Congratulations SE for 1 million accounts

....banned for RMT/Illicit activity. With today's ban wave update on the launcher (Apr 6-12th, 2017) the total number of accounts receiving a permanent ban for RMT/Illicit activity has finally climbed to over 1 million accounts. Man, that's probably a lot of chargebacks from stolen credit cards or w/e RMTs do. This is not including the ~136k accounts banned for advertising. That's stopped rising drastically ever since the click-to-report feature was implemented for chat.

Big shout out to the 3 man Special Task Force from 3.0, Satoshi Yasukawa, Harutaro Morimae and Makoto Okabe, ALSO the 4th person added during the 3.x lifecycle - Yuji Takahashi. It's great seeing an extra pair of hands added to the team as RMT bans skyrocketed from ~5k/week in OCT '16 to the 25k/week we're seeing now. You guys are putting in a lot of work in a relatively thankless job to fight against a seemingly endless bot army.

Congrats, SE, and great job!

Way to go S.E, keep up the effort.

And now, for my shameless QoL plug:


Add the auto-blacklist function to the report for rmt function. And also add an on/off feature for it. Thanks.

:) Great job Square Enix! Your hard work is much appreciated!

It's actually nice to bring this up.

I feel like people used to complain about RMT tells a lot, but that completely stopped for me, period.
Never seen any appreciation for that.
