Please make shout chat abuse punishable

"Oh noes, people are playing the game and having fun with events! We must stop this immediately!! Ban them all for having fun and inviting other people to join!!"

This is you. This is what you sound like.

Well you got the wrong impression.

Well, there aren't 100 of them, you banish them and you won't hear them speak again.

And if you really don't like them, turn them off because: public channels, apart from content like Diadem and others, the /y /h channels, etc., are completely useless.

Or I don't know ignore it and move on with your life, its not like someone has a gun to you forcing you to read it, beside nothing else ever happens in shout so if its that much of an issue create a log just for shout chat alone

Same, I pretty much ignore shouts that are venue advertising. I mean I may give it an initial glance, but rarely read the whole thing (unless it amuses me in some way, or is a thing I have an interest in, which does happen sometimes).

TBH the thing that bugs me in chat is the RMT bots spamming the heck out of it. I've heard you can mute them by picking a word/phrase they all use, but haven't tried that yet (I need to talk to my friend on how to do it). Regardless, that's on ME to set up for myself, right?

Point being, there's ways to set up chat to "weed out" stuff one doesn't care for, mostly, right? *shrug* IDK why the OP here hasn't tried those things. (Goodness knows I love the new-to-me "mute" function, that lets me block people who are purposefully trolling folks just because they want people to argue with them and give them negative attention, heh.)

If it wasn't for Hunt Trains I'd just turn off chat completely. This game is so anti-social it's not worth even looking at. You aren't missing much either.

I mean because if your social 8/10 times you will be reported for some bs reason kind of the devs/gms fault the game is so anti-social, your punished for being social and having fun lol

That's inaccurate. People like to deflect with that, but it's not remotely true. Go into a PVP game while losing by a 90% margin and you will see some vile shit get spewed. If people are afraid of getting reported those people are idiots. I've pretty much been unfiltered for almost 12 years and I have never been reported for language.

I think it's just more console players and just player contempt. Even when you join FCs it's a crap shoot if you even fit in let alone get treated like a human being. Groups mostly consist of the bare minimum and dead FCs. It's just such a terrible experience that I can't fathom how people have such positive ones. They must have the lowest bar for what friendly is.

I've been on Aether and Primal and Crystal it makes no damn difference. Not a single person I have played with or joined their FC or Discord in the past year has wanted to play this game at all. It has been such a negative experience I'm still shocked I haven't unsubscribed and walked away permanently and no this isn't a Dawntrail is bad post. This was like this before Dawntrail. It's just a steady decline and I'm tired of it.

I'm so sick and tired of people world travelling and even DATA CENTER travelling just to fill up my chat log with their horrible ads for their horrible venues. In the past, using shout chat to advertise your Free Company was annoying, but tolerable. But now it's just gotten to a ridiculous point. Why should I put up with ads all the time? This was a huge issue in PF that thankfully got fixed, but having ads in shout chat might be just as bad.

SE devs please do something about this. Make it reportable and punishable. If you don't want to do that, at least add more words to the Term Filter. 10 case-sensitive options is not nearly enough. 100 might be close.

Maybe you should close your text chat if it bothers you that much

Looks more like a "you" problem then anything

I purposely avoid Limsa whenever I can. This is all from New Gridania and Ul'dah chats.

You are better off playing a single player game then
