so do you hate like this message?
DONT GET ME WRONG, I HAVE NOTHING AGAINST ADVERTISING. ITS JUST GETTING ANNOYING
well my idea was that if someone uses too many of the same type of sign (so not a letter (unless like 15 of the same after eachother)) that it just get ignored....
simple thing ;)
added a poll too to do answering more orderned

You can't even see the real message
This doesn't really irritate me, besides whenever I see one of those I always check to see what they buying and selling which is helpful to me whenever I'm lookin' for something.
It just makes the message stay longer. I don't see the harm in it, honestly. Yeah, it can be annoying, but we can always just leave the realm.. or if you own it, mute the realm or ban the person. I would never advertise this way, because I have a bit of pride and better things to do than spam the chat with @ signs attempting to sell or buy something nobody wants or has. :P
All you have to do is tell them that people get purposefully ignored when they type spam like that. It's better to just type the original message. Be polite, don't yell at them for doing it. Just let them know that it can get annoying and that they are likely to sell more if they don't do it ^^
But again, DON'T YELL AT THEM. Politeness can only be expected if you are polite to them too :)
The players who are doing this would mostly get banned from the realm/room...
Why not just say what they're going to sell rather than getting banned for spamming?
I would just ask them to stop spamming pretty much, I would suggest though that don't spam to advertise... cause you might get banned by the owner(s).
Also, I'm not annoyed because they are selling something... It's just the spam that I'm annoyed with pretty much. :T
