Recently we've had to remove a few posts for Spamming, content that is against the Community Rules.
Spamming: Please do not post spam on the official The Elder Scrolls Online forums. Below are a few examples of what we define as spamming:
- Posting the same message more than once
- Posting messages that are nonsensical or have no real content
- Posting messages or images large enough to disrupt the normal flow of conversation
- Reposting material that has been removed by a member of the ESO Team
Also, please refrain from posting the same topic in multiple areas of the forum, or cross-posting in an attempt to gain further views or replies. This is considered spamming, and the duplicate threads will be removed.
For further posts be sure to stay constructive and respectful to avoid thread derailment. Thank you for understanding.
This 'staff surfing' bug is very common, usually fixed by equipping-unequipping any hat in Appearance. But it should happen in your case since its mostly caused by barswaps.
