But RMT is something that needs to be brought to the GMs attention, so they know the characters doing it and can act on it. Saving the GMs time on this isn't something you should be doing. They cannot police every single character, you absolutely have to point out the RMT to them. Especially given how FFXIV doesn't have the staff for live GMs doing rounds banning as they see.

Louisoix is a bit like your server, nice, friendly, and supportive. But let's be fair, the internet has the tendency to bring out the worst in people because of the perceived anonymity they have.
The thing is though (at least when it happens on our server) the RMT Advertiser leaves after advertising. If we did kick them it would probably automatically re-invite them after awhile anyway. Even if it didn't, it still does about as good as reporting them when you see them spamming say or shouting their ad. The only way to stop a Mentor from intentionally inviting an RMT Advertiser into the Novice Network knowing full well that is what they are is to indeed ban the Mentor from the Novice Network, but it's hard to prove a single Mentor is doing such a thing since we don't know who invites the RMT Advertiser. It could be by accident, it could be because the RMT Advertiser asked to be invited and the Mentor was unaware they were one, and these factors make it hard to know if it is deliberate or accidental. I also doubt Square Enix would appreciate a report that turned out to be false lol
