Isn't this against the rules of Conduct? - Guild Wars Forums

on wednesday (i think) i went to ToPK. a person was spamming the message

@welcome to http://www.virgoods.com $9.99/100k 98.45/1000k& 10 mins delivery 24/7 online livehelp@ gw is a great game

i reported it. now someone else is spamming the exact same message
I shall report it again but i feel i'm fighting a losing battle.

Savio · Oct 07, 2005, 08:34 PM // 20:34

I went to ToPK once and someone seriously asked for a activation code. You just can't get rid of them.

striderkaaru · Oct 07, 2005, 08:34 PM // 20:34

we fight the good fight, ann. keep fighting it, no matter what the odds are.

Charcoal Ann · Oct 07, 2005, 08:35 PM // 20:35

maybe Anet should just watch ToPk all the time for this. i can't help but feel that it doesn't just start when i am there.

EDIT: after watching the chat the advertiser seems to do it at totally equal intervals (45seconds) could they be using an advertbot?

heist23 · Oct 07, 2005, 08:45 PM // 20:45

i think i saw that exact same message last week in pre-searing. i took a screenie, but i never bothered to turn it in...

Ray · Oct 07, 2005, 08:49 PM // 20:49

I think there's 3 different advertise bots, with the same message.

Definately bots =D

Charcoal Ann · Oct 07, 2005, 09:19 PM // 21:19

they have responded to my E-mail.

now there is a chap spamming the same message again in Dist 3.

I was in TOPK the other day and said man I should sell my account on eBay. I was just joking around then next time a go to login I find out am suspended for 1 week. Some of the Nerdy ppl just need to back off and take a joke and not report everything they see and hear I mean common. Now the bot spamming yeah report it. I just ignore it I rather play the game then spend time trying to suck up to ANet for a hero badge damn. Lucky I have 5 accounts so I’m just playing on another account. /rant off

Caros · Oct 07, 2005, 09:22 PM // 21:22

Yeah I saw this today. Lots of people said they were going to report it though.

Charcoal Ann · Oct 07, 2005, 09:29 PM // 21:29

well. that bloke is reported too.
maybe they will get the idea soon.
and no i don't report people bantering about Ebay. why should i?
i would then be likely to report all swearing. i'd never be able to stop!

i watched this guy for like half an hour before the first report

Zack O Blade · Oct 07, 2005, 09:33 PM // 21:33

I sure would love to know who did i even wrote a long letter to guildwars.com a pretty nasty one sence i was Rank 8 and have a very good rep with everyone. Man wish i knew who did that.

unienaule · Oct 08, 2005, 01:42 AM // 01:42

Oh man, just because you're rank 8 means you can break rules? Sweet, I'm going to PvP now.

Perishiko ReLLiK · Oct 08, 2005, 02:25 AM // 02:25

I've seen the same sort of thing, anybody play in the morning see the nugs guy? I reported that one each day i saw it, and i won't quit doing it.

Good to see others like me, I'm sure anet will continue to try fighting them as well... although i can see how repetitive it may get...

And, yes they're bots.

Darkest Dawn · Oct 08, 2005, 04:27 AM // 04:27

I saw them the other day both in pre searing, as well as post too. I wondered what the heck was going on.

One and Two · Oct 08, 2005, 05:50 AM // 05:50

How do you get it so you can spam so fast?

the nugs dot com! Beta test our fame hack!

f*cking assholes

Arturo02 · Oct 08, 2005, 01:40 PM // 13:40

Play the game and let Anet worry about this. Not only are there too many of them, but most people don't buy this stuff. Or did you spend $50 to police a videogame? I sure as heck didn't and I am not going to waste my valuable gaming time doing something Anet employees get PAID to do.

Turn off local and go have fun in the game. Let someone else play gaming cop.

NeoDias · Oct 16, 2005, 11:32 PM // 23:32

they sent to my mailbox.
