They dont know how to recruit so they spam its usual
And u may have done same when u were not knowing anything about game when u just started👍

This doesn't need to be censored. Use the mute button.

Besides, you know you want to see "Anyone wanna **** my clan?" and "**** us, please!" pop up on your global for a quick chuckle :-)

Brenn, do you think SPAM should be filtered?
Think about it: EVERY post on global is an advertisement ALREADY. There is really no difference btwn someone typing "join" and someone typing "..." (Meaning, anyone looking for a clan is gonna check out everyone's profile who is talking on global.)
"Join" is EASILY the most repeated word on Global, especially among one-word posts. Are you really against cleaning that up? Do you really want to mute twenty people? (Again, it isn't ONE person saying it TWENTY times, it is TWENTY folks all saying it ONCE.)

How about they type join and see it as ****
How would they feel about it being offensive language?

Folks who just type "join please" over and over equate to SPAM. Even 20 folks who type it once junks up the potentially fun Global Chat.

Then you'll just see a oot of stars everywhere and have bo idea if people are cussing or asking people to join.

Short answer: Yes.
Long answer:
The whole purpose of global is clan advertising. New clans need global to get members; older clans need global for advertising for better players. Doing this would completely negate the purpose of global chat.
