Billy Mays although you have made valid points, when you run a website that has a higher amount of traffic from countries which may not always speak the best english you cannot rely on a PM to solve an issue.
If someone from greece for example puts "5vs5 accept" in the shoutbox and they dont speak good english, then you have to hope that IF they read the PM that they understand what it means and then hope that they don't just ignore it.
Quite a few people ignore their PM system even though it pops up right in their face.
When handling a large amount of users, something as simple as a PM has so many ways of being ignored, even if UNGL tried someone else warnings just don't work because people generally don't care. An instant gag enforces a very simple rule and then the person either knows they shouldn't advertise there or actually PM an admin to find out why...
To sum up, the admins know what they are doing bud, they are just trying to enforce a rule that really shouldn't even be a problem but for a few reasons it is.
