Guild Wars 2

We’re often running into a situation where the commander in WvW gets blocked by the spam-protection because he is posting too much.

IMHO either commanders should never be blocked or at least they should be able to always post in the /team and /squad channels.

is more that spam protection in general should be less strict, if you totally remove it just for commanders, what you gonna see will be a bunch of spam bots with commands tags sitting around in LA and others zones spamming non stop. if anyone can afford the commander title it is the bots

I agree with what GummiBear said.

But yeah, commander should always be able to talk to the /squad (Not team, since that is just fancier color map-chat for WvW.)

Hate to disagree here,though i surely do agree with you aswell..But there are “some” commanders,that do talk..way..way to much and also say the most random childish things you could imagine,totally unrelated stuff to what’s actually going on in wvwvw,or the ones loving to blame everyone else except themselves,non-stop.I do not wish these people to glog up my chat with random bull i do not care about.Most commanders just do what they need to do,but youknow there are these few that might make it horribly annoying by not being suspended on mapchat anymore for talkig to much,unrelated stuff,and i Know some are gonna do it on purpose if this gets implemented.

Simple solution:
Unblock the posting of locations when done without any other text.

It would help us commanders a great deal to not keep losing the randoms (you cannot force everyone into the teamspeak) and goldspammers have no use for this option.

Goldspammers have always use for this. They’d just migrate from LA to EB instead, not only spamming but taking up WvW spots too.

What could they use location marks for? If they cannot spam any text to go with it? ^^

Ohhhh! I’m afraid I completely misunderstood what you meant.
I thought you meant unrestrict posting in certain locations (WvW maps),
But I guess you actually said unrestrict posting of locations (WPs, POIs and stuff.)
I got no idea where I got the idea of in locations, sorry about that

Yeah, I agree, they (gold sellers) wouldn’t be able to use that, if they can’t spam any text with it.

It is not only for Commanders. Even typing something like “incoming” a couple of times will get you blocked from sending any other messages. There is a simple fix to the problem/issue that I have mentioned a couple of times. Put in a “report as spam” button. You can post as needed but the current chat suppression protocol would engage as soon as someone reports it as spam. Once ANET investigates anyone abusing that could get some time off from the game

Except that if you type “incoming” a couple of times, there is always some nitpicking troll who can (and will) report it as spam. It basically is.
