Certain folks get far too...well, pushy, I guess I'd say, within the World of Warcraft. There's this tendency by those folks to say in trade, group, or guild chat "[name] is doing X" without checking with the named person first. It's one thing when you're teasing them in trade (e.g. "Joe is dating Jean") but quite another when you're discussing anything else. If you say "Azune is running X instance" to a group of folks and I either A) lied to you to get you to stop nagging me about when I was actually going to do that instance, or B) already have a group and don't want 20 whispers, you've put me in a bind.
The thing is, the folks who do this have ZERO idea they're causing any problems -- they think they're being helpful. They think of themselves as facilitators and matchmakers. And they, of course, get horribly insulted when you snarl at them because they've just caused you a huge headache.
Bottom line -- don't announce anything in gchat, trade, Vent, or party chat about anyone else. Whisper to the person involved if you feel the need to be helpful. I don't care if you're the party/raid leader, a GM, or the Pope, if I didn't hire you as my PR firm then don't take on that role without asking my permission first.

Did I hire you as my PR firm? Didn't think so, sweetie. :)
