There has been two times where I have been stopped trying to do anything on General Tab, while recruiting ( every 3 to 5 minutes, give some time for new players to come in and allow other people to recruit as well, sometimes longer. But twice, on Korriban then the Fleet I haven't been able to type on General Tab, it has also been the times a guild leader and their second has been recruiting, they have been attacking me for the past couple weeks after they bullied someone else and I stood up for them. So I am not sure if this is a bug or they are reporting me for spamming.
Thank You.
