Spam-prevention tool feedback

Post your thoughts and experiences with the new Blizzard Spam-Prevention tool here. I never uninstalled SpamSentry, myself, so I wouldn't know, but I figured this would be a good place to get an idea of how it's working.

If you right click on the person's name in the chat window there will be a selection in the dropdown titled "Report Spam", this does a couple things. First it ignores any whispers, text, and mail from that user's account for your current session. Second it reports that user to our support department for spam, and they will investigate further and taken any action that's needed.

Please note that the Report Spam feature should ONLY be used to report spam, using it to report other types of harassment may result in your report failing to be processed properly. Please open a normal ticket for all non-spam related incidents.

Also, as of 2.1 trial accounts can no longer whisper others unless they have been whispered by that player first, or they are on that player's friends list. We obviously didn't want this information known before the patch was released.

Q u o t e:
But.. but.. but... there were TONS of players that think they know everything here in teh forumz that swore up and down on a stack of prayer books that they couldn't do whispers in the first place..

They could send a limited number before, which is what they may have been referring to.
