1. Check one:
In general, spammers in my games:

* Annoy me greatly and interfere significantly with my Battle.net experience. Blizzard needs to address this issue.

2. Have you ever bought items from a site advertised by an in-game spambot? (Yes or No).

Once, long ago, before I was Saved.

3. In public battle.net games you join, approx. what percentage have at least one spammer flood the screen during the course of the game?

95%

4. In games you create or join that do have spammers, how many different spammers (unique accounts) join the game on average?

More than one; fewer than a dozen.

5. (Hardcore-mode players only): Have you ever nearly lost (or actually lost) a character as a result of spam flooding the screen?

N/A

6. Which of the following suggested solutions would you support (Choose 1 or more):

A) "/option ignoremessages" (alias: "/o igm") will ignore all in-game text messages from anyone who is EITHER a) not in your friends list OR b) not partied with you. (From 4thdimension and Aces-wild.)

(thanks, BTW)
