I really think Commanders should never get surpressed in public chat. At least not when they are actively commanding and what they are saying is probably important to the team. It’s terribly annoying when I’m commanding and I want to give an order, but I can’t say anything due to chat surpression.

It would be awesome if ArenaNet thought about this and removed chat surpression for Commanders with their Tag up. Everyone who plays WvW at least once in a while would be very thankful for this.

Do you mean to keep the chat “spam” suppressed or do you mean something to override an ignore feature? I have a commander on ignore and I promise I wouldn’t like it if they could override that suppession.

I believe he means the spam limitation. I suppose it would be alright. I doubt gold-seller-advertising bots will be willing to burn 100g to avoid the default spam block when most people ignore them rather quickly.

I would like to suggest that there still be a limitation when the current threshold is reached, but obviously much less severe. How it is now keeps you muted for a long time. Something like 5-10 seconds between messages (for a minute or so?) in case a troll commander decides to annoy the entire map to allow people to ignore/report the kitty.

Exactly. I think chat surpression should at least bw removed for Commanders with their Tag up in WvW. A Commander can’t do his job in a decent way as long as he keeps getting surpressed.

The whole supression thing needs to be looked at again and not just with commanders. A Guildie was running a friendly comp giving away some items for answering questions correctly and got suppressed on mailing presumably because the post contained the same content (the same item).

The chat suppression needs to be looked at for sure. But keep in mind that it is also there against abuse.

One chat-spamming commander could make the life of every commander on that map a living hell. All it takes is just one big jerk, and the internet has plenty of those.

If there would ever be such an idiot, he would get reported in a second. So I don’t think that will be a problem.

There are plenty of such idiots already, and although everyone reports them, it could still take well over a day before they are dealt with. Just imagine how annoying some of these jerks could be if there was no limit to how much they could spam. Certain limits do need to be in place to prevent this sort of spammage. But of course, it should never get in the way of being able to communicate with your team.

Well they won’t likely waste 100 gold to be able to spam public chat when they know they’ll get reported anyway

I will only agree with this if commanders were still choked in PvE and PvP.

Commanders are only useful in WvWvW and I support them being un-choked there ONLY.

As a commander who does borderline spam chat, I have to disagree, because spam is spam, doesn’t matter how you cook it.

Yeah that’s exactly my point. Lift the chat suppression in WvWvW only. If there is a spammer, he will be reported right away.
