Crystal Party-Finder, Please for the love of god.... Stop with the club-spam..

[AuRaBookworm]

I wasn't sure where else to post this.
But please.
Crystal world server (and the subsequent servers that are part of it) Pease.... Please for the love of all that is good, curb your party finder club-spam.

And I'll go ahead and say that a lot of these spammers seem to be from Mateus.
I am tired of looking at Party Finder just to see it completely flooded by three to four, sometimes FIVE entries EACH of the same so-called "clubs".
It wouldn't be so bad if you had a singular entry and called it a day. But really? Spamming the PF with more than even two?

I have honestly lost count at this point how many people have been added to my blacklist in just this week alone, solely to clear out the Party Finder from their ridiculous 'club' spamming. I don't want to see 20+ entries for the same 2-4 up to gods-know-how-many twitch-club stuff.

Can anything be done about this? Does this count for spam reporting by any means?

[NegativeS]

I'm pretty sure it counts as spam. They snuff out any and all paid-carry stuff, so it's safe to assume they want the PF to strictly be for finding parties.

Filter PF by the content you're actually looking for? I never even see them because I only go into the categories I'm interested in.

If you're willing to use a certain alternative game launcher, there's also a plugin to filter certain key words from PF.

The entire point of the "Other" tab is so that people can use it for things like advertising, Player Events (Which clubs would count as) communities, FC recruitment ect. If players are using other tabs for it- they can be reported.

I'm an RPer, so unfortunately, most of what I look for is in the 'Other' category, technically. Small RP medicine shop/apothecary opening here, a little bookstore opening there on occasion, that sort of thing.
That's the kind of stuff I usually look for, barring an occasional Hydaelyn-EX trial party or two.
What I'm not looking for is random twitch-users advertising their weird little music-playing channel as some sort of 'club'.

[AuRaBookworm]

The problem isn't the clubs themselves.

It's the fact that they are inundating the 'Other' category with the same ad, but different characters, all copy-pasted, sometimes 3-4, even more at a time.
If it's a singular ad, that's oen thing. It becomes a problem when each so-called 'club' spreads their ad multiple times and there's like... 5-7 of them going at a time.

Aw come on, it's called "Party" Finder for a reason!

[van_arn]

I wonder if spamming the same venue would fall under something that can be reported?

[Sililos]

Isnt Crystal where the major Streamers all are? They have been touring clubs etc so likely a lot trying to get their attention.

Be my guess as too why its so bad, we dont have it all that bad on Primal.

The only semi-big streamer I know of on Crystal is Pyromancer, he's a big lore nerd and doesn't do the ERP thing...which is what many, if not most of these "clubs" are.

The other big streamers all went to the old DCs because of the raider stereotypes.

Also, not that I would ever suggest such a thing, but the third party launcher for PC has some plugins that kill both PF spam and chat ad spam.
