Proper use of the spam reporting and preventative features in 2.1 - Image 1 


Spam is the enemy of every World of Warcraft player on any server. We have reported before that Blizzard has seen it fit to add some spam protection to their game and it has gotten a mixed response from players. Some have reported that it works well while others find that it's not very efficient.

Reporting spammers is rather simple. If the player is not on your friends or guild list, you can report a player for spamming by right clicking their name in the chat box and selecting the Report Spam option. Forum Moderator Blizzard Poster Drysc has given word that this tool should ONLY be used for spammers.

Do not use this option for other reasons such as people who send inappropriate comments, etc. He warns players that using the Report Spam for any other reason may result in your report "not being reported properly." If players wish to report any problems, they should still use the "normal reporting process."

Be responsible when using this tool. Hopefully, if enough people use it properly, spam can be minimized if not outright stopped. Be sure to check back here for more news on World of Warcraft.
