    Suggestion:
    Change trade advertising rule to 2 ads every 6 minutes instead of every 3.
    Reason:
    Since there hasn't been macro mod, the lack of trade ads has been nice, and people pay more attention when ads are posted in /ch tr. Now that macro mod is updated, the chat is going to go back to what it used to be, full of trade ad spam. This is especially a problem during off peak time when chat is not as active, so it easily fills with trade chat macros. This also leads to people not really paying attention to the ads being put in /ch tr, due to the chat channel being way too over used.
    Any Other Information:
    None.

    No, but it's easy for those with macro to set it, just have to make them responsible. It's not like any mod truly counts the minutes between ads, only when they're obviously coming quickly.

    Agreed, and I also /ignore every single one of the spammers (even if I do have to repeat this every few hours sometimes because of restarts).

    eh +1 only if it is every 5 minutes,@a18greek18 I feel the same way lol. I personally use my trade macros, and don't really care if trade gets filled ;p

    Adding rules that give off the notion that "it's illegal but no one cares" is just backwards and silly and needlessly complicates the rules.

    "no point"

    Except that trade is constantly spammed with ads which in turn reduce the amount of attention trade gets as more players leave the channel?

    There's a perfectly valid point/reason for this suggestion. Dismissing the suggestion because there's apparently "no point" is just silly.

    So we should change a rule because it hurts your eyes so much to watch people advertise?

    We should alter a rule because literally trade chat spam during off peak from trade macros . Not the macros fault sure , but adjusting it to say 5 mins (mods usually say 3-5 mins, let's use 5 as our minimum time now?) wouldn't be a huge issue. It's just an additional 2 minutes.
