    What part of EcoCityCraft is this suggestion for:
    Network Wide​
    Short title for your suggestion:
    Remove 5 minute limit for trade chat​
    What are you suggesting:
    Remove the rule that someone can only post 1 unique ad in trade chat every 5 minutes​
    Why is this a good addition for EcoCityCraft?:
    The rule limiting ads in trade was a good idea years ago when we had hundreds of players and ads would spam the chat. Now that we're a smaller server, it's a redundant rule. The trade chat limit is an annoyance for new players who don't know the rule, or players who advertise something then remember something else they want to advertise. I really doubt removing this rule will lead to excessive spam.​
    Other information:
    To prevent spam, trade chat should just be covered by the same spam rule as every other channel. If someone's genuinely spamming trade, warn or kick them at moderator discretion.​
    Plugin or custom addition:

    ​
    One suggestion per form:
    I Understand.​

    -1 There is normally not a lot of chat going on, so the trade ads stay in chat for a while. The 2 per 5 min rule unnecessarily spammed up chat.

    Alternatively, make it more of a guideline than a rule, or mods could stop being as strict as they are required to be. If chat is dead then I really could care less if someone is posting an ad every 2 or 3 minutes. I probably wouldn't notice it otherwise because I never pay attention to chat unless people are talking or I get a pm.

    no point in spamming ads more often if the potential amount of players adressed didnt change in the last 2-5minutes
    id rather vote for upping the limit to like 10 minutes or something...or remove trade chat altogether because to me it usually seems quite desperate when people even run macros only to spam ads every 5mins that are being read (if even lol) by the same players in that small time frame.
