Mule trade it does not seem to be working even when I try putting /trade before the message it still goes into open chat.

Probably an ACTool macro if they're not using a custom tradebot plugin.

If I remember correctly, Mule Trade It! purposely does not allow spamming the /trade channel.

Why would you have a message on DT that says "I am a trade Bot, Come kill me and check out my stuff!"?

We had a discussion a long tome back, and it was kind of decided that it was best if bots were limited to talking in the general area and replies (tells), and to keep them off the channels

I'm not a DT'er but I assume that the bots there trade behind housing barriers & I'd assume they would want to spam on trade channel so that that the customers could find them

The spam is the exact reason bots were excluded from using the channels.

DT as a server is an exception and plugins are not generally coded to account for it.

Muletrader won't do it, but a macro that takes all of two minutes to write in ACTool will.
