What do you do with a Blacklist full?

I’ve played MMOs long enough to say with 100% confidence that if your blacklist is full, the problem is probably you.

Not if 95% of it is gil spammers, but you don't want to delete the other 5% that represent actual obnoxious players. Unfortunately, this game doesn't give us a good way to distinguish the reason someone was blacklisted.

No point in listing gil spammers since they change names every few minutes. (Reporting them SHOULD block them for the remainder of your login, like it does in WoW.)

It's not every few minutes (though they may alternate if multiple spam bots are active at once). They'll last a few hours, long enough for blacklisting to be at least temporarily useful. While I agree that a separate temporary block would be preferable, since we don't currently have that our best option is to blacklist them (as well as reporting them).

Blacklisting rmt is pointless. The account usually logs off in a few minutes and creates a new char, or it gets banned. They don't delete characters when they ban, so your blacklist is full of banned rmt bots lol.

There is actually a way to tell, if their user name looks like them smashed their head on the keyboard they are Gil spammers.
