guild invite spam not against the rules?!

I don’t mind guilds advertising. But I despise gold sellers and trial carry solicitors aka Team Brazil and the like spamming garbage on repeat in every zone by multiple people.

Guilds advertising isn't the problem this thread is discussing. The problem is one very annoying guild just auto invites anyone who uses the wayshrine in Daggerfall. Without fail, I zone into the wayshrine and the guild invite popup appears. I always hit ignore player and report him, but it doesn't seem to actually do anything.

I already know exactly which guild(s) the OP is referring to. I even accepted the invite once to tell them in their own guild chat to stop. Yet, here they are, still spamming away. I truly hope you guys actually follow up on this and prevent it in the future. *fingers crossed*

I think the guild is setting up new accounts knowing the account doing the spamming will likely be banned. When I joined their guild just so I could tell them to stop the bot doing the inviting was only level 16. And ya, I knew exactly what guild this post was about before I even opened the thread.

This has been going on a long time and is super annoying.

Being at 5 guilds does prevent additional invites, if that helps.

^^^ This is the only thing that worked for me.

I'm pretty sure I know which guild the OP means, because I was in 5 guilds but then dropped out of one, and immediately got repeatedly hit by whispered invites to a certain guild. I joined for a time, but they kicked me for not measuring up to their strict membership requirements-- particularly the one about joining their Discord and maintaining a certain level of activity in it-- but then they just kept spamming me with more whispers despite having been the ones who kicked me!

They have multiple sister guilds with different focuses and slightly different requirements, so I joined two or three of those because the requirements seemed less strict, but I was still kicked for not measuring up and then got bombarded with more whispered invites. It would have been funny if it weren't so annoying.

And replying to the whispers did not do anything, because rumor has it that the character whispering the invites is just a bot, and if it isn't a bot then it must be in "offline" mode, because whispering a reply never gets any kind of response. Apparently the only way to get an actual response is to join their Discord and post a message there, but that still doesn't stop the spam coming from the invite-bot.

I finally joined a random guild that I kept seeing zone ads for, putting me back at 5 guilds and stopping the spam.

I'm not going to join 4 more guilds just to stop these invites. The one I'm in has everything I want in a guild and I don't need or want to join another.

Something really needs done about this guild, but it would help a lot of we had an "auto decline guild invites" option, like the one we have for duels.

I know there are add-ons that would help but this should be a feature all platforms can utilize.

Based on my experience earlier, I fear the guild in question may have moved to Vulkhel Guard wayshrine. They really need to be closed down.

Players were complaining about this in Grahtwood zone chat today after being bombarded with random unsolicited guild invites. Something really needs to be done about this.
