I've said it for months, and I've posted it so many times on the suggestion forums that it isn't even funny:

Steps to Eliminate this problem:
1) Isolate the Newbie Zones with their own General channel and /yell channel.
2) Apply new chat restrictions such that any character less than level 6 cannot send whispers to anyone over level 5, not in their guild, or not in their party.
3) Apply new channel restrictions such that any character less than level 6 cannot use /trade, /localdefense, /guildrecruitment, or any non-newbie-zone /general channel.

Being forced to level a character to level 6 before being able to send their advertisements would be a solid deterrant to this annoying new method of spam.
