotes" are disrupting a lot of people, so maybe.....use a little discretion?

right click "general" "Hide log Window."

if your going to mass edit your post just reply...

".use a little discretion? " like not making a scene over emotes and instead moving on with your day instead of pretending that moving text in a chat box is in any way affecting your health on a physical or mental level?
this is a classic case of "go touch grass" if this is all you have to be upset about then your privilege is showing.

Better idea. Dont spam emotes incessantly.

i get it, you would rather be a victim than actually do something to prevent it, woe is you.

But, thats not the case, I CAN do something actually.

i can report you and then, after you find yourself in Mordion Jail, a GM will be more than happy to explain it further. But.....heres the good news.

You can avoid all of that by simply being considerate of others and not flood their chatboxes with emotes.

[Mostly_Raxus]

You do realise that if you are indeed spamming emotes, that will show in the GM logs? They see and log everything.

so youre accusing me again?
by all means keep spamming me your false accusations on the forums. maybe i should report you for attempted doxing..

It's even worse, the only macro and sound effect spam I've seen in Frontlines is from people who actually care about playing the game instead of AFKing, and leading the team by telling them where to go, who to attack, what objectives to pursue. Unless OP has evidence to the contrary, it looks like they got upset that they have to actually play the game instead of mindlessly wandering around and doing nothing for 10 minutes.

I agree, its a classic case of "report them for using the chat box for its intended purpose"

you clearly didn't read my post. they were not spamming emotes. they were spamming macros and sound effects. even if we hid the window the sound effects would still go off.

no i read it, just thought you were being a drama queen. anyone that has to come to the forum to say they reported someone, and virtue signal for a moral boost, is probably just as guilty as the person they are reporting.

Or, you know, people could just follow the g’damn rules.

List of Prohibited Activities

◆Obstruction of play
"Obstruction of play" refers to all behavior in general that obstructs another person's gameplay. Below is a non-exhaustive list of examples of obstruction of play:

・Spamming
Refers to using chat (including Quick Chat in PvP content and emotes) to obstruct the gameplay of others.
Key Points
The key point to consider is whether or not the behavior is obstructing another person's gameplay. While the intention may have not been to cause an obstruction, if the situation interferes with the communication of other players then it can be determined as a prohibited activity. If a report has been filed and the prohibited activity is confirmed, a penalty will be issued.

For example, in large-scale content such as alliance raids or PvP, in order to ensure smooth progress, a player may present a general course of action to the entire group, and the other players may agree to it and act accordingly. In such a case, when the progress of the content does not go as intended there may be a chance the player becomes frustrated and spams the chat with unnecessary lines of text telling other players what to do even if it was already discussed. This deviates from the original intention of the chat and could be considered as a situation that interferes with the communication of other players.

Please note that Square Enix may issue a penalty in its discretion even if a report has not been filed but the act was found being conducted in public areas such as Say and Shout, in towns/cities/field areas, or online video/streaming services.
