Not in Novice Network yet? Oh, apparently free trials are understood to get shorter shrift when it comes to getting reported, too) so you can't or don't know how to ask for help?

Maybe emotes into the chat log should just be filtered out altogether, or it should be changed to a "see emotes in YOUR chat log" instead of "SEND emotes to people's chat logs" option, and the option to report for it removed at the same time?
When is the last time any of those zones or the area those leves take place were crowded? I doubt anyone would report a /beckon spam in those areas. Emotes I want to say have the same range as say chat does. If not shorter. The box also doesn't apply to those who use the /emote command as those will appear in chat regardless if it's been checked or not. There's been plenty of times when I've seen someone spamming one of those. Normally they're macroed as they do tend to have /handover or some other emote attached to them. Emote spam in the chat is also seen as rude when or if you attend an rp environment be that a tea house or a night club. The only sprouts I run into that are rude or choose to be rude is after I've asked them if they could stop spamming the chat with something or telling them that what they're doing can be seen as harassment according to the ToS.
