Gold Spam out of control.

#0 - Aug. 31, 2010, 1:38 a.m.

So I am sitting in Dal waiting for my random and within the span of 10 minutes there are more than 40 gold spam posts. There are so many that I cannot even ignore them, I go back to take old gold spammers off ignore, and surprise, they are still active and spamming. Come on blizzard... it is not that difficult to get this issue under control. Every time I set foot in SW or IF there are the gold spammers performing body spam to spell out their websites. Get this under control already.

If it's any consolation, I view an increase of gold spam when I'm playing as a sign of desperation :)

Right-click the name, report spam and those are dealt with quickly.

We do an enormous amount of work behind the scenes to curtail this, but reports are an important part of that. It's a fine line between trying to combat this - and inconveniencing legitimate players.
