I am so far super happy with PRO's moderation (and the help I've been given. Special mention to trade moderators in forums, Qeight and Artorias who have helped me a few times already in forums), and I have 0 concerns with it so I'll go straight to the point here:
My only real concern and BIG issue is invite, trade, and chat spam.
I understand 100% that we can use /ignore, and that we have to use /ignore and simply move on. However, this does not solve the problem AT ALL.
I have either 2 fixes for this: Either begging for stuff nonstop in dms is bannable, spamming invites and trade requests is also bannable, or /ignore an user becomes permanent and an ignore list where you can edit the list is created. Because mother of god does it get annoying.
There was a situation where there was a guy in Saffron city who would absurdly spam invites to EVERYONE who entered the pokecenter, and trade requests nonstop. If you accepted, he would dm you instantly and start begging. I thought I was the only one to receive them until more than one user dm'd me in discord days later SHOWING SCREENSHOTS PROVING THE GUY WAS STILL THERE BEGGING. I bursted laughing, but at the same time, I felt incredibly frustrated.
I am aware of the ignore solution and turning off DMs, but: /ignore only lasts until you log out (and then you have to stand the same guys over and over again, same goes for misbehaving people in all chat who stir up controversy and then have to be reported in forums, which I will start doing a LOT if they go at it again), and I should not have to turn off my dms and thus be blocked from speaking to my Alliance of guilds (with 300+ active members in different timezones), be unable to talk to my friends, be unable to talk with random users to help them out in private chats... Even talking to staff then gets impossible to me (hi Giorgio stalking me ingame you smelly fish >:V also hi Magicguard and Epiales) and I'm friends with some, I feel bad if I have to turn off my dms because some users simply won't stop spamming. Just make it punishable or bannable, it's absurdly annoying.
I'll understand if this does not change, but it kills my mental sanity when I'm spammed nonstop.
Ty for reading this :)
