Best Posts in Thread: Trade chat and global chat.

There has been an issue recently with how trade chat is enforced. Several staff members have had their different takes on it.

''Town advertisements are allowed in global for new players to see them!''
I get your point, I do. But, trade chat is automatically enabled. If someone knows how to toggle /tr off, then they probably know enough about the server to join a town, or at least turn it back on.

''it's not a transaction, just an ad.'' (advertising for a PvP arena. This could also go for nearly any pwarp that doesn't involve some shop, casino, anything that doesn't involve transactions.)


Isn't the point of trade to advertise? If I toggle trade off, I want my chat to be advertisement free.

What's the point of having trade chat to reduce global spam if we continue to allow 'some' advertisements?

Suggestion: make /tr an all-advert chat, and global an 'everything else' chat. Giveaways or events, like drop parties or something of the like, are included as advertisements (and especially if they are at some sort of shop/casino, that's basically evading the rule.)

suggestion 2: At least get the freaking staff members on the same page as to how this is enforced. Come on, it's not hard.
