Spam is an iffy topic because people view the venue ads spammy as a whole, while the individuals doing the ad postings might not be actually spamming. The way it works is venue shout people go around all the DCs and post an ad in shout chat in each servers main cities. When more than one person is doing this at the same time, it creates a spam effect while the individuals are only posting one message themselves.

Therefore, it doesn't technically constitute spamming on an individual level but as a whole, so it's hard to ban anyone for it when they aren't necessarily spamming themselves. There are just a lot of venue ads and they bleed together and it annoys people to the point that they think the GMs are involved.
if its bugging this many people they should do something about it dont ya think cuz like everyone on the aether server i play on is super annoyed by it and ppl always complain and argue about it and report about it and make threads about it even last night people had this big argument over erp dens in novice network and why it should be ok to spam erp messages in chat and its all crazy like just give them an erp channel lol
