When we Blacklist could we get a option to report them to the GM.

Thank you for the suggestions! While we don't have a timetable for if we can implement something like this, we'll definitely take it into consideration.

also, please make it so you can't see the guy's jumps when you have him already blacklisted.

Hey all,




Thank you for the suggestions! While we don't have a timetable for if we can implement something like this, we'll definitely take it into consideration.

Also, when you blacklist someone can you remove the messages they flooded the chat with? As if they never existed to us?

How about making blist work on linkshell/free company invites as well? There are people who know they're blacklisted and annoy you with linkshell invite spams.

Can we have this? If you blacklist someone, you should have a window come up immediately after you confirm that you want to add them to the blacklist with the following...

Do you want to report this user?
[drop down menu]
Gil Selling
Abuse
Cheating
Other

[Notes entry area: optional unless you select Other]

I don't bother to report spammers at the moment, but this kind of automated system would mean gil sellers etc. would be spotted a lot faster.

EDIT: I don't know if it's possible, but you could also set it up so that it automatically detects the last five lines of text sent to you from that user or something similar.

From an old thread I made. ^^ Would love to see this done.

Being able to select the name of an RMT spammer and not only add them to my black list but report them in a single click has been something I had been suggestion since shortly after the game's launch last year. With the current method, I also add the time that I received the spam. It probably doesn't help, but you never know.

The ease with which we can add RMT spammers to our black lists is a step in the right direction, though.

Hang on!

We've been asking since release for an EASY way to report spammers, many have referred you to WOW's 'right-click' method as about the easiest there is, and STILL you have no concrete plans to add any such feature?

Ridiculous.

This isn't even the easiest. There's absolutely no reason why automation shouldn't be implemented here to combat the worst of the behaviour. Some sort of automatic flag + temporary account ban that gets triggered if two conditions are coupled; say, a certain number of blacklists (5 in 60 seconds, perhaps), coupled with a certain number of messages sent (say, 30 over 60 seconds, which is faster than anyone is reasonably going to type).

To be sure, a right-click option is a good idea, and needed for what falls through the cracks, but automated measures are how you destroy (or severely hinder) RMT bots.

173 Names on my Blacklist (this is after i removed the "(Deleted)" ones). ALL of them RMT who's either spammed shout or via tells. Wish I could send them all to a report to GM somehow.

[Mjollnir]

Seems a few of us have had perfectly good, easy-to-implement solutions to what we perceive as the problem. Here's mine from 4th September last year, which I still think's a great idea

Why can't this system be automated?

Once a user has been blacklisted by, say, 200 people (number pulled out of the air), all characters on their account (or SE-ID) can no longer talk - eg no /say, /tell, /shout and whatever else. A message pops up on their screen telling them so and to contact a GM to start an investigation to have their character unblocked. Gilsellers wouldn't be able to do so, and in the unlikely event this is used to grief a player, a GM could restore their rights. Importantly, it doesn't stop them from playing the game and doesn't stop their subscription.

This way you could not only block gilsellers from talking, but abusive and racist players too.

You could go an extra length for peace of mind and have a /block function and a /blacklist function - the /blacklist doing what was mentioned above (essentially an auto-report tool) and the /block just for people you personally dislike or find annoying and don't want to hear, even if they've not actually done anything wrong. Both functions would have the same effect from your point of view, just the blacklist would add to user-regulation of improper play.
