[Live] Group tag spamming
 
Not really a Legion bug since it's also on Live, but players can spam battlegrounds/instances with group tags, overcoming the 255 character limit

If it's the group leader, they can also spam /rw

Code:

/rw {g1} {g2} {g3} {g4}
https://github.com/Gethe/wow-ui-sour...ua#L3133-L3148
Lua Code:
  1. elseif ( GROUP_TAG_LIST[term] ) then
  2.     local groupIndex = GROUP_TAG_LIST[term];
  3.     local groupList = "[";
  4.     for i=1, GetNumGroupMembers() do
  5.         local name, rank, subgroup, level, class, classFileName = GetRaidRosterInfo(i);
  6.         if ( name and subgroup == groupIndex ) then
  7.             local classColorTable = RAID_CLASS_COLORS[classFileName];
  8.             if ( classColorTable ) then
  9.                 name = string.format("\124cff%.2x%.2x%.2x%s\124r", classColorTable.r*255, classColorTable.g*255, classColorTable.b*255, name);
  10.             end
  11.             groupList = groupList..(groupList == "[" and "" or PLAYER_LIST_DELIMITER)..name;
  12.         end
  13.     end
  14.     groupList = groupList.."]";
  15.     arg1 = string.gsub(arg1, tag, groupList);
  16. end

The problem is that the server sees something like {g1}, which only takes 4 chars out of the 255 limit. This also effects every chat channel, not just BG/Instances. These tags can also easily be disabled by wiping the GROUP_TAG_LIST table. I've had to do this on many occasions where people spammed the server channels with this crap.
