What are the rules for Guild Recruitment in the in-game chat?

I have apparently received a temporary ban from the in-game chat and the only reason I can think of is because I posted a recruitment message for my guild in a few channels.  I didn't think this was wrong to post a recruitment message because I see other people doing it all the time.  The only difference I can think of is that I went to several different chat channels and posted the same recruitment message in each one.

And if that's against the rules; fine, fair enough, now I know.  I won't do it again.

But it would help if there was a clear statement of what the rules actually are.  "No spamming" is mentioned in the terms of service but how is that defined?  How many channels can I post a recruitment message in and how long should I leave it between each post?

Thanks!

Only just seen this as I could chat again shortly after my last post so I assumed it had been sorted.  But today I made the mistake of posting two recruitment messages again and BAM ... banned until Friday.


Is this going to happen every time?  Am I going to need to come to the forums every time I try recruiting?  Because if so, I would suggest that instead of me asking each time to have the ban lifted, the algorithms in the chat need to be changed instead.

But if a one-time-fix would work forever more then great!

Could you write here the message you use to recruit? And could you also write here (or dm me) your User ID, please?

Sorry, guys, I've deleted Player J's message because he was trolling and it could be confusing. :)

My recruitment message is: "EscapedArkhamInmates is a new Clan founded by new players for new players!  Come and join us and let's learn the game together!"


Mu User ID is: "um22741487/22360158"

Incidentally, there are now six pages of spam on this forum.

I just thought I'd point it out because two recruitment messages gets me banned from the in-game chat but there are six pages of spam on this forum.  **lol**

I know, man, I'm sorry for that. Btw I think that's something the algorithm doesn't like, so try to change it a bit.

Can you say for sure which is the bit that the algorithm doesn't like?  I don't want to spend ages crafting a completely new message only to leave in the word "new" and get banned again.  :-D

I really don't know, but I'll ask to devs for sure.


Maybe try this: 

Clan "EscapedArkhamInmates" is searching for new players! If you want to learn how to play, this is your opportunity!
