And if yell were removed, they would be using PM to flame and/or bait. Your logic is because someone can type, it should be taken away.

Oh my god, Vcom. How do you know they aren't capable of using it properly? They have used it well before, it's entirely possible they can do it again. Why do you insist on a minority should be able to overrule and ruin a great aspect for the majority.
And if you're going to argue my points, argue all of them, not just the ones you can create a flimsy argument against. Your claims as to why I can still trade without Yell are futile; not everybody is Premium, not everyone is standing around there in any one spot, and there is no way I can effectively trade without the majority without some form of yell ability.
Your link to the Report Staff section is also irrelevant. That is but a few reports regarding yells, most of which are invalid because people do not understand what context is. People hate having things taken away from them, which is what yellmutes effectively do, so they complain. Doesn't make it justified.
Look at Player Reports; most are of flaming in public chat. Do you want that removed too? I mean, it is clearly causing huge issues. Oh look, so do Forums. I don't understand how you see Yell as the problem, when it's people. You're against yell because you simply believe 'it causes negativity'. Yell does not cause this, the negative attitudes of people cause yell to be that way.

Copied and pasted what Mike said but this is what I think should happen:
-> Racism:
first time - 7 day mute,
second time -permanent yellmute.
-> Insults/disrespect: for actual cases 2-3 days
people usually have a crude sense of humor and most jokes are out of sarcasim. Like me and maurits.
-> Baiting/luring/minor disrespectful comment: 7 hours to a day if it's serious
-> Spam/cc advertisement/saying 'gf' after a mute/personal conversations: an hour or something small.

This should be enforced,but there's no ultimate way of telling.
I like the idea of a filtration system. instead of typing in filters that are automaticlly muted for,why not just have a "blocked" list for yell?
Then for the buyers and sellers on yell add the command ::buy-msg\::sell-msg.
If somebody uses a word that is on the filter system,then the system displays a message such as:
"You are using a blocked phrase or word,please check your message again." IT's a way of saying maybe you shouldn't say that in public.
Now as for CCs and PM'ing. I think rules clearly state what cannot and can be considered allowed.
CCs:
-Owners and CC staff have divine power above anyone and can excuse\bypass anything that they wish. What's said in a cc,stays in a cc.
-The players in a Clan Chat have full knowledge of what they say and do,Abusing it only causes themselves harm. If there are no CC staff avaliable,then I vote that somebody with the ability to yell should say something about it,without punishment. Now I do clearly understand they are advertising a CC and aren't the owner,yet this can be considered an emergency to some.
PMs:
-PM'ing is completely and utterly in the own players hands. No one else has your messages and nor will they. If you get a bad PM from somebody then you can get a staff member involved and take the case accordingly. Yelling about a bad PM isn't something thats considered a emergency. Not many people will want to see that being paged.
With that being said,I want to just ensure that no one else gave me this information. Went merely on thought alone.
Gosh I am tired,Who wants to bring me a sammich?

Kay Cee, a filtration system is useless; if they really did want to flame, it would either go over PM instead or they would change "fuck you faggot" to something like "f.uck you f4gg0at". Whatever paraimetres are set, it can probably be loopholed. However, if it's over PM, at least it isn't spreading the negativity throughout the server.
