Please revamp your spam filtering algorithm. It's getting to the point where it is easier to chat over 3rd party voice chat/text chat services than trying to figure out what random combination of letters is triggering the server/client to drop tells.
If you don't see the message at all, you have to turn Spam to show in Alt+O -> Chat, this will say a uchat message if your chat was spammed, and for other people you can click (spam) to see what they said I don't join general chat so it might be different there, but I haven't seen a legit spam message in years, just people being randomly flagged for random words that make no sense why they got spam filtered The spam filter is indeed bad
I agree with the OP it is getting kinda silly. I tried to tell a friend that someone parceled me an item for free and how nice of a gesture it was. I guess that was spam. Tried again and said someone sent me an item for free, went through. So possibly the word parcel, which would be silly indeed since it's a word used to describe an in game feature.
Good to know, I was wondering why my tells were getting dropped. No, I wasn't offering plat for pennies.
Exactly what I've resorted to... it's annoying to have so many tells dropped in the last few weeks! Edit: just thought of something that may be useful for troubleshooting. I get some tells randomly dropped, but I've also had my afk message not work (when I sell items I put the details in an afk message because you cant argue price with an afk message ). So I auction I'm selling something, they send tell and my screen shows the afk message doesn't send AND they tell me they didn't receive it... however if I send a tell from an alt on the same computer it goes every time (on both screens). Maybe that will help you track down where this bug is originating.
