People are bypassing the character limit in the term filter...

Same tbh. I don't even notice these venue ads in shout chat. And honestly I don't have any issue with people who do RP events trying to get the word out. People put in a lot of time and effort into a lot of these places. Personally I'm far more annoyed by a single venue taking up too many PF slots in the "Other" tab with ads, because that does start to feel like spam.

Shout chat in a populated city zone goes by so fast I don't even notice or care when people use it.

If your on crystal dc you notice them all the time XD
