I'm sorry if I'm beating a dead horse that and I don't really feel like sifting through a ton of forums, but can something please be done about goldceo.com?
Here's the harassment report I filled out moments ago:
"Server: Goblin
Time: 5pm JST and on going
Name: Various
Issue: Please see the below, this has been on going. My blacklist option is becoming full. I'm currently at 127/200. Please, correct this.
Cfgdsth Fthdr >> (%%%=O) Selling the lowest priced Gil.Any purchase over $20 gets 5% bonus gil, Use Halloween discount code:d31d0a6db7d2 and enjoy a 13% discount and instant delivery.

Dfgdf Cvre >>(%%%=O) Selling the lowest priced Gil.Any purchase over $20 gets 5% bonus gil, Use Halloween discount code:d31d0a6db7d2 and enjoy a 13% discount and instant delivery."
As you can see, I'm now 127/200 blacklisted, and that's just people spamming gold buying websites either in my /tell or via /shout.
I have yet to actually blacklist a real player.
Is there something in the works? Forgive me if the fix has already been posted.
Edit: Erased links, don't want to get banned. Thank you all for the heads up!
Goldceo Spam increasing.

i would remove the links, i think it's bannable on the forum.
anyway if you think about it it's hard to quickly catch such behaviour. multiple characters made on multiple servers with always different messages that little by little are becoming more complex than captchas.
you can send a ticket but even then multiple people are getting spam messages and a percentage of them is sending reports. a moderator then has to go through all of them, verify the message in their logs and eventually ban the guy. and you get why they are not banned in real time.
the horror. -

If they'd add a "Block and Report" to the right-click menu on the chatbox A LOT more people would be reporting gold sellers.
And a system that caused someone to be automatically chat blocked after 50 reports within a day until their case received attention from a GM would seem viable. -

The links gotta go, as SE considers it passive advertising. Also, you can delete some of the old ones. The ones that say deleted is due to a player purposefully deleting the character. The rest most likely are banned already, but they are not removed from your blacklist automatically. I dropped all but the last 12 and have yet to see a shout.
GoldCEO is a persistent bugger though. A new one every other hour it seems. -

It's actually quite easy to fix this. All they have to do is implement a 1 second cooldown in between /tell messages. Normal users won't even notice this, but spammers will no longer be able to use one character to spam everyone on the server every 15 seconds.

Making more topics about the spam issue isn't going to make things any different.
-
11-05-2013, 04:48 PMVesparActually it might. Think of it this way. If everyone started a topic about gil sellers and posted one thread each.. this forum would get overloaded in minutes with all the threads... The only reason it isnt is most are too lazy to come on the forums and beg SE to fix it, or they post on someone else's post...Quote:

So we'll get a mass ban… of players from the forum.

What is SE doing about the Gil Sellers anyway?

11-06-2013, 06:23 AMVesparAtleast they would maybe finally communicate their plans with us :PQuote:

All WE can really do right now is add the gilseller/cheater to our already full list of black-listed cheaters (I think I'm currently @ 127/200), and report them using the support desk. But when my list hits 200 even that will become impossible.. And with the way a certain "RMT Website" has been going, I typically blacklist about 4-5 of their RMT's a day, it should be full in a few days >.>;Quote:

I would edit out any references to the site name as it's only advertsiing for them, sadly.

Funny is they are now saying they are "trusted and reputable" like some shady car salesman on the tv saying "Heeeey ... come buy from us! We won't rip you off!" while the car behind him falls apart.

11-07-2013, 06:43 AMEd_N_AntsThis is a great idea except for SE decided to put restrictions on the forums so that people can do this... Probably because they have people monitor the forums and they don't want to waste their time, but in game is fine since they have no one monitoring that... And don't even tell me that they have people doing in game monitoring because if they do they better give them the power to ban people...Quote:

Person sending tells to 20+ people in 10seconds or less should send an instant red flag warning to them that the player needs to be looked at.
(There are ways to do this legitimately, but I can't think of a reason why anyone would do it)
I've reported 54 of these guys specifically, and no clue how many Gil Sellers in total. These guys being especially bad, I use both harassment and cheating reports. -
