Give DJ/ Roleplay events their own tab

[Ardeth]

I attend and work at venues of various types. Honestly, an RP tab in PF is a good idea. Also, double and triple advertisements should be stopped. One ad is all you need.

As for shout chat, I don't know. Maybe there could be a /rp chat that you could subscribe to? Instead of turning /shout chat off, turn /rp chat on? And allow the ads to be done in there?

But outright banning people for RP like some suggest. No! Why?

RP is fine. Hell, ERP is fine, but the spamming is what I wanted to ban them for. Not the content of what they were doing. The ferocity of their ads was why I said it. If it's not ok for bots(spamming, not RMT), why is it ok for players?

Look, I'll be honest I hate the venue culture. I want it gone and back to the pit it crawled from, but as long as it isn't hurting anyone, it is what it is. Nobody forces you to go to them. But the ads literally fill up the chatbox, so let's say you're in Limsa and you're chatting in text with a friend. You get lost in your conversation every time one of these venue spammer bots pops in. Is that harming me? No. Is it annoying? Yes. I can't block the spammers. They are like a hydra. Cut off one head, and two more shall take its place. It's fruitless. It's why really only leaving shout is preferable. Since it's the only way. Which is sad. Their interaction is so bad that I block out a chat. Can you see how bad that comes off?

Also, giving them two chat channels just makes two more spam sources. Granted, I can just block the advertisement channel. They will still use shout. I'm surprised they don't use yell, honestly. At least there's some restraint.
