I actually went into my general options and shut off the tell, because I find it totally useless now, even though I might miss a tell from a friend or miss out on treasure hunts, its better not to get spammed 100+ times with the same message.

I am sick of deleting 200 black listed people, then adding them back with in a week and its a extra chore.

So I just shut off the tells forever till SE fixes the problem I probably wont ever turn it back on, if they begin to shout non stop, I will probably do the same thing because its ruining my experience.
