Blacklist macro

Ok on a lot of threads i keep seeing people complain on blacklist difficulty while it is extremely easy.

just make a macro easy peasy and here it is

/blist add <r>

This will add your last tell to the blacklist it wont help for the general Spam but to be honest i have not seen a lot of Spam in general for the last few days (or maybe it is because i blocked a lot of those already)

So make a macro put the icon on your hot bar get a tell press the icon and go on with your business

Thank you for this. :)

*Facepalm*

Can't believe this is so obvious, and I haven't even thought of it until now.

Thank you for pointing this out!

does this work on ps3 too?

Yes, these are in game macros.

Interesting fact. When you add an RMT to your /blist they still send you /tell's, so when your chatting to someone in /tell you suddenly get a message about not being able to send them a /tell as they are on your blacklist.

So it's like...

/r You want to do a CM run?
(player name) sure, when do you want to go?
/r you fine with now?
Unable to send message, recipient is on your blacklist
/wtf O_o

Im almost ready to make an out of game macro to handle /shout spammers.
manually click name and choose /tell, then:

<bkspc>"<home><move right 1 space><delete><5x delete>blist "<enter>

I've just put shouts in a seperate tab, if I also have to blacklist every single shout spammer my blacklist will be filled up within a week or less.

Now all I have to do is blacklist the spammers that send /tells and the ones that have discovered the /yell function, which has limited my blacklist activities to one, maybe two per evening instead of per 30 minutes.

You are awesome!

Of course, this doesn't actually report them so you're not trying to help stamp them out.

Actually, she is helping her community by offering a useful macro to protect her peers from unwanted spam. Reporting gilsellers is a completely separate issue. This post is about offering a convenient way of adding them to the blacklist only. From my point of view, she is contributing positively to her community. Are you?

For general chat spam: Right click the person's name > Send Tell. Put the name in quotes via the arrow keys. Then erase off the /tell part and add /blist add. It should look like /blist add "name" when done. This is the easy way to blacklist Qiowf Soihjodif from spamming you.

a) this macro has been posted a few times now
b) it really really shouldn't be needed. se could simply give us the option to right-click blacklist AND REPORT (lotro does this, for example)
c) one major issue with the blacklisting is that the chat automatically scrolls down more often than not. there needs to be an easy function to stop that (for example like most mmos handle it. as soon as you scroll up the chat realises that you probably still want to read something)

thank you, anyway. this will come in handy for people while we wait for SE to actually help us out here

Also, you do get a confirmation prompt when you use this feature, so you don't risk blacklisting someone else.

It will clearly ask you: "Do you wish to blacklist XXX YYY? Yes/No".

If you put the boldface "add " that I edited into the above quote, and remove the extra "delete" that I underlined, it works perfectly. I use this macro on my logitech G710+. I also use a 100 ms delay between characters, though it might work just as well at 50 ms.

Using a keyboard macro like this is technically against the TOS, but I'm guessing SE will be OK with it until they give us a better method.
