    Default Spam in chat channels - Are you really bothered?

    So I had a convo with a neighbour about the chatbox
    he said that he honestly doesn't understand the fight against spamming at chat channel

    and it hit me, I mean through all my matches in SC:BW or Diablo 2 I really wasn't pist that there was a spam bot because I had the ignore option... here is an image how Blizzard fights spam in SC2 beta

    they fail in both ways: in delivering what we want and protecting us from the reason of all this

    so honestly were you ever concerned bout spam in chat channels?

    When I get spammed by bots in SC1, it is pretty annoying at times. But there is always the ignore button as you said. Also, like others have said, just go straight to your game.

    Sometimes they get annoying, but as you said in the poll options, there is always the ignore button...

    ------ 12 years after, in a galaxy very very near to you, Bnet 2.0 does not have chat channels, not to mention ignore functions or privacy.

    Hello big brother, my life if yours, control me and sc**w me how ever you want.
    We want our breakfast with whatever big brother tells us we want it.

    Do you really like chat channels? - """some questions don't deserve answers"""
    We need to be apologetic, mannered little puppies, because our mommy blizzard won't listen to us.

    Maybe a slap in the face, a kick in the between legs will wake-up someone at Blizzard from their winter sleep, where they dreamed kittens, rainbows and ponies and bnet 2.0 being better even than rock.

    No sir, we need to make it facebok, but do you know how easy it was - Community manager... Of course, you got few million dollars, facebook integration done in an instant.
    Hey, but not only that, now you have no privacy, if you don't know facebook now you must know it, be friend with it, click the ads on it and make face-blizz money.

    Hey give them a slack they ain't producing bread or cheese, they got ads.

    Having they thrown out Hitler, now we must bay to Blizzard, pay for it and like it.
    -you are going to go to facebook and love it
    -you are going to pay for more maps storage and love it
    -you are going to pay for cross-region play and love it
    -you are going to pay for chat and love it
    -you are going to have to live with stupid and non-functioning custom games, replays and profile screens and not only that but love it.

    You thought EA was bad, hello ladies and gentlemen make room for activision-blizzard, the new prince of suck you dry.

    This is a stupid thread.

    Is spambotting detrimental to the overall quality of your product

    y/n

    If "y" then effort in removing it can only be construed as a good thing.

    And I thought the account bound to the game was to avoid these kind of situation.

    It's like in WoW, if there are characters spamming in game, Blizzard can easily track the account and bans it. The reason why there is alot of it even in WoW means that too many people get scammed, but hey, that's nothing about chat rooms. I even think chat rooms would be a better place to track down spammers rather than having to deal with the whispers while u play. If blizzard wants to break spamming, just perma ban all accounts that spam, nomatter the reason, even if the account has been stolen, u should have ur account stolen if u take care of it.

    it isn't about the overall quality of the product, it is just about this issue nothing else
    you seem to have diffrent opinions in every thread so I am lost in determing your overall position
