Nostalrius Begins - Quality wow vanilla realm (1.12)

Hi, I'm a beginner who just began playing this game today and I cannot seem to able to talk in the regular '/say' chat. It worked in the start but then suddenly did not. I have tried multiple methods such as 'leave general' and 'join general' and a few times it let me talk 3 times and then it did not work any more. I also tried the deleting chat cache thing but it did not seem to do anything. Looking for help please
Much appreciated

Hi and welcome to Nostalrius.

New characters or rather new accounts have a limitation of the chat.

This is one of the methods to combat the goldseller advertisement accounts.

Each level these limitations are lowered for you and with level 15 almost all of them are gone.

Btw; Try to avoid using public chat channels below level 15 at some point, since the ChatSpam detection could also ban you as a false positive.

If it does, you just have to create an unban appeal here
