    I was half asleep and didn't read what you wrote. No, I'm leaving this dumpster of a datacenter. Sorry, I sleepingly ranted away about the perils of unmoderated venue bots below. Enjoy the insanity, sorry.

    They aren't from Dynamis, though. That's the problem. The spam in general should be bannable, but even then, they're like bots. They just crank out level 1s like gil seller bots. They are gone so fast, and black listing does nothing since they will just make another alt. It's frustrating because they spam paragraphs that fill up your chat log. It makes hub cities annoying. And I still stand by what I said. Ban them all.

    It's no longer some fun organic community event. They're businesses. Their ads are just as aggressively being shoved down your throat. I'd block shout chat, but then that negatively affects Hunt trains. Since I lose direction from the conductor. Granted, I could infer from group behavior, but still. I shouldn't have to remove a chat channel from my log because of aggressive bots spamming. Again, ban them all.

    And I don't enjoy saying that. This isn't some crusade by me against venues. I generally don't care what other players are doing as long as they aren't hurting themselves or anyone else. But it's so aggressive that I'm forced to talk about it. I played on RP servers for years. I've played and RPed in D&D for years. I have nothing but respect for RP players. But something is wrong here and a tab for them on the party finder isn't going to fix the spam. Hell, I don't think banning will either, but maybe the threat of it would calm it down. I doubt it, but let me dream.
