Reply to Blacklist?

[Lurkios]

Pretty sure we've all had this one happen.

A gil spammer sends us a tell.
We blacklist them.
Suddenly, in the midst of conversation, "/r" no longer works.

Seems that if someone on your Blacklist sends you a tell your replies are still redirected to them rather than the last unblocked tell.

Can this not be the case?

Agreed.

And on a separate, but related, note re the interaction between the chat log and the blacklist; it would be especially awesome if blacklisted characters were automatically filtered out of all chat logs so the spam they'd churned out before you blisted them disappears.

I can see this could be non-trivial to fix as the game can't know that the /tell it's just given you won't be /blisted .. just how many previous /tell-ers is it going to have to remember to deal with this? One? Then someone will complain when they get two spam /tells while talking to someone. Two? .. ad infinitum.

The game builds a list of previous /tellers which is clear, as it cycles through them when you repeat hit Alt+R. I don't know the max, but it's at least the last eight. There just needs to be an additional command to find and remove the character from this list when you confirm addition of the name to the blacklist. The fact that it doesn't do this already just seems like an oversight to me.
