Spamming text emojis is it reportable?

[Ardeth]

So the other day I was running an Alliance Raid roulette and a member of another alliance was just spamming ascii emojis with sound effects in alliance chat. Can I report them? Or is that not offensive enough? It was really obnoxious that's for sure.

You can report anyone for anything. The question is whether you will get a GM that cares enough to do something other then send a boilerplate response. In the end reporting people for stuff like that person ally is a waste of time since you will never know if they got in trouble unless you know them. So what is the point? Outside of some personal satisfaction.

Do you bro.

Yes it is reportable if you keep spamming the same thing over and over again, a text emote also can e going as /poke /poke /poke or whatever and if is a custom text emote that say the same again and again and again.. or combat macro you keep flooding public places with such as /shout /yell /tell /say /n then you can also be reported.

Same goes with stuff that show no text as well, eg. heavy skill spam in populated areas... like holy... or anything of the likes that produce a loud sound and more.... bards can be reported too if walking up to another bard and just keep on pressing random buttons to disturb that persons playing and being annoying to those that listen.

In general, there is some low lifes that think it is cool to do such thing to irritate and provoke people with... and trying to ruin possible content for others... in it sort under that catagorie as well, harrashment/spam/flood/obstruction.

Ok, thanks. I was just going to blacklist them, but they weren't in my contacts list. I'm not sure how to manually enter people's names for the blacklist. I would assume it's /ignore (player name). Anyway thanks for the info.

If its used more then 3 times in a row, its reportable, even if it is a combat skill. So 3 glares in combat. Report them and the GM can throw a strike for it.

Spamming a chat is definitely reportable.

"Non-Commercial Spamming/Spimming" - Yes it is definitely reportable.

◆Obstruction of play
"Obstruction of play" means all behaviour in general that obstructs another person's game play. Below is a non-exhaustive list of examples of obstruction of play:

・Spamming
This means using chat (including Quick Chat and Emote) to obstruct another person's conversation, or obstruct the use of mog letters, etc., for example, by sending an excessive number of unnecessary items in mog letters, etc. Even if obstruction was not the objective of the behaviour, it may be deemed a violation if another player is actually obstructed by the behaviour.

Technically, it's reportable.

Personally I would feel bad at the idea of causing another player to potentially lose an account they've invested a lot of time and effort in over something like that, though. Such spam is easily hidden using the ignore function and there's a chance the player in question was just fooling around with friends or trying to cheer themselves up after a stressful day.

I'm with you on that I just wasn't sure if I should even do anything or if it would lead to at the very least just stop them from spamming sounds. I can ignore the chat I mean I see gil spammers constantly. It's just overlapping bongos and pings get on your nerves. But I didn't want to report them out of malice anyway. I just wanted them to know that it was annoying and to just stop doing it.
