What happens when I report spam?

Players should report any instances of unwanted spam whispers and public chat text by right-clicking the player name and selecting the "Report Spam" feature, Gredival. This function is not simply used to “report gold farmers.”

As for ‘What happens when [you] report spam?’ I am pleased to say that using this feature opens a gateway in the space time continuum, pulling in all unwanted text. From there it speeds through a series of tubes.... it’s very complicated and involves a quantum entanglement device, but needless to say the chat-reporting feature should make it much easier to keep unwanted text off your screen before it becomes overwhelming.

Q u o t e:
Can report spam be used on offensive messages that were only posted once?

No, this system is not meant to be used for anything other than reporting various types of spam, Abrahams.
