Proposal to fix gil spam

[Vorpal_Spork]

I am frankly getting very tired of hearing other players DEFEND SE's practices with RMT. Maybe if SE actually followed their own policies on this it wouldn't be a problem. BAN the people who sell, spam AND BUY, do not allow them or their IP addresses back. That's right, IP ban them. We all know that its not just the RMT's who deal in this business, players who normally have no contact are also making a pretty penny off this ludicrous business. The only people who should be defending SE's lack of ability to follow their own rules are the one who are profiting off of it. Players shouldn't get away from buying gil from RMT or selling gil to the RMT.

IP bans are worthless. To anyone with the tiniest bit of computer skill they're a brief annoyance at best.

Maybe make a system that if they get 10 reports or more in a week, automatic ban. That way people don't just try to ban jerks or people having a bad day.

That is a massively bad idea. That kind of system always has rampant abuse problems. There always needs to be a human involved in ban decisions.

Good point, then perhaps make it so that if they get 10 reports or more, it flags it to the top of the list to be investigated? Therefore nabbing the most annoying offenders. xD I don't know, but they do need to do something about this, its getting unreal. x.x;

I think they already have something like that. If I report a gil spammer or a mining bot, when I get an automated reply, a lot of the time I'm told from an auto message that they've received a lot of reports about the same issue, so individual replies will not be given.
