Ultimate RMT Spam Killer.. Us.

Rather than coding in more and more regex to flag/block RMT spam.. Why not leave it up to the players?

My idea is rather simple and in my opinion, ultimately, fool-proof.

Add the option "Report as RMT" to the right-click menu for incoming /TELL, /SAY and Friend Request names, but limit reports against players to one per person.

Keep a running 'tally' of how many "Report as RMT" clicks a character's account has received in, say, 30 minutes.

If any given player receives more than 5 'Report as RMT' flags in 30 minutes, block the ACCOUNT (not just the character) from being able to send TELLs or Friend Requests for, say, 1 hour for the first offence. The 2nd offence could be 12 hours pending Task Force review.

Personally, I can't really see any flaws in such a system and this also has the added benefit of reducing the workload of the STF, while making it soo much faster and easier to remove RMT spammers from the game.

Didn't see another place to put this thread.. Sorry if it's in the wrong subforum.

I've seen this suggested several times before. Like every suggestion about stopping RMT, both good and bad, it will be ignored.

No, this will only allow dbags to band together and ban someone that they don't like. I have seen it in many other games where people don't like a person's point of view and then someone shouts for everyone to just report them as a bot/rmt/etc.
