Earlier Nilborg said it was extremely selfish for those that want to keep ooc as global to ask those that dont want it to be global to turn it off.
I think its selfish for those that profess to hate the global nature of ooc to ask others to give it up and to use the channel to spam their agenda as profusely as they did today.
Its not that hard to right click and make a new chat window and filter ooc to it or to /ignore those really bad spam-bots
I Use the default UI that titanium has and I run with 4 chat windows. Primary Chat, combat, spells, spam. I have /auction and /ooc in my spam window and its the smallest window on my right side since I personally look more at the left side chat window (group chat, server announcements, con messages, exp messages, loot messages etc etc)
For about an hour of sitting there watching the chat window go by I observed that about 20percent of the use of the channel was productive chats. People seeking groups, porting services, seeking rez's, general questions about the server.
The Pro vs. Con fight was a good 60 percent or 70 percent of the chat. Going to chalk that up to this poll and not go any further.
Now the remaining part was pure stupid spam but every server has it in some way or another.
Since I only log in here for a few hours here and there I have no "working knowledge" of how good or bad the ooc is on a daily basis and this is just my observation for today.
