If people actually knew how to RP and organize properly, none of this would be an issue at all. But instead there is pointless competition and greed for fictional coin that only creates bad blood harassment, spam and sabotage, and paywalled "roleplay" that creates bad blood because peiople don't know the difference between IC and OOC.
This may all be true, but that doesn't mean the OPs idea is bad. It's a suggestion that's been made before as well, and it's a win-win for everyone.

RPers and venues could have a dedicated chat that's opt-in and a dedicated RP tab in the PF for their advertisements.

Non-RPers and players who aren't interested in that part of the game wouldn't have to deal with the annoyance with the venue spam in /shout chat, leaving it open for other shouts like Hunts.

And if a venue spammed advertisements in the /shout chat, ignoring their dedicated channel, they could be reported to GMs.

I feel like it's a good idea, and probably not super difficult to implement. But for some reason, every time it's been brought it up, it gets shouted down. *shrug*
