Good question I report everyone I see that says go to this web site and yet they stay in business its all about the money at this point.
Blizzard is falling into the same trap as twitch. Basically they have a rules and some people bend them to the max. Unfortunately this is has an impact on the game and has been having an impact for many years. The essence of what an mmo has been destroyed by this type of behavior.
Now, unless it is gold selling, blizzard wont do anything. For the community and the game as a whole, it is far too late. The harm is done.
When MMOs start making really weird decisions, I've found this video to be very enlightening.
FOMO: "Fear Of Missing Out", also commonly known as people with a mental issue of managing time and activities, many expecting others to fit into their schedule so they don't miss out on things to come. If FOMO becomes a problem for you, do seek help, it can be a very unhealthy lifestyle..

You know a community is bad when moderators lock a thread because "...this isnt the place to talk about it either seeing as it will get trolled..."
Because it all works in their favour. The boostees buy gold from Blizzard to pay the boosters.
It didn't happen by accident that boost spam went nuts over recent years. It's by design.

It's clear they just hate you all. That's all, they're tired of your shit and are trying to ruin the game for you all specifically. They made lists and everything. Truth.
Don't be so naive.
It's totally intentional to milk the whales.
Anyhoo only adding my 2 pennies. Not gonna argue with the spastics here. If I said the grass was green, some cock would chirp in saying it was blue.

They don't look for chat/premade finder rule breakers they let players decide what they find inappropriate.
You don't report then it's fine

Only way anything will be done is if a certain % of people dip and put it down as the reason and don't come back for a bit. Because that affects the bottom line. People being mad in forums and still paying? What is here to see? Move along.

The addon people are talking about is this: https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addon...-groups-filter
My default, it hides groups that have been listed over a certain length of time, and it hides groups that have a URL in the voice chat field. It doesn't actually filter based on spam terms but on traits that are common to boost groups. The tradeoff is that you do miss legitimate groups using it, especially if you PuG content where voice chat is often suggested. So it will be somewhat effective, but you may miss real groups. It won't stop the spam but you'll see a lot less of it since it will eliminate those groups that have just been sitting there listed for five hours to advertise.
I used it for a fair while but ended up disabling it because I decided I'd rather see those groups to report them.
Whether there are "worse" problems is debatable but also probably not relevant. You can be still concerned about something just because it's not the worst issue, and this is absolutely on the radar for a lot of people, especially in the M+ community. Just because it doesn't seem like that big of a deal for what you do and what you use the tool for doesn't mean that it isn't a very impactful negative issue for others. For those of us that PuG a lot, it is super detrimental to our experience to have to deal with the queue being stuffed full of boost runs, which makes real groups much harder and slower to find. On a day to day basis, I'd honestly rank this as my biggest frustration with playing the game. Sure, philosophical objections to design decisions they've made are more "important" but at the end of the day, the thing that is the actual speedbump when I go to play is the poor enforcement of managing group finder spam.
I think autobanning based on keywords is a bad idea (the idea you're replying to), but I don't disagree with the rule that makes it "illegal" to sell runs in the group finder. [And this isn't a change; it is already against policy, Blizzard just doesn't enforce it]
I give zero fucks if you want to sell runs or if people want to buy them, I just think you need to do it in /trade or avenues that aren't the Group tool. One guy selling boosts is easily ignorable, the problem is there are three dozen of you at any given time, and those of us looking to make a regular group have to dig through the pile to find an actual PuG group every time we want to make a group. The point of the tool was so players could be connected with other players to do group content together. It wasn't to offer a free billboard to groups selling carries or their services, but that's what it has ended up, to the detriment of people actually trying to build or join regular runs. I don't make any judgement calls about people who do buy/sell, but they need to do them elsewhere like they are supposed to. As I said in another post, I don't even care if Blizzard wants to GIVE you a billboard in the form of a tab just dedicated to services like this, as long as the actual group finding area stays clear.
accurate or not it happened and they got away with it, that's exactly what i'm talking about, 'nah sub numbers are wrong, no they are right', for f8ck sake data leaked first by security problem from blizz side!
see!
regarding topic, again they won't remove it, because that's how their current profit philosophy works now, get to pocket and fuck morals, blizz is literally fucking their own code about buying gold they showed in hints while loading game for years because now they are the seller

They are implicitly giving their approval by not banning the accounts spam advertising it all over the place. This is not a grey issue. Either ban the accounts, like the rules say you should, or create a channel that is strictly for boost spam. What we have now is a middleground that is the worst of both worlds.
I'm looking at the quality of Shadowlands, and it seems fine, guess we are playing different games. A bit stale on content release but that's it.
Also on topic, it is against the rules, you can report them.
Yes, reporting them all would take a lifetime because people doing it are making actual money out of it so they will keep trying endlessly. And this is also the reason it's hard to deal even for Blizzard.
They could start by banning the use of some words in the tool but hey, Ion is busy getting millions for Activision atm.
