PotF server chat action required.

I remember that. Those were good times When EC first came out, I couldn't help but chuckle when I saw Double Destruction

Chatting is not abuse of general chat. It is for general use.

How about just having a Bioware employee monitor chat on occasion?! Random check in's would do wonders.

Even if they did, they wouldn't do anything about the Jawa business as it's not violating the TOS.

Why is it that cross faction chat was scrapped because of fears that it would ruin players experiences, while spam in general on the fleet is dismissed so quickly? Cross faction tells are easy to report and ignore, massive spam in general (a chat channel that has a very useful purpose) is difficult or impossible to ignore and does cause difficulties for players. I don't understand.

Oh you mean like the Fun Police?
Let's not let people use general chat to generally chat about anything....

I'm honestly not surprised by this generic response. I have been reporting folks since server xfers have gone up and nothing has been done about them at all. Still see them cussing away or trolling away or simply talking disgusting in general chat. I put one on ignore 5 more pop up. And this movie title spam is getting out of hand. Even when we are reporting folks or using ignore it is continuing the kids have taken over general chat and bioware isn't willing to do anything what a surprise. Im starting to get tired of doing the job that a bioware employee should be doing. Why isn't there a CSR or bioware employee policing general chat in the highest population zones? Honestly this is getting out of control and I'm thinking of just quitting the game. Just not worth the money I pay each month to put up with kids like this.

The real shock to this thread is that alot of people didn't know that High populated servers means stupidity in general chat.

You do know why the BW employees responded in this thread the way they did right?

I mean what the others are doing in general chat is by all means totally legit. They encourage the use of the ignore button, because it's there. That is to say no disruptive behaviour could come from not using it.

The employees have to step lightly on these things at times, I mean like 1 month ago, an employee probably got in trouble for disrupting some players griefing some other players. Sure they were griefing and they were on a PVP server, but BW admitted what the employee did wrong.

It'd probably be crazy if all of a sudden a CSR came into the GC and started banning people for making Jawa movie jokes.

The ignore button isn't something difficult to understand or use... Even if there are countless of people that you think need it.

It's General Chat - you can chat generally in it. But you don't have some pretend right to spam it with random dumb **edit** just because you want to. When your spam prevents me from using chat, you're violating the TOS.
