RMT chat restrictions limited to tells?

[nranola]

The patch notes state this:

Players can now report RMT messages via a menu in the log window.

Any reports sent using this function will be processed automatically. When it is confirmed the reported player is sending RMT messages, their ability to speak with other players will be restricted.

Does this mean that all forms of communication are restricted, including /say? I ask this because while I noticed that pretty much the RMT bots sending /tells have pretty much been wiped out (I haven't received a single tell since patch thus far), the RMT bots spamming /say are still hanging about.

Honestly it wouldn't make sense to restrict /tell and not /say, and not all other variations of chat for that matter, as the bots clearly use and no doubt WILL use all channels available to them.

I've seen no such decline. Still getting 4-5 every hour.

Really I haven't gotten a single RMT tell and I've played a couple of hours (2 to 3) every evening since the patch went live. I have however received tells from some of my apartment neighbors.

So working as intended?

Funnily enough it's the opposite for me, i've only just started getting RMT tells... but it might be because i've also just bought a house in the Mist?

Okay it seems like even RMT bots spamming /tell are being dealt with. Just takes longer I suppose since their range is very specific to a certain area. I've gotten maybe a couple of RMT tells as well, but this is such an improvement compared to before.

I hope they still clarify the "ability to speak to other players" bit in the future though, because when I see that I think /tells. Or is that just me?

Does your server have a lot of players? I wonder if larger population servers get more RMT bots running around.

Phoenix server here -sometimes has queues.
RMT spam (in general chat) seems to be daily in Gridania, but different names everyday as I report and block as soon as they pop up.

Brynhildr use to have ton of RMT, but ever since the report button was released, it has never been so quite before

Yesterday during a 5 hour play I got one rmt tell.

One.

That's 10% of the usual rmt spam I get in the same time frame and I play in a medium to low pop server. I say the report function works wonders.

Yep this is actually working I hardly get any Rmt stuff. If I do is once a day I didn't get any yesterday at the mist or more dhona

it might be based on a reoccuring number of reports, since i mean be serious you can be mean and report a fc mate just cause? So it looks like maybe in the lower pop servers theres less reoccurances so it takes a little time to build up a case, whereas medium pop are seeing a very significant change due to enough reports being sent at a slightly faster rate by players? this would seem to be logical to me how it works
