ATTN: Chat advertisers!

Lets be fair to everyone in chat, giant walls of text offering trades or guild recruitment have gotten out of hand. lets create a compromise policy everyone will find acceptable?
How about this example: Trading Adventures, please whisper. or, Guild Recruiting (link) or, Offering Noble House Deeds(No building licenses needed) : Whisper me please?

I hope all of us who do these kind of trades will join in and help make the chat a better experience for all.

Before you flaming trolls start up, Yes, I was one of the worst ones for spamming.
So I will be the first to really start pushing for this policy.

Thanks SirRoy,

Your ending is false.

By saying less, you create the need to spam more often, which makes the chat move faster, thus causing a repetition of this effect.
downsizing text does not make it easier to read, this is exactly what people DO NOT want to do.

While your presuit is admirable, The solution is infact to create and harbor more channels
for example recruitment channel People being auto placed in global 2, 3, 4 after each channel has say 50 or 100 people.

All I can do is fall back on the wise words found at the 'End of Wallstreet'.

Talar, I thought the same thing about his last sentence in his op and I agree with your ideas. They need an recruitment tab or something. I would love to be able to make private chat rooms.

For sure, Private channels would be great.

There is a general law about people. Dont control them, Rather direct their flow.

In other words, For example people mad addons for blizzards games for a long time, which made them mad
What did they do? they made an addon system, and limited it from doing things they didn't want, while at the same time allowing players to "flow in their idea's and energy".

In a similar way, we should do the same with chat.

I love the idea of private chat rooms, make them more easily accessible than switching globals :)

In Eve Online, there is a system for trade using the forums.
You would go and post WWT or WTB for GTC or Chars.

Hello guild leader : ), i agree something needs to be done with the heavy amount of spam and trolling that happens in general chat. Those two reasons alone are why i don't even view general chat anymore.

So, global-2 is auctions.
Global-7 is for spam ads offering trades. Let's refrain from using the help tab.
Global-1? Well, that is beyond my skill set and I avoid it at all costs.

While I commend everyones attempts at organizing the chat channels, it just simply will not work. Most people are too lazy to have to type a simple line to join another global and as for global-1.....well I for one don't mind the advertising spam as it is preferable to the garbage and other drivel that occurs on a regular basis there. I am now forced to stare at trade tab or help tab and miss out on being able to chat with people from other guilds. I have come to a partial solution by ignoring the trolls and those that argue with the trolls, result I get trolled by non-trolls for muting "good" players and am again in trade/help tab :(

If you wish to talk with friends from other guilds all at once.. just whisper and ask them to switch globals.. this is great if you dont wanna have 6 different whispers and then you can introduce people to each other.
