I just say restrictions over Spatial chats. All auction channels should be Forced "non-AFK" chat only. If AFK / Forced AFK, cannot send anything to auction / planet or spatial. Only tells

Of course not. It is great too. What is wrong with multiple means of advertisements? How about our sources of information in the real world? We have TV, magazines, newspapers, billboards and more. I like multiple ideas except for spamming.

Actually , no. I already have 2 chat windows open, and really don't relish the idea of another taking up even more of the already dwindlingscreenspace.

the problem with the chat system is that it requires both parties to be online.
What I am suggesting is like a newspaper add.
This means the seller can go offline safe in the knowledge that people will
see the add and that he/she is helping the lag problem.

This is a great idea. I hate having to look across every weapons vendor on a planet just to find a decent weapons shop with stocked Long Vibro-Axes for Pikeman that are qualitymade. Most vendors focus on the other profession weapons. The advertising spam is also annoying.

I like the idea of an advertising terminal of some sort. I hate the action channel. Sometimes so much flys by on there at once you can't keep up with it without having to scroll back five miles of text 
But with a newspaper/ad terminal, that had categories and one that had search capabilities, I think that would be really useful. If I was looking for crates of brandy, certain weapons or armor, I could scan the terminal, find the prices, stats and vendors and waypoints. Then zip... off to make a purchase I go. Also, as a hunter I could sell my hide, meat or bone or even maybe my services.
Can you see the bounty hunter section:
Wanted: DEAD xxxPlayer, will pay 150,000 credits for verified screen shots. Contact yyyPlayer
Interesting concept for sure. I do like a lot of the ideas I have seen in this thread.
