Yeah... I see this every now and then. I'm not saying that they don't do anything at all. I'm saying that they don't do anything effective.
Facts:
- I get spammed via /tell every couple minutes (sometimes more);
- Blacklist goes from empty to full in about 2 days (that because I only play a few hours every night);
- People continue buying gil, nothing happens;
- Blacklist gets about 1-2% deleted after a few weeks.

So, what are my conclusions?
- SE is not treating the spam situation seriously;
- SE is not punishing gil buyers;
- SE is not being the least considerate to the overwhelming number of player complaints by at least giving some reason as to why they are not acting on it.

It's very weird... if someone gets reported for using a parser, they get temp banned most of the time. Report a spambot, or a gil buyer.. nothing ever happens. I don't know about the rest of you, but I couldn't care less if people are parsing or not, as long as they aren't being a**holes to others, but I do care about people buying gil nonstop, and being spammed to much to the point of making me having to turn an MMO into a single player game.
There are so many ways to either solve the problem or at least make it so inefficient to spammers that it wouldn't be feasible to maintain, that I really can't understand SE's lack of interest.
