    Sick of the christforsaken Nightclubs

    Every day in shout chat "COME CHECK OUT OUR CLUB WITH DJ AND GAMBLING AND TOTALLY NOT BROTHEL SERVICES." Constant ads in Party Finder, sometimes the same club being advertised three times.

    I get people like these, I really do. It's not my thing, and normally I would ignore it; but every time I log in and even poke my head in one of the main city states, these ads constantly pollute shout chat and party finder. Blacklisting is only a band-aid fix because the criers who are hired rotate very quickly. Turning off Shout Chat is also a bandaid because one should not be forced to turn off an in game function that can be incredibly helpful in many situations (shout calling for a Rez is one such thing.)

    Don't get me started on how some clubs are openly advertising gambling, or some openly offering ERP through 'escorts' and 'dancers'.

    Again, not shaming the people who go to these, that's entirely on them: I just want them to tone back just a bit and not flagrantly skirt the TOS. And maybe not have more than one ad in Party Finder?

    I don't mind people advertising their own club, but when I see a handful of people using the same copy/paste advert, it feels a bit like people are trying to get around blacklisting. Like how you'd see people using alt accounts/ect to advert for run selling parties in the PF back when.

    I find that so funny. I gave up blacklisting because no matter what they kept cropping back up. But its like why are you trying so hard for me not to blacklist you? if poeple are blacklisting you then its because we dont want to hear you anymore, but even that is not allowed. Its like naw screw you buddy! your going to hear my 100th shout again for today whether you like it or not!!

    More than likely they are just telling them "NoSoliciting" please. :^)

    You can also turn off shout chat. They aren't hurting you and you have options, use them.

    The tryhard elitist is the person who is going to finish their 5 pieces on this created to be beaten """"challenge"""" and then complaint that the baby, slower or less dexterous person are a problem which not only is toxic but indirectly implies that doing this basic created to be beaten task faster is an """achievement""" of """great skill""" which helps to falsely boost the elitist's self worth as that is their true motive, if challenge was truly their desire they would relish in the chance to do more than the rest.
    The healthy person on the other hand will either let people finish their part or assist them for their self worth does not depend on solving basic puzzles created to be beaten, aka as a video game.
