Are they guild spam botting?

I have noticed this for a long time on my server. There is a “person” about every half hour or so spamming guild invites. It occurs all through day it seems no matter when I am on. The characters name is always the same and the message is always exactly the same. It seems to rotate starter maps. Also the message always has a white square before the text like some weird character. That probably has nothing to do with, just throwing it in there.

It isn’t a big deal to me overall I was just wondering if this was typical of an actual person doing this or if there are indeed bots that guild spam. It just seems odd because I play off and on at all hours of the day and night and it seems like I see it each time I’m on.

Interesting question. I suppose it could be a spam-bot. I’m going to get some advice about how best to report this.

We reviewed the chat logs and this player isn’t a spam bot. There’s a lot of actual conversation between the guild messaging.

Okay thanks for looking into it. It just seemed odd because that was the only thing I ever saw the person post in /map chat and it seemed to be at all times with the same copy and paste message. I guess just a coincidence. I’ll just block so I don’t see it anymore

That’ll work, and good idea.
