Trivia Bot Question

I have no intention of using them myself, but I would like to report them for spamming and causing other people to spam. Before I waste a GM's time, I would like to know if it is even a reportable offense. I know how bad the wait times are and don't want to make it longer for other people unless it is worth reporting.

Q u o t e:
I tend to do [Report Spam] on both the toon asking the questions and all the toons answering, then also open a ticket reporting the toon running the trivia game specifically for generating spam by running a Trivia game in trade. One will get them all temporarily ignored by your character until you log out and potentially (if enough reports are made) muted or even given short suspensions. The other will allow Blizzard to address the player causing the issue in the first place with a potentially stronger warning or penalty.



That is a rather excellent suggestion.

People generally have a mixed feeling on trivia box. Some like to participate in the trivia where others simply see the spam it generates. As fun as they can be they are not appropriate for public channels. If you see one feel free to report it. Most players who run these may simply not understand that it is considered spam so this will allow us to educate them. :)
