Snowballs for spammers

Full Story Here

World of Warcraft players have discovered a more direct and more
satisfying way of dealing with "gold farmers". The farmers make real
money by exchanging dollars for virtual gold. Regular players are often
annoyed when these farmers send multiple messages over the citywide
chat
in the major towns of Ironforge and Ogrimmar. WoW administrators have
rarely stepped in to stop message spamming, but players on the Medivh
server have found that a well thrown virtual snowball gets the point
across much more effectively.

And someone is selling the snowballs... [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

Same. Waste of money really.

HIJACK- I'm POSITIVE 1.9 will be released on X-mas.

On X-Mas day or around X-Mas time?

I think it'll be out Wednesday.

And I'm glad I'm an engineer and have a Snowmaster. Now if people get on my nerves I know what to do.
